From the reviews

Since going to hotworx, my physique, attitude, and overall health have greatly improved! I am an athlete myself and hotworx has been the best thing I could possibly do for myself and Muay Thai. No other studio around the area is like hotworx! Truly a one of a kind workout and experience.

★★★★★ — Jenna, Nov 2024

I thoroughly enjoy working out but Hotworx. I can choose the classes I want to take and when I can take them. If something comes up and my schedule changes it's easy to make an adjustment. The staff is wonderful, especially Jacob! He is the absolute best! They truly care about the facility and their members.

★★★★★ — Kelly, Oct 2021

I signed up for a prepaid 3 month membership to see if I would actually use it and if I like it and I do! Sometimes I do the workouts and sometimes I just meditate in the saunas. I had a Y membership before, but here I have weights, cardio, yoga, etc AND the added sauna & 24 hr access.

★★★★★ — Sara, Dec 2025

I just started a membership at hotworx and I love it! I love the classes and the guidance since I am someone who needs help to know where to go, and I love the privacy in each room. The heat makes me feel like I am doing more during my workouts and the staff is so nice and welcoming!

Your first barre class at HOTWORX Portage - Portage, MI - Crossroads Galleria

New to barre? Almost everyone is their first time, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: barre blends small isometric holds and tiny pulses at a ballet barre with light weights and mat work — it's low-impact and joint-friendly, but it works muscles you didn't know you had, so a little shaking in your legs is the point, not a problem. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: fitted leggings and a top you can move in — nothing baggy, so the instructor can see your form. Grip socks: most barre studios require grip socks — bring a pair or check whether they sell them at the front desk; the grippy soles keep you steady during the pulses. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Barre is low-impact, so it suits most bodies and fitness levels — but if you're pregnant or working around an injury, check with a doctor and let your instructor know so they can offer modifications.
