HOTWORX - Omaha

I visited this fitness facility on a Saturday but waited until Monday to use my free pass. Once you sign the waiver, you are ushered into a small room with equipment or mat space. I chose to go with the spin bikes. The staffers are not trained to answer questions regarding Exercise Science and go by a memorized script. The class is only 13 minutes long and I just assumed from Saturday's tour they were 30 minutes. There are no adequate spaces to hang up jackets per space, cubby boxes are not large enough to fit thick jackets. There are only 2 restrooms and no locker room space to change clothes. The video workout did not provide adequate instruction for various fitness levels or proper encouragement in my opinion. There was no warm up period when the bike ride instruction started. The first thing the video instructor wanted you to do was to place a large resistance on the bike, get up off the bike seat and start pedaling hard. When I asked the staff member about this, she repeated what was told to her that a warm up is unnecessary since the room is 130 degrees which is supposed to instantly warm up your muscles. I let her know that's not what happens when describing human physiology. The superficial blood vessels dilate, bringing blood to your skin and not to the gross skeletal muscles such as the glutes and quads that require this valuable blood to help ride up these hills. I think I caught her off-guard and she realized I wasn't going to sign up for a membership.Dry heat exercise can be helpful if you take special precautions such as warming up before your session. Static stretching is not a warm up. I would suggest going to the free weight area and performing lunges or body squats 5 minutes before your activity. Also, hyper hydrate with only cold water and drink cold water during your 13 minute session, regardless of what the staff members or video instructors tell you when to drink. I wish the video instructors would be certified by The American College of Sports Medicine which would greatly provide instant credibility especially when dealing with many clients of all fitness levels and any medical predisposition. Lastly, the video should always provide the opportunity to stop or slow down if experiencing specific symptoms during your activity.

I love this location and the staff is so friendly and welcoming! I instantly felt comfortable going and love that I can go anytime that works for my schedule but still get the instructor/class experience!

Have tried this place in a couple different cities and have been patiently waiting for one to come to Omaha. One of the best workouts I have ever done, working out in the infrared sauna adds another dimension to my workouts that I didn't know I was missing. Many options from Hot Yoga, Hot Cycle, and numerous other HIIT and ISO workouts. Would definitely recommend.

Compelling . . just signed up . . if you want to go month to month then its 99 or 3 month plus a month notice in cancelling is 59. Its not a year contract and it seems possible to get in and out in a short amount of time with out much fuss for a work out. I haven't tried all the programs yet but the concept is compelling and its weird enough to keep my interest through the winter. Clean. 24/7 option. Quick Cardio. Quick Yoga.

This is the cleanest facility i have ever worked out in. The staff cares so much about the environment of the clients- the make sure they clean everything and always make sure any questions you have are answered. The infrared saunas are incredible! You need to try it :)

I signed up in March because this is one of the few workout places that could stay open during Covid due to the fact they can limit 1 person to a room at a time. It is a different type of workout then I am used to, and I like that! The staff, especially Grace is very friendly and helpful. I am a little surprised by the review stating that it is hard to cancel. They have always been cheerful, welcoming and helpful with any questions or concerns I have had. I highly recommend.

In 2021, I kept telling my co worker that we needed to look for a workout place to try to relieve some of our work stress. In June, 2022, when she was out of town, I stopped by HotWorx West Omaha (192nd & Pacific) since it was close to work. I was intrigued by the short classes as it had been a while since I had been to an exercise class.I started out with a cardio class (start every 15 minutes) and I was hooked. I always have loved the heat (am a huge fan of Bikram yoga), so to be able to exercise in a sauna was/is great for me. Now to inform my co worker. On her first day back, I had gone to a class over lunch, and when I came back, she noticed I had taken a shower and that my face was kind of red. Her question was... did you go work out, to which I responded - YEP!! She went the next day with me and we have been going ever since.She is more of an all cardio person, whereas I like to mix it up! It also helps that the studio has challenges which "make" us do certain classes in order to get points.Leanna, the manager, is so friendly and so helpful! I am so glad I stopped in to try it as now it has become a habit! Love it!!

This company operates a highly anti- consumer subscription model that is against multiple consumer protection guidelines and regulations. (set by banks and card processors)If you sign up with them and no longer wish to use their MONTH TO MONTH service - they will charge you 2 months and $99. If they do this you have the ability to dispute these charges under the FCBA (Regulation Z) guidelines related to subscription charges. My bank returned all funds back to me because of the blatantly unethical business practices.EDIT: Also asking consumers to come in and cancel a recurring charge on a credit card violates merchant processing regulations with Mastercard and Visa (which is part of the reason I won). Don't give in to those bully tactics. Ask for an email - send the email to cancel and keep it for your records.

HOTWORX is the best workout I've ever experienced! I feel amazing and love they are 24 hours. Very helpful!

Grace set us up with an Incredible workout!! The whole place was clean, professional, and the Core workout was so good. I love how short and effective the sessions are, but you also stack the workouts. We will be back!
