TL;DR
HOTWORX promotes stress relief through its infrared fitness workouts, which combine infrared heat with guided isometric and High-Intensity Interval Training sessions. The company's workouts aim to lower cortisol and stimulate the release of endorphins, improving mood and aiding in recovery.
HOTWORX’s signature workouts combine infrared heat with guided isometric and High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) sessions, creating a total mind-body experience. Research has shown that infrared heat therapy can significantly lower cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone, while stimulating the release of endorphins, which improve mood and aid in recovery. This unique combination helps members not only achieve their fitness goals but also support mental clarity and performance recovery.
“HOTWORX infrared sauna workouts aid in recovery by helping to balance cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone,” said Stephen Smith, Founder and CEO of HOTWORX. “The heat from the sauna promotes muscle recovery and alleviates tension, allowing you to de-stress and improve overall performance.”
HOTWORX recently launched the HotSquad feature within its Burn Off App, allowing members to schedule workouts alongside friends or family, track each other’s progress, and stay accountable, even from different cities. By fostering connection and motivation, HotSquad enhances workout consistency while combating feelings of isolation, a key factor in stress management.
While Stress Awareness Month serves as an important reminder, HOTWORX is dedicated to promoting total-body wellness year-round. By combining cutting-edge infrared fitness technology, innovative app features like HotSquad and DIETTRAX, and a strong community focus, HOTWORX empowers members to prioritize self-care every day.
