Hot Athlete

Pour the heat on in this workout designed for the whole athlete.  This wicked workout incorporating mobility, strength, amped up cardio, flexibility and core, in conjunction with the therapeutic effects of 100-degrees of infrared heat, creates a total body reset that will make you feel strong, loose, and long. 

Why Try Hot Athlete? 

This class contains everything EVERY athlete needs: mobility, strength, cardio, core, and flexibility, all in just 45 minutes! The 100-degree studio reduces inflammation, increases joint and muscle flexibility, and allows detoxification of the entire body.  You’ll walk out feeling energized and ready to take on whatever life throws your way. 

What Is Hot Athlete Like? 

Hot Athlete rolls like a roller coaster, with 8 minutes per fitness modality:  mobility and strength prepare the body, then the amped segment creates the peak intensity of the class.  Core work and flexibility settle the body back down to complete this centered, well-rounded workout.  

Who Are Hot Program Classes Best For? 

Every program in the Hot Stuff studio is designed to meet every participant where they are, whether someone is new to exercise or a fitness pro. Every exercise has level options that leave participants feeling challenged but successful. The formats are fiercely fun, reliable workouts, each taught by a different rockstar instructor!  

Is Hot Athlete a Good Workout? 

Hot Athlete fits the bill for any athlete looking to round out their fitness routine.  Each 8-minute segment contains 4 exercises with 2 level options each, which allows participants to decide what works best in their bodies: if they’re challenged by the first option, they can stay for the second round. Otherwise, stoke the fire further with the instructor’s level option to amp up your athletic prowess! 

How Difficult is Hot Athlete? 

7/10.  This class is moderately intense, especially during the Amped cardio segment, but the addition of the 100-degree heat turns this class into a sweatfest from start to finish!  Exercises are easy to follow, and level options allow participants to choose their own athletic adventure! 

How Long Is Each Class? 

Hot Athlete is 45 minutes of 5 fitness modalities, each 8 minutes long.  After a general warm-up, we’ll move into Mobility, build muscle in Strength, Amp up our cardio, carve our Core, and find Flexibility.   

What Should I Wear? 

Sweat-wicking fabrics are your friend for Hot Athlete or any program in the Hot Stuff studio. 100 degrees of infrared heat gently heat your skin, not the air temperature, allowing the natural level of humidity in the room (about 40%).  Clothes that fit to your body work best to avoid a shirt going over your head in some of the exercises. As always, cover your business. 

All programs in the Hot Studio are performed barefoot, so wear shoes that are easy to pop off and drop in a cubby outside the studio just before walking in. This will help keep our floors clean and bacteria-free, which is important, since that’s where your face will be! 

You might consider bringing an extra towel and a change of clothes so you can pop in the shower after class so you can leave the gym clean and dry, without feeling soggy. 

What Do I Need to Bring? 

Bring your own mat to any program in the Hot Stuff studio. In addition, a mat towel to absorb sweat to prevent slipping is key. A hand towel might come in handy to quickly wipe down your face and arms in the middle of class as well. 

Hydration should be top of mind, so bring a water bottle containing electrolytes to help replenish the minerals your body loses while sweating.
