HOTWORX - Walla Walla, WA - Rose St.

This 24-hour infrared fitness studio provides gym members with access to virtually instructed workouts within private infrared sauna rooms. The core experience revolves around exercising in the infrared heat, which members describe as making them feel exceptionally good and deeply energized post-workout. The sauna facilities are consistently noted for their cleanliness. The workouts, including Hot Yoga, Hot Pilates, Hot Core, and High-Intensity Interval Training sessions, are designed to leverage the infrared energy, with many members highlighting how the hot yoga and stretching effectively complement their external training. While the infrared sauna experience is a major draw, some members express a desire for a traditional sauna operating at a higher temperature for passive sitting, as well as cold plunge facilities for contrast therapy, which are not currently offered.

Beyond the sauna workouts, the gym is praised for its exceptional flexibility, owing to 24/7 access that allows members to fit sessions into any schedule. The staff receives consistent acclaim for being friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The atmosphere is described as comfortable, encouraging, and motivating, with a nice and respectful community of members, even during unstaffed hours. The setup allows for individual or small group sessions, as the infrared sauna boxes can accommodate up to three people, making it easy to workout with friends. Members report effective results, from weight loss to an overall great feeling, and appreciate the convenience of quick, 15 or 30-minute sessions that can be easily scheduled back-to-back for a longer workout.
