- While exact calorie burn varies by individual, Hotworx’s infrared heat significantly accelerates calorie expenditure. It does this by driving deeper sweating, triggering a prolonged “afterburn” effect, and elevating heart rate, resulting in highly efficient workouts. You’ll experience a substantial increase in calorie burn compared to traditional exercise.
𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬:
* Craig and Danny are a dynamic duo that decided open hotworx after experiencing firsthand the transformative benefits of infrared workouts for managing chronic conditions. After corporate careers at Verizon, they wanted to start something that wanted to create a space in the community where people felt comfortable & could improve their health / well being. Having personable relationships with members is of utmost importance to them and sets them apart from the rest!
