Absolutely love this Hotworx studio. I was looking for a more affordable option for hot yoga and…read morehot pilates and this one definitely nailed it. I love the 24/7 accessibility and the ability to usually have your own sauna. With that being said, I do have some recommendations or things to keep in mind: -I wish the saunas were bigger! They say that it's big enough for 3, but 2 is definitely cramped in the saunas. -The saunas are not built for tall people. I am 5'4 and lay down all the way across the sauna (facing the instructors) -The classes do not vary that much. They are supposed to change every month but I notice some do not change or if they do, the variations are not that different.

As a former athlete and lifter, getting back into a consistent workout routine has felt…read moreintimidating--until I found HOTWORX Santee. This place has made the transition so much smoother for me, both physically and mentally. What I love most is the flexibility. It's open 24 hours, which is a huge deal as a busy mom. I can come in early in the morning or late at night, depending on what my day looks like. The system they use to keep the studio secure makes me feel really safe--entry is code-based and the doors stay locked, which gives peace of mind during early morning or late night sessions. The workouts themselves are incredible. The infrared sauna element adds a detoxing benefit that I genuinely feel. When I stay consistent, I notice a big difference: less pain and inflammation, improved flexibility, better posture, more energy, and a clearer mind overall. I also love that they have a dedicated weightlifting area! They offer a variety of free weights up to 50 pounds, a TRX setup, and a cable machine that allows for a full range of exercises. Being able to combine the benefits of infrared workouts with traditional strength training in the same visit has been a game changer for me. The studio is always very clean and well maintained, and I really appreciate that it's not overcrowded. Sure, there are peak times like any gym, but it's generally easy to get in, out, and book a session without stress. The staff is also amazing--always kind, helpful, and welcoming. You can tell they care about the environment and the people coming in. If you're looking for a unique, safe, and effective workout space that works with your lifestyle, I can't recommend HOTWORX Santee enough!

I started on Zepbound in December 2024 and a year later had achieved some success with it, having…read morelost 30 pounds. However, it seemed I was on a plateau when I learned about Kari's GLP-1 Strong program. While prescribed by my PCP, I had always felt there wasn't much structure other than take this every week and watch the pounds melt away. While this is all good, I wanted a plan to progress more quickly and to utilize once off the medication. I cannot say enough good things about this 12-week program and Kari's knowledge on fitness and nutrition. Kari customizes her plans for each individual and focuses on accountability, consistency, and behaviors to focus on. I am an additional 12 pounds down and have gained the strength and confidence to finish my journey, including after stopping the jab. I will most likely sign up again during this transition.

I started working with Kari in December 2022, originally to lose weight for my wedding. I was…read morefeeling stuck, out of shape, and unsure how to actually get results without burning out. Spoiler alert: this wasn't just a wedding prep plan, it turned into a total lifestyle shift. The first year wasn't perfect (life happens...hello, wine nights and takeout!), but Kari never judged or gave up on me. Instead, she helped me reset, get real about my goals, and build habits that actually worked. By my wedding in June 2024, I was down 40 lbs and 10% body fat and I felt strong, confident, and truly proud of how I looked and felt walking down the aisle. Since then, we've shifted to strength, mindset, and maintenance and let me tell you, that's been just as empowering. I've learned how to stay consistent, lift heavier, eat more without guilt, and care about so much more than just the scale. Working with Kari isn't just about macros and workouts (though those are dialed in); it's about learning how to show up for yourself even when life gets messy. I cannot recommend her enough if you're ready for change that actually lasts.

I have had to take a week (sometimes weeks) off and always feel a little sheepish about "re-starting" but Chyna is always so encouraging and gives you the confidence to be the healthiest/fittest YOU you want to be. There is no one better at reading your mood the moment you walk through the door and cultivating the most perfect work out to help get the nervous jitters out, help you fight a punching bag to get your anger out, or just move your body to help you fight whatever demons are plaguing you. Not only is Chyna a fantastic trainer but she is also a phenomenal person. She is a cancer survivor and cares so much about all her clients and I have built such a community in her gym. Thank you Chyna for everything and if you are looking for your perfect/welcoming/non-judgemental gym place, you can stop searching: It's at GI Joe's in Santee. Could not recommend this place MOREEEE

You can work out anywhere as there are plenty of other options out there, but you won't find a staff of this caliber! I also love the set up here and arrangement of equipment. You don't have all the cardio machines facing the front door. Also, they keep it pretty clean and organized. I just hope corporate recognizes the superstars they have running this location!

The workouts are…read moreconsistently challenging, with a great mix of traditional strength training, cardio, plyometrics, and more. Each class is 45 minutes, typically divided into 3-4 stations, so there's always something different. The trainers here are incredible--they motivate and push you to reach your potential. They're also great at modifying exercises if you're injured, sore, or need an easier alternative. I recommend arriving about 5 minutes early to stretch and get set up. One of the best things about a membership is that you can visit all the other NXPT locations. While I haven't been to them yet, I like knowing they offer classes like spin and yoga. You sign up for any class through the NXPT app. The community is welcoming to everyone, regardless of fitness level. You'll feel right at home whether you're new to working out or an experienced athlete. They also offer fantastic deals, like 10 days for $10 (if you're new that's the best deal to start), and couple packages. As of September 2024, the Santee location has classes at 4:30 AM, 5:30 AM, 7 AM, 8 AM, 9 AM, 3 PM, 4:30 PM, and 5:30 PM. Fridays don't have the 5:30 PM class, and on Saturdays, there are two classes: 7 AM and 8 AM. Pro tip: The wifi password is 'khaleesi' (no quotes). If you're looking for a friendly, challenging fitness community, I highly recommend NXPT!

Working with her has been one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself. She has pushed me in ways I didn't know I needed, but always with compassion, encouragement, and deep understanding. She pays attention to form, mindset, and personal goals. My confidence has grown so much over the past year. I feel stronger, more capable and doubt myself far less then I did before in many ways. If you're looking for a trainer who truly cares, knows her stuff, and a gym that feels fun and motivating then you found it. Highly, highly recommend!

Whether you have been working out for years or you are new, she welcomes all with open arms. She focuses on each individuals goals and caters your training with your specific goal in mind. I began in July and Lindsey and the community in this gym have truly changed my life and pushed me to be more confident in my skin, believe in myself more and have taught me that I am so much stronger and capable than I think I am. She creates long lasting healthy habits that are realistic. She truly cares so much about the people that enter her gym and you become apart of the Underground Fitness family. I'm so happy I found this community. I couldn't recommend a better gym to start your personal training journey!!!

Tamra 'also' takes responsibility and ownership of every one of her clients. She puts 110% into every one of her clients. She feels that her clients are a representation of her abilities. It's impressive to see.

He is very good at rotating in different exercises or adding variations to popular exercises to improve the results. I have been working out with him for about 10 weeks now and I have already noticed significant results. Dennis is also very understanding if you have an existing injury and need to modify your workout. Shortly after starting to workout with Dennis I hurt my shoulder playing softball. Dennis helped modify my routine so I could still workout my upper body but avoid aggravating my shoulder injury. Ultimately anyone can go to a big gym and do the same workout over and over with their trainers as they try to sell you supplements and check out other people. The advantage you get when doing personal training with Dennis is the one on one attention he gives you, it is second to none.
