Studio in Details
Overview
HOTWORX on Ingersoll Avenue in Des Moines is a 24-hour infrared fitness studio that combines heat, infrared energy, and exercise. The facility offers a range of virtual instructor-led workouts available around the clock, making it convenient for early birds and night owls alike. The patented sauna technology creates what the studio calls “3D Training,” where the infrared heat penetrates the body to accelerate metabolism and detoxification while you work out. Sessions are either 15-minute High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) or 30-minute isometric workouts, guided by certified virtual instructors displayed on screens inside the sauna rooms. This approach aims to provide consistent, measurable training that helps members progress efficiently.
Workouts and Facilities
The studio provides a variety of workout types, including Hot Yoga, Hot Pilates, Hot Cycle, Barre, and HIIT, all performed inside infrared saunas. Each class follows a structured format designed to maintain consistency in flow and intervals, which the studio believes is key to muscle strengthening. Beyond the sauna workouts, there is an FX Zone—a functional exercise area equipped with bands, weights, ropes, and other equipment. Silent trainer videos on monitors offer routines for self-directed training before or after sauna sessions. Members can use this space to supplement their workouts with additional strength or mobility exercises. The studio is staffed during certain hours for check-ins and guest visits, but otherwise members access the facility with a key fob or app.
Membership and App Features
Membership includes unlimited access to all isometric and HIIT infrared workouts as well as the FX Zone, plus 24/7 entry to over 800 HOTWORX locations nationwide (premium locations may require a small fee). The HOTWORX Burn Off App serves as a central hub for booking sessions, tracking calories burned, and completing challenges. It features TrainingTRAX, which visualizes progress through a personalized avatar and provides structured training plans similar to a personal trainer. DietTRAX allows members to log meals by photo to track nutrition and maintain a calorie deficit. The HOTSQUAD feature lets members create workout groups to stay accountable with friends. First-time visitors can try a complimentary session during staffed hours, and presale rates are available for new members only.
