Parents: No time to workout? 3 Reasons to join my favorite gym!

HOTWORX! Heard of it?

It’s a workout inside an infrared sauna. Sound terrible?

You’re looking at all WRONG!

Hear me out. Here’s why I think you should consider checking them out in your city! (‘Cause they are popping up EVERYWHERE)

1. Their tag line is “More workout in less time”, and they mean it. You can get an amazing workout in as little as 15 minutes following a virtual instructor. These are HIIT workouts including cycle, ellipti-cycle, and rowing. Isometric workouts are a little longer (35-40 min) and include yoga, pilates, barre none and a slew of other class options. With workouts available every 15 minutes (…did I mention members have 24 hour access?), I have no excuses for not squeezing in a workout at least a few times a week. PRO TIP: Use the app to prebook your appointment up to 2 days in advance!

2. You’ll sweat buckets. Like, for real, buckets. This workout is challenging already, but the heat and infrared make it next level. Even if I can’t complete all the exercises in a class (which often I can’t hang and chill in Child’s pose), I still finish feeling like an accomplished athlete. PRO TIP: Seems obvious, but you’ll need to bring water. Lots of it. I have a ginormous water bottle that I down and usually complete by the time my workout ends.

3. Every ISO workout includes foam roller work, and if you’re like me, I reluctantly use one only when I’m told (even though alas, I know thy benefits)… But it’s an amazing few minutes that allow my muscles to weep tears of joy when we’re done. And when you have a few moments to slow your heart and breath back down, you’ll walk out feeling like the rock star that you are. You’ll feel revived and refreshed. Your skin will look and feel renewed. And you’ll have more energy and strength to guide and care for all the important things in your life, because you’ll have taken care of YOU! PRO TIP: You’ll also need to shower!

High Five if you are still reading because I’m about to tell you the best part! All that logging of classes equals calories burned in the HOTWORX app which earns you FREE merch, and a chance to compete on the leaderboard with other members. Maybe it’s just me, but a little competition always fuels my motivation!

This is not a sponsored or solicited post, I just love the HOTWORX workout model and want to share my experience so it might help others find their workout jam, too! Your first workout is free at any location, and you can search for a location near you, here.

So put on Yogi Squad’s on-demand kids yoga videos, hire a babysitter and take the time for yourself. YOU TOTALLY DESERVE IT! Now go get ‘em, Tiger!
