HOTWORX - Grimes, IA — Local services in Grimes

I had a complimentary session at HOTWORX of Grimes. I had no idea what this was about. It’s. Only less than a half mile from my condo.

The session was a yoga warrior class. You go into the “sauna room” alone for yoga. (There are cycling classes that may include up to 3 cyclists.). I was in it alone. I got a good sweat going. The poses weren’t out of my league, so to speak. The monitors were higher up on the wall, that was the only thing that annoyed me a little bit as I had to keep looking up when laying down to see what I should do. Suggestion to put mini monitors below the other monitors so you can see.

After the class, there were a couple infomercials, so to speak , from the club personnel (in a recording that played on the screen after the session) on amenities , health supplements, etc.

Then there was even a plug from Hotworx’s CEO about the club. (Pls look him up… sorry the name escapes me, but he looks like what Spicoli from Fast times at ridgemont high may have looked like if he cleaned himself up, and got older and more mature about working, a surfer dude who had a great idea in HOTWORX and then - Shazam! - the idea took off due to quirky yet great results. )Lol

I did sign up. It was great to pay just $10 To try it out for 60 days. I did buy a very good yoga mat and towel too today there. All of my yoga mats keep disintegrating. It has the HOTWORX brand on it. And is a requirement of the club to have their brand of mat. If they didn’t need one, I probably wouldn’t have signed up. But I did - I’ll be able to bring the yoga mat to my “other” health club too. ( more on that in a bit…)

Pros: it’s a small, private setting. It’s affordable. It’s also open 24/7. They have classes at 7,8,9 and 10 pm!, besides other times of the day. It’s less than a half mile from my condo that I can walk or bike but hwy 141 is insane so maybe I won’t be able to.

Cons: I’m isolated and alone in the workout room. My life is like that anyways as I live alone and w f h in my condo too. While I always do work out alone, at least at my other health club, I see other people. I’ll be completely in my own world here as I always seem to be. so this will be, ) besides work), another activity I’ll be alone in lol. Also only time will tell but: if I have a weird allergic reaction to being in the sauna or infrared room over time, then I’ll know for sure within 60 days if I should continue. My other club has an outdoor pool for swimming but as time goes on, I’m just still in my own world and typically like to work out in the evening. But there’s no classes at night (very few) etc. I plan to alternate every other day at HOTWORX and the next day at my other club etc. until I can figure out what’s working or not. Etc.

Thx for reading! I’m excited to...

I’ve been going to HOTWORX in Grimes, Iowa, for over a year now, and I’ve had such an incredible experience! This past summer, I fell behind on my payments for a couple of months, but the staff went above and beyond to help me. I spoke with Emma about my situation, and she was super understanding. She contacted her manager, and within a few minutes, they called me back to let me know they’d waive the past amount I owed and get me signed up for a new membership at the same prorated rate I had before—with no late or nonmember fees.

The workouts are amazing, and the team at HOTWORX is top-notch. I can’t wait to get back into my routine, especially now that the winter is coming. Thanks so much to Emma and the team for making things so easy for me—truly awesome...

As a mother of four and trying to find the time to get a good workout in is sometimes hard, especially when you have kids in sports and you’re always on the road with them. Been going to HOTWORX for a while now and glad with how I can attend anytime on any day, Having access 24/7 is amazing, staff is so friendly and helpful all the time! I love how easy the app is to navigate to schedule a workout or two. The progress I’ve seen in myself with the weight loss and the motivation I have to want to get up and get a good workout in before work is amazing! I would recommend it to anyone who loves a quick...
