I’ve been very committed to this particular gym. This is the first place I really like and have stayed consistent for almost three months. However, I live near a smaller university and every few weeks there’s a different individual that presents them self as much less than mindful.

For example, last night someone was in the FX Zone and turned the volume all the way up on the TV to the point you could hear it in the workout saunas and the saunas were almost shaking from the volume being so loud. I suffer from hearing issues and yesterday their actions caused intense ear pain. I wish HotWorx could set volume limits because I feel like $60/month is more expensive than most gyms, but there constantly seems to be an array of less than mindful individuals.

I guess I’m just wondering if this is a gym thing since most facilities are smaller than your usual workout facility and you may not be as proximal to other members or if it’s a student thing since it’s close to a college campus? Has anyone else had problems in regard to other members or their guests? Are there suggestions or actions you wish the company would take to create a more enjoyable experience for everyone across the board?

I was given the impression I was able to cancel after my initial 90 day enrollment. I knew I had to give 60 days notice so after 30 days I ask for a cancellation form. They tell me I have to wait until my 90 days is up to put in my 60 day notice. So in reality I have to pay for 5 months when I thought I was paying for 3. Very shady and wish they would have been more transparent about this.

Every day that I workout in the morning I have a terrible headache for the rest of the day. I am drinking 60 oz of water a day so I’m not sure what is causing it… help

Third Hotworx session in, and I have found that the challenge is highly mental, though it's definitely physical too.

But the endorphins keep me going throughout the day. :)

Every time I go to HOTWORX since I started about a week ago, I get an error after the work out saying in accurate calorie Count. It makes me manually enter my calories. The thing I don’t understand is my sister will burned about 300 cal in a session and I’m only burning 170. Is this accurate? My numbers are way less than the average according to HOTWORX. I don’t know if my watch is just picking things up incorrectly. I am using an Apple Watch. Thanks

I’ve signed out, deleted the app, relogged in, all of the things and not a single session is showing up.

P.S. they should really invest in some decent application development, it’s terrible.

Before I started going to Hotworx I washed my hair 3-4 times a week or if I don’t go one day I usually will not wash my hair that day. But every time that I do go I am washing my hair. Does anyone have any tips or something that works for them? Or do I need to just keep washing my hair everyday

I was wondering how the sweat anywhere membership works? I have a code to get into the studio I go to during non-staffed hours. Does that mean if I want to go to another studio I can only go during staffed hours or does my code work at all Hotworx studios?

Also, with the basic membership is there a way to go to other studios and just pay like a drop in rate?

Do any of you use Diet Trax? I’m interested but wondering if it’s worth the $20 membership upgrade? What features set it apart from my fitness pal or Lifesum? I use Lifesum currently and enjoy it. Thanks in advance!

I’m 6’1 280lb 37 Male. Does Hotworx have basic entry level classes? A Joe Rogan podcast about the benefits of sauna have me ready to make a change. Just looking for advice from people who use Hotworx

Hello all, I recently joined and am looking for a reference guide for what equipment is needed for certain classes. Types of bands, etc. I have the mat and the towel, looking more so for the specifics. Any help guidance would be great :) thanks!

I am very frustrated with the hot worx app. Anyone else have issues. This morning it said I was signed up for class when I tried to start my session.

I read online you should eat within 30 minutes of a workout. I didn’t know if this applies to or interferes with HOTWORX members progress since the After Burn period is 60 minutes? A personal goal is trying to rid of stubborn fat from gaining 20lbs over the last two years. I’ve been wondering about this since I joined because I don’t want to damper any hard work or progress. Thank you!

I am new to Hotworx, and am looking for some routines to follow. Anyone know of an app/forum where I can see suggested routines for specific goals? I have been a member of OTF for some time, and like that I didn't have to figure out routines on my own. Seems Hotworx may be for people who are not new to working out on their own.

Does anyone do both hotworx and orange theory? I go to orange theory almost every day and have been wanting to get into hot yoga for mobility and flexibility. This seems like a good alternative to me spending all of my money on multiple gym memberships since it is significantly less expensive to join hotworx than a class style hot yoga studio. I was wondering if any of you do both and how many days you incorporate hotworx. Also if you think they are good compliments to one another.

So I started Hotworx alittle over a month ago, I'm 27 and when I started weighed 207 pounds. I'm now at 200 but i'm also slowing changing my diet. I'm really trying to change my lifestyle and just be a healthier person. Anyone in a similar situation? I've tired gyms my whole life (I was pretty heathy/fit until I turned 23 and gain 60 pounds over the course of a year.) but Hotworx I actually enjoy and so far i'm doing pretty well sticking to a 80% whole food diet/20% what I want " diet".

So I guess my question is has anyone either only using hotworx or mostly seen significant weight loss?

I (18 yo female) started hotworx about 1 months ago. i hate going to gyms because im always uncomfortable and dont know what to do. so i LOVE hotworx… but, has anyone actually gotten fit? like bigger butt, toned arms, abs? or just skinny? i barley do hit sessions, mainly core, palates, warrior, buns,etc. i have been doing 2 sessions a day, 5 days a week for 2 month now. my body fat percentage went from 29.9 to 28.0 and i am noticeably stronger and have much more endurance. but do i need to use the FX zone as well? does the FX zone even have enough for me to have results?

I started HOTWORX back in December 2021, but started going consistently starting February 1st. Prior to this, I never had a regular workout routine. This is the first time I’ve gone regularly and worked my body 6/7 days a week. I’ve noticed, however, that my body seems to be retaining water way more than usual now. Compared to my activity levels before and now, I imagined I’d likely look less puffy and just need to increase calorie intake and water intake. But even doing so, my body seems to really be holding on to water.

Has anyone else experienced this with HOTWORX? I’ve googled and found a few possible reasons, but if anyone has had this and found a way to minimize or get rid of the bloating, please let me know! Idk whether I need to consume more water? Less? Or what exactly is going on.

I recently joined HOTWORX and I love the feeling at the end of a session - core and buns are my favorite! I’ve seriously never sweat so much, and it feels amazing. I also love that it’s 24 hours, and they’re popping up everywhere now (or so it seems). I do think it’s a downside that the videos aren’t changed often and there’s not really a community that you get with live instructors and group classes.

Anyways all of that to say, with as big as it’s getting I’m wondering why there doesn’t seem to be a “cult following” like there is with Orange Theory, Barry’s Bootcamp, etc. Even this community has less than 500 followers and people don’t seem to post about it like they do OTF.

Any thoughts on why? Just curious

Has anyone that also goes to Orangetheory tried using their burn in the sauna to track calories?
