HOTWORX - Modesto

Overview

• Brief description of the sauna/facility type

  • HOTWORX Modesto (Pelandale Ave) is an infrared sauna-based fitness studio that combines infrared heat and virtually instructed exercise sessions. The studio emphasizes short, intense workouts performed inside infrared saunas as well as a larger functional exercise zone (FX Zone).

• Overall atmosphere and experience

  • The facility targets busy adults (e.g., working professionals and parents) who want efficient, results-driven workouts. Sessions are small and focused (typically up to 3 members per session for sauna workouts), creating a semi-private, community-oriented environment. The model highlights convenience through virtually instructed workouts and 24-hour access to infrared sauna sessions.

Notes

• What makes this sauna special or different

  • The combination of infrared heat + virtually instructed exercise is the defining feature, designed to make workouts more efficient and provide benefits attributed to infrared energy (flexibility, detoxification, calorie burn).
  • Small-capacity sauna sessions (up to 3 members) provide a semi-private experience and consistent instruction without live instructors in the room.
  • The FX Zone complements sauna workouts so members can combine heat-based sessions with conventional functional training (weights, bands, ropes).
  • Tech integration via the Burn Off App and DietTrax enables tracking of calories burned and nutrition to support results.
  • The studio emphasizes convenience (24/7 access), community, and targeted programs (e.g., Hot Yoga, Hot Pilates, HIIT) catering to time-constrained users.

• Membership and offers

  • The studio promotes presale and limited discounted membership rates and encourages signing up for the VIP waiting list to secure lower rates and early access.
  • A complimentary introductory session is offered to local first-time guests, subject to restrictions and staffed-hour availability.
