Working long days and nights I just gave up hope that I would find a place to practice yoga with my schedule. I’m a mother who works FT, OT, weekends and evenings. It’s not always easy trying to novitiate myself to go to the yoga classes with limited times. At HOTWORX I feel like I have found something that is completely flexible and available when I want to go. My only gripe is that you have to buy their yoga mat and towel. I understand it’s because other brands can melt. However, having experience with yoga, teaching classes and trying other brands I have learned that a good quality yoga mat is essential for me. I have spent a pretty penny on my yoga mat. The one that HOTWORKS provides is so thin that I can feel the boards and the spaces between them. I’m working toward purchasing another mat or two. I’m hoping layering them will provide more support for my knees. HOTWORX please find a better mat. I would happily pay a fair price for a better quality mat.

I’ve been a member since 2020 at 2 different studios. The workouts are great and I may just be a lifetime member! They really are addicting. I have never wanted to work out more than while a member at Hotworx🔥. It’s a 24 hour gym with HIIT and isometric workouts - all while in an infrared sauna (for 3). Now, I would not recommend 3 ppl it barely fits 2. And you SWEAT. 💦 I’ve been able to lose fat, tone muscle, and increase energy levels. I feel healthier physically and mentally. You also continue to burn calories an hour after your workout (called After burn). Now to the App. I have gone through the different App updates. It’s nice to see they’re trying to work on getting the App to work properly - However.. it continues to be buggy. While it’s gotten better at not freezing and actually connects to my Apple Watch recording my workouts. It still seems to stop recording on my Apple Watch before my workout ends and then erases all my workouts on the app itself. I am then unable to find my workouts or continue to record the After burn. It also deletes any upcoming classes and says I have no upcoming classes. When I try to schedule it says I cannot since I have a schedule conflict (I’m assuming it still sees I have the upcoming class scheduled). Very frustrating! Please hire a solid coder to get this fixed! I’m assuming with all the Hotworx popping up you’re collecting enough franchise fees to hire a qualified developer!

This review is for the app itself. As a Hotworx member I find that it’s not very user friendly and could use some updates. Scheduled appointments should be visible and accessible right from the Home Screen. Instead you need to go into “book appointments>and press continue” in order to view what you previously scheduled. Just too many unnecessary steps for someone trying to quickly access what appointments they have and start the workout from there. This gym prides itself on getting more workout in in a shorter amount of time but I constantly find myself wasting time fumbling around the app trying to get to my sessions. Additionally, after you complete a session it asks if you would like to record your calories….this is an annoying question and should automatically record the calories burned. If you don’t agree it won’t log them. As a user why wouldn’t I want to record my calories if I’m using the app? Then to top it off you can’t schedule new appointments while in the “after burn” mode. You have to wait a full 60 mins for that to finish before you can navigate to any other part of the app or else it will ask if you if you want to quit after burn or continue. Just so many little annoying things that again waste more time than needed.
