More Workout, Less Time at Hotworx

Experience the power of infrared heat and exercise for faster, more effective workouts

Are you a person who can find any excuse NOT to exercise? Too busy. Too tired. Too expensive. 

The answer to loving fitness is finding a workout program that works for YOU!  We all want results that make us look better, move better, feel better and live longer. These are the keys to success for a healthier YOU!

Stephen P. Smith, founder of Hotworx, came up with the idea of using heat and exercise to transform workouts. In order for this concept to come to fruition, Steve and a manufacturer had to figure out the effective dose of infrared absorption to the human body; clients had to be exposed to the heat and energy source in a very precise manner.  What they discovered has changed thousands of lives.

Hotworx's mission statement is “More Workout, Less Time”. Their 3D Training Method combines heat, infrared energy, and exercise. The heat component speeds up your metabolism as the temperature rises, giving you more flexibility during the workout. Clients can adjust the temperature in each personal sauna between 79-130 degrees. Hotworx proudly holds a patent on its infrared saunas.

The patented saunas use infrared energy. Clients have to be within 1 to 3 ft of the infrared heat source in order to receive effective energy absorption. This promotes deeper sweating and offers health benefits, including lowering blood pressure, improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and less joint and muscle pain.

Exercise is the third component of the 3D Method. There are two types of infrared sauna workouts: Isometrics and high intensity interval training (HIIT).

Isometric workouts include yoga, pilates, and movements that focus on glutes, abs, hips, lower back, and posture.  Some benefits of isometric exercise are improving muscle strength and endurance, as well as enhancing joint stability and rehab injuries. 

HIIT workouts focus on high-intensity sets that raise your heart rate while you are rowing or pedaling. By adding infrared heat and energy to your HIIT workout 3-4 times per week, you will accomplish three times the results. You can bike, use an endurance and cardio machine, or use a dual pulley water rower. Some benefits of HIIT include weight loss and increased lean body mass.

The Blue Springs Hotworx location has 5 isometric and 4 HIIT infrared studios. Each studio has professional virtual trainers who lead you through your workouts. All workouts should be pain-free. 

Hotworx also has a fitness area called the FX Zone, which is a non-heat area used to supplement your workouts with stretches, light weights, and ropes.  This area includes interval videos to guide you through your workouts.

“The Hotworx 3D Training experience provides an array of time-efficient benefits in every session”. People who struggle with stress and depression can benefit from increased blood circulation and oxygen flow, which also helps with mental clarity.
