Women owned HOTWORX at Costa Mesa Courtyards is owned and operated by Erica Graziosa, who keeps this top notch 24-hour infrared fitness studio spotless. I recently joined and I am already impressed by the variety of virtually instructed infrared sauna workouts. HOTWORX combines infrared heat with guided workouts inside personal sauna rooms. You can choose a quick 15-minute High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) session, such as Hot Cycle and Hot Thunder Row, or a 30-minute isometric workout, such as Hot Pilates, Hot Yoga, and Hot Barre (and many more) - Truly a detox, recovery, and exercise, all in one. Plus, there's a functional training area to complement your sauna workouts, featuring everything you need: free weights, kettle bells, a dip/pull up bar, workout bench, ropes, TRX bands, and more.
