Calling all my busy girls! HOTWORX is a 24/7 fitness centre located in South Yarra that combines the benefits of infrared heat absorption with virtually instructed exercise programs for a quick and intensive workout. The 30-minute workouts (including hot yoga and pilates) and 15-minute HIIT sessions use infrared heat to stimulate sweat which accelerates detoxification- meaning you only need a short workout to see the benefits!
