Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Kelly Janke. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Kelly, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you share a story about the kindest thing someone has done for you and why it mattered so much or was so meaningful to you?

One of my Founding Members who joined the studio very early on brought me a beautiful bouquet of flowers. She was a college student at ASU with her sights set on law school, and for the next year and a half, she was a dedicated member. Even after she graduated and moved across the country for law school, we stayed in touch on social media.

After her first year of law school, she returned to Scottsdale for a brief visit. During her precious time back home, she made a point to visit me at the studio, bringing me flowers and telling me how much she missed our community. I was profoundly moved. Her gesture of kindness was unforgettable and that speaks to the deeper connections we build here. A year later, I’m still touched by her effort and thoughtfulness. Thank you JT!

Kelly, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

As a former professional pairs ice skater and coach, I’ve always prioritized a healthy lifestyle. However, my time on the ice also came with a lot of sports-related injuries, surgeries, and broken bones, etc. I’m very familiar with the rehabilitation process and noticed a distinct difference in range of motion and pain reduction my first time at HOTWORX. It is an understatement when I say rehabilitation was made much faster and easier with use of HOTWORX and movement in an infrared sauna.

Following one of my most difficult surgeries, a biceps and rotator cuff tear repair, I was unable to do my usual Reformer Pilates for a long time to come and was non-mobile in a bolster/sling for eight weeks after surgery. I was living with constant pain, feeling like I was in a vice 24/7. Looking for a way to stay active, I decided to try HOTWORX. From what I learned before I got there, I was ready to join before I even did my first session, and did just that!

Fifteen minutes into my workout, I had a remarkable realization: I’d completely forgotten about my shoulder pain. The mental and physical relief was incredible. That day, I went directly from my HOTWORX session to physical therapy. My physical therapist was astonished with my improved starting motion measurements. He wanted to know what I had done differently since my last visit two days prior and told me that my range of motion had improved from 65 degrees to 100 degrees. For my type of surgery, six weeks postop, that kind of progress was nearly impossible. The immediate, tangible effects of this innovative workout were so powerful that I knew I had to be a part of it.

That very night, I told my husband we needed to open our own HOTWORX studio. Having owned Elite Transcription for 24 years, I already had a solid understanding of the medical field, but I dove deep into researching infrared technology. The beneficial results I found were undeniable and the high percentage in reduction of risk of developing life-threatening diseases was staggering. I became convinced that everyone should have regular infrared exposure. This personal experience along with the medical and scientific research made the decision to become a franchisee easy. So we forged ahead and opened the 5th HOTWORX studio in the Valley.

The Unique Benefits of Infrared Workouts

The benefits of infrared are undeniable and can significantly impact your health in a positive way with as little as 15 minute exposure 3 times a week. Regular infrared exposure can:

* **Reduce the risk of heart disease** by 50% or more.
* **Lower the risk of Alzheimer’s and other dementias** by up to 66%.
* **Boost collagen and elastin production** for healthier skin.
* **Increase the production of** white blood cells, brain cells, human growth hormone, and serotonin.
* **Provide a deeper detox** through “fat sweat,” which contains 7-8 times more toxins than the “water sweat” produced in traditional heated workouts like hot yoga.

What sets HOTWORX apart is its patented technology. We are the only place where you can work out inside an infrared sauna. You need to be within one to three feet of an infrared source to receive its full benefits. Other studios that use infrared panels on walls and ceilings are simply using them as a method for heating the space, not for targeted therapeutic benefits.

Additionally, our studio is designed for convenience and flexibility:

* **24/7 Access:** Our members can work out anytime, day or night, 365 days a year.
* **No Cancellation Fees:** Book and cancel sessions easily through our app without any penalty.
* **More Workout in Less Time:** Our high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions are only 15 minutes, and our isometric sessions are 30 minutes. The infrared energy increases your core body temperature, causing you to burn calories for 60-90 minutes after your workout is over.

Beyond the groundbreaking technology and health benefits, one of the most remarkable things about HOTWORX is its accessibility. With membership options starting at just $59 a month, you get unlimited 24/7 access to infrared workouts. This isn’t just an incredible price for the benefits alone; it also includes our patented HIIT equipment, like Hot Thunder and Hot Blast, as well as guidance from our team of certified Virtual Personal Trainers. It’s an unbeatable value that makes a healthy lifestyle within reach for everyone.

We are truly one-of-a-kind. No one else can do what we do at HOTWORX. I am incredibly proud to be part of this brand and my goal is to help as many people as possible.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

While many businesses were closing their doors in 2020, we decided to start building out our location, opening our doors in 2021. Starting a new business during a pandemic seemed crazy, but we saw it as more essential than ever. With the world focused on health and wellness, the extensive benefits of HOTWORX was a perfect fit. Driven by a passion to share this unique fitness brand I believed in, made the risk worth it. Now, 5 1/2 years after starting the initial journey, we are getting ready to celebrate our 4th birthday. It hasn’t been easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is.
