HOTWORX - Gainesville

Overview

• Facility type: HOTWORX infrared sauna fitness studio offering virtually-instructed workouts inside patented infrared saunas.
• Brief description: A boutique, studio-style fitness facility that fuses heat, infrared energy, and exercise for efficient, high-impact workouts. The studio emphasizes short, focused sessions that combine cardio, strength, isometric and flexibility training inside heated infrared sauna rooms.
• Overall atmosphere and experience: Designed for convenience and results — 24/7 member access to virtually-instructed sessions with limited staffed hours. Sessions are short (15–30 minutes), high-energy or restorative, and performed in small group settings (often up to 3 members per sauna session), giving a private, focused experience rather than a traditional gym environment.
