HOTWORX, a 24-hour infrared fitness studio, is opening a State College location, per its Instagram. The 2021 S. Atherton St. location expects to open near the end of May, pending a certificate of occupancy.

HOTWORX is a national chain that provides 30-minute workouts in small, enclosed heated spaces. The gym uses infrared heat and gives its clients virtual workouts to use in the sauna space, ranging from 15-30 minutes. Workouts include isometric and HIIT work.

The gym will also include a functional work zone for clients to use in between time spent in the saunas. The space will include bands, weights, ropes, and other necessary equipment.

While HOTWORX will run 24 hours a day, it will be staffed from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Per its Instagram, the State College location is hiring for part-time positions.
