HOTWORX - Maple Grove, MN - The Grove

HOTWORX - Maple Grove is a 24-hour infrared fitness studio where gym members primarily engage in virtually instructed workouts within private infrared sauna rooms. The spacious and clean saunas provide a comfortable environment for sessions. Many members report significant recovery benefits, specifically noting that working out in the infrared heat reduces muscle soreness and prevents pain, allowing for more effective workouts in less time. The studio offers a variety of infrared sauna workouts, including 15-minute High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and 30-minute isometric sessions such as Hot Pilates, Hot Yoga, Hot Barre, Hot Core, Hot Cycle, and Hot Blast.

Beyond the sauna experience, the gym provides access to additional workout equipment. Members can use a selection of hand weights and other gym equipment to augment their routines, though some note that following the videos with full integrity may require purchasing personal gear like resistance bands, gloves, a bike seat, a mat, and a towel. The facility layout is well-designed and generally well-maintained. However, members have reported ongoing issues with specific workout machines, such as the rowers, being broken or malfunctioning for extended periods. Customer service experiences are mixed, with some members praising friendly and helpful staff during visits, while others report difficulties with cancellation policies, billing errors, and unreliable staff presence during advertised hours.
