Hot Pilates

 What do you look for in a workout class or organization? Do you like Hot Pilates? I have tried Hotworx hot pilates a few times now and have created some pros and cons that I have gathered from the 45 minute class. The first thing I noticed about hot pilates is it is extremely hot because of the saunas Hotworx uses. I would not consider it being hot a con though because it allows you to get in a good sweat and feel accomplished after you are done. One con that I did notice while taking the class was that it is the same class and instructor each time, so I have started to memorize the movements throughout the workout. On the other hand, I really enjoyed hot pilates because there are three different modifications: beginner, intermediate, and advanced all within the same class. Having the three modifications all together makes the class super fun because you can go with friends even if they are more advanced than you. During the class, you are in a sauna with yourself and maybe one other person. In the sauna, there is a tv that has the virtual instructor taking you through the 45 minute hot pilates class. While this seems like it could be a waste of money, I think it is beneficial because it allows for multiple time options for the class and it allows you to feel at peace while taking the class instead of being anxious of your surroundings and how you are doing compared to everyone. After the class is over, you are guided through a virtual cool down where you use a foam roller to roll out everything you just worked on during the pilates class. Overall, I think hot pilates is very beneficial and allows you to feel better about yourself in the end.

Weighted Workout

  Do you find yourself struggling to find a gym as a college student? As a college student myself, I have experienced this same conflict. I have experienced this problem because I have lived in a sorority house for two years with no gym. It has been a constant struggle to find a consistent gym that is convenient within my schedule until I found Hotworx. I have always known Hotworx to be a virtual led class similar to the aerobics classes we studied in class that takes place in an infrared sauna, but until I stepped into the facility I had no idea about their free weight section.  When you walk into the Hotworx building, you automatically see 12 saunas lining the walls and a bright section in the open filled with mirrors with motivational writing, orange weights with their fire shaped logo, and popular music playing. There are multiple reasons why Hotworx is convenient and checks every box on my list. One reason Hotworx is efficient for me is because they have a 24 hour free we...

The Female Eye

  Have you ever taken a step back and observed the difference between what captures a female and male's attention? I have not until I observed the difference between Hotworx and your normal gym. As we all know, a normal gym consists of the basic gym aesthetic such as dark colors, upbeat music, and an overly crowded environment. On the other hand, Hotworx is very far from reaching this aesthetic. Hotworx is very clean, bright, less crowded, and is playing your typical popular songs. From the very beginning of comparing this company to any gym, I automatically realized their target audience is women. I gathered this assumption because of their bright colors, dainty fire logo, and clean, calm atmosphere that most women would lean towards. Another reason why I gathered this opinion is when I ran a visual analysis between the two organizations. Your typical gym is usually loud, crowded, cluttered, and masculine due to the black weights, and dark floors. However, Hotworx is very feminine...
