I am a yoga teacher that has been teaching for 3 years but I’ve been practicing for 10. I used to dance both in high school and college in ballet, modern, African, and tap. I also have a background in acting. Yoga is a serious passion of mine and I work in a studio but I also host private lessons for college-level and professional athletes. I have traveled extensively and know how to talk to people. I think this would translate well in my Virtual Instructor workouts also.

I want to touch more lives through my fitness work. I feel it has become a calling of mine to be a representative of my demographic and pull women of all ages, body types and backgrounds to yoga and fitness. I have many clients ready to go on record sharing how much I helped them grow, heal, and inspire them for change. I want a bigger platform to showcase my voice and my mission aligns with the HOTWORX brand.

The drive of just getting started on something and wanting to continue to grow is where my mindset is at. Being a Virtual Instructor for this past year, I was proud of what I had accomplished but I also know there is another layer I can get at. What HOTWORX brings to the entire fitness community is huge and I can see it making waves daily! That is a wave I want to continue to ride and with that I know is growth, personally. I have my laundry list of areas I want to continue to work on and to be able to reach out to more members. The drive that is bringing me back for the possibility of year 2 is the members who come in for the consistency, who come in for the heat, and who come in with a goal of theirs. If I can continue to push them on a global level that is HOTWORX, then that is what drives me to continue my journey as a fitness instructor and as part of the HOTWORX family.

I am a 200 Hour certified power vinyasa yoga instructor and fitness/wellness enthusiast. I currently teach at CorePower Yoga, along with teaching private clients, and for an amazing company who hosts yoga classes for bachelorette parties and bridal groups, allowing me to work with so many different people! I have been practicing yoga since 2018 and it has been a transformational healing experience that I am forever grateful for. I am in a 300 hour yoga teacher training currently with Core Power Yoga and I love the ability to deepen my knowledge, passion, and desire for this practice. I yoga for healing, expansion, and connection to my mind, body, and spirit.

My word for the year is courage and this is allowing me to step outside of my comfort zone and go for it! HOTWORX helped me through a really challenging time in my life. Almost three years ago, I was in a car accident that resulted in multiple injuries. I have been consistent in my fitness journey for close to fifteen years and with the accident, it truly limited my mobility and my life. HOTWORX was the first place I went after being cleared by my physical therapist due to the infrared benefits, sauna, and the ability to take it at my own pace while having guidance through the Virtual Instructors. I broke both of my ankles, five ribs, and dislocated my right elbow. I was so intimidated to step back into a gym. HOTWORX allowed me to gain back the confidence and strength to keep pushing forward to get back to where I was before my accident. The power and benefits of the infrared saunas was exactly what I needed! I've had a love for HOTWORX from the first time I walked in. The motivation to become a HOTWORX Virtual Instructor really comes down to the ability to make an impact and help others achieve their goals. The opportunity to reach so many people and continue to be courageous and step out of my comfort zone, while also having the opportunity to win prizes, travel to meet and work alongside other like-minded people, and become a part of this vibrant and amazing community HOTWORX has to offer! While I am a yoga instructor, I have deep passion and experience in strength training, cycling, and boxing which equips me to reach the Virtual Instructor Competition with new and exciting heights!

Hello HOTWORX family! I’m hoping to return for my second year as a HOTWORX Virtual Instructor. I’m a full time fitness professional, wife, mom and boss, living in Provo, Utah. I am 43 years young and got started in fitness over two decades ago at the age of 18 when I played basketball for Auckland, New Zealand. I grew up dreaming of being a professional dancer but landed in sports, playing basketball, soccer, and softball. Playing athletics at a high level taught me early on that my body would only perform at its best with proper training and nutrition. I took my first job working in a gym and began my passion for training and nutrition. I took dance lessons in college and ended up earning a performing arts scholarship. I fell in love with music, theater, and dance, and landed a few small movie roles during college. I guess to this day I have a flair for the dramatics! I have been in a variety of fitness roles over the years including head coach of Orangetheory Fitness, GM of a large big box gym, personal trainer, group fitness instructor, nutrition coach and currently I’m the fitness director of one of the largest recreation centers in the US, the Provo Rec center. I teach strength classes as well as cycle, HIIT, Pilates, Barre, and a variety of dance fitness formats, my favorite being U-Jam. I manage a team of over 100 fitness instructors and personal trainers and I love my job! I have the privilege of mentoring, training, and helping fitness instructors grow and improve, while simultaneously learning from them and continually seeking to be a better coach and fitness professional. Ultimately, I am a big goofball who loves to live life to the fullest. I’m pretty decent at impressions - I can cross one eye and I often laugh so hard I cry. I love the outdoors, particularly any place with sunshine, warmth, and an ocean. I’m a people-loving foodie, who’s passionate about music and dance. I love to perform but I also love to celebrate those around me and make them feel like they are rockstars. My favorite job of all is being a mom to my four boys and three big Akitas. I’m definitely the “cool mom” and the embarrassing mom at the same time. I love spending time with my husband, often on a Friday night date, consisting of the gym and pizza. I graduated with a degree in psychology, but leaned into fitness as a means to not only help myself but to help others live a fuller life. The fitness profession is the profession of people and service. I fell in love with HOTWORX the first time I stepped into the sauna and became a client. Working as a Virtual Instructor this past year has been the greatest overall fitness experience of my life. Connecting with members all over the country and hearing about how I shared a small part in their fitness journey is such a privilege. I want to continue to connect, inspire, and motivate as many people as possible to regain their health and restore confidence in themselves. I believe in HOTWORX and I know the power it has to change lives! I’ve witnessed it, I’ve experienced it, and I’m so incredibly blessed and grateful to be a part of it.

I can’t wait to come back and bring the skills, knowledge, and experience I gained in my first year as a Virtual Instructor! You invested time and energy into helping me be the best VI I can be and I invested a lot of time as well. Year two allows that investment to really shine as so much preparation and experience will demonstrate. I loved my first year and my experience as a Virtual Instructor. I loved the other VIs and working with a brand I believe in. Most of all, I love good ol’ Eileen from Minnesota who messages me that she can now get through an entire cycle session without stopping and she finally believes she can do this. I love making a genuine difference in this world and helping as many people change their lives through the gift of fitness as I possibly can. I want to empower everyone to believe that they are worthy, they are capable, and they can do this, and that sassy blonde girl on their HOTWORX screen believes in them!

At 26 years young, I'm deeply passionate about fitness and embody the values of hard work and discipline. My journey in fitness began with playing softball and cheerleading, then evolved into coaching my local Jr. High cheer team, guiding them to Nationals. I've also led bootcamp classes in my community and thrived in competitive CrossFit events. Now, I'm excited to bring my energy and expertise to HOTWORX, where I'm always ready to Earn The Burn and inspire others to reach their fitness goals.

Having dedicated over a year to HOTWORX, I've had the privilege of observing firsthand the impact our Virtual Instructors have on the lives of our Warriors. Witnessing members share their successes and the positive transformations they've experienced through their workouts at HOTWORX never fails to inspire me. Their stories motivate me to transition from a Trainer Sales Associate to a Virtual Instructor. I am eager to play a more direct role in guiding and empowering our members as they strive towards their fitness aspirations.

With a background in Sport Management, she thrives on empowering the everyday athlete to reach their fullest potential.

I love breaking down the barriers to entry and watching students blossom into more confident and happier versions of themselves. I believe HOTWORX will provide me with the opportunity to do that on a larger scale.

Turning 50 on July 10th this year, I set a goal to achieve 50 things, one of which is becoming a virtual trainer. Initially, I envisioned this role for a product I sell, but after discovering the HOTWORX post about the Virtual Instructor Competition on Instagram, I knew that was it. As a newly appointed ambassador for HOTWORX Arboretum, I am passionate about the workouts and the brand. My long-standing habit of training in hoodies reflects my love for a good sweat, making HOTWORX's infrared sauna workouts a perfect match. I am deeply committed to the brand and would be honored to join the HOTWORX Virtual Instructor team.

I am passionate about motivating the world through movement! The HOTWORX concept is so amazing because I can help move with many people throughout the nation. The real flex is how many lives you can impact, and that would be an awesome flex to celebrate as I'd love to help as many people as possible experience the gift of movement for their day.

I have 10+ years of experience as a Trainer, Coach, Performer, and Speaker within the fitness industry. In 2015, I was an athlete on the hit TV Fitness Reality show American Ninja Warrior Season 8. For the past 6 years, I've been working as a virtual instructor for other top brands such as Dailyburn and MyFitnessPal. In 2021, I was recognized as a Top 100 AAPI Creator on TikTok. These days I can be found training people from pro-athletes to pro-parents when I'm not training myself or earning the burn.

I have wanted to apply again over the past few years but have personally not been in a place to again until now. I have remained a loyal member, helping out at events at local HOTWORX locations in MA because I still love being part of the community. I believe there is so much more that I can continue to add to the HOTWORX team and its members. Being a Virtual Instructor again would be an honor.

We still have so much growth we have to do together as a team! We aren’t taking the pedal off the gas now, HOTWORX. Coming back last year almost felt like I was starting over, like I was in a familiar place but had never actually been there before. I feel like the dust is blown off now and we are going to shine even brighter together now. I still have so much more to give this brand, its members, and community. Throughout the years, as my body has changed and life has changed, HOTWORX has been my constant. I want to continue to show up for all the Eileens (and all the GUYleens out there!) whose bodies are also changing, and to be here to motivate them and support them as they become the best, happiest, and healthiest versions of themselves. Becoming a mom has opened my heart and mind, and shifted my perspective in ways that only experiences like that can. I now have an even deeper desire and greater knowledge that I will always continue to grow and more experience to support members as they go on their health and wellness journeys.

My love for HOTWORX! I believe in this way to workout, it’s a no-brainer, and everyone should be doing it. HOTWORX is so amazing and I want to help others with hot exercise!

I'm a mom to two lively boys and the owner of a cycling studio in Colorado. I am happiest doing anything outdoors (except fishing) and I especially love mountain biking. Fitness has been my top priority for over 12 years, guiding me through roles as a group exercise instructor and personal trainer. Venturing into the virtual fitness realm with HOTWORX in 2020/2021 ignited a new passion for me. Since then, I've expanded my virtual teaching portfolio with Johnson Health Tech and joined the team at Treo Wellness app. In these roles, I've led various workouts, spanning from cycling and strength training to core exercises, elliptical workouts, climbing sessions, and relaxation stretches. I find so much joy in sharing my passion with the world and helping people realize what their minds and bodies are capable of.

I had such a great experience as a Virtual Instructor in 2020 and have wanted to audition again since my year came to an end. Business and family had conflicted in the last few years, but this year I am so excited to have another chance to become a VI and be a part of people's fitness journey, while doing what I love to do!

I love to learn and graduated with over 200 hours of coursework completed in four years. I am currently in my first year of the Masters of Public Health program at the University of Mississippi, where I serve as a Graduate Assistant through Academic Support Services and I also am an EDHE 202 instructor and teach students coming back from academic suspension or dismissal study and real world skills. Additionally, I published my first children's book titled, "Two Sandwiches,'' which teaches young children how to advocate for themselves and their friends and identify signs of food insecurity. In my free time, I enjoy reading non-fiction books (read 60 last year), hosting my podcast (Empowerment with Elizabeth), am a Memphis Showboats USFL Cheerleader, and teach spin classes on the University of Mississippi campus for ages ranging 18-70+. I am currently serving as Miss Queen of the South with the Miss Mississippi and Miss America Organizations. In the next year, I hope to finish my food security themed coloring book as well as my cookbook, a compilation of recipes from friends and family who have donated heirloom recipes, for both of which the proceeds will go towards improvements in transportation of food as well.

HOTWORX has been such an integral part of my fitness journey and has truly reframed the way I view exercise. It has given me new ideas and more opportunities to continue to better myself. I would love the opportunity to help other HOTWORX members do the same by encouraging them and helping them along in their fitness journey!

Hey, Warriors! I’m so excited to be applying to become a HOTWORX VIRTUAL INSTRUCTOR! I had so much fun during last year’s competition and making it all the way to the Top 15, and I have grown so much since then as well. They always say the comeback is bigger than the setback and I’m excited for this experience again, as my love for HOTWORX and my own experience has grown this past year and I know that I can make an even bigger impact on the HOTWORX members. I’ve been a Group Fitness Instructor since 2016 and specialize in Functional Fitness - or what I like to call, “TRAINING FOR LIFE!” I currently coach at Orangetheory and have taught at CycleBar and Bootcamp classes (in person and virtually), and have recently received my 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Certification! I also am a Habit Coach and help my clients make their healthy habits stick in their busy lives via habit coaching and my top ranked podcast, Habit Hack Your Health. Most importantly, I’m a mom to two boys and married to my high school sweetheart. You can usually find our family doing something active outdoors together with our yellow lab and never missing a #tacotuesday!

I am a big believer in doing hard things and my class attendees just wait for me to say this in every class because it inspires them to apply that to real life outside of the workout. The biggest reason I’m auditioning again is to connect with the person on the other side of the screen who maybe felt some type of defeat, self limiting beliefs, or life just makes it hard to get to a session at HOTWORX that they can do hard things and that they are a Warrior. I was put on this earth to serve via fitness and to be able to reach even more folks to inspire them to do hard things is why I do what I do and why I’m so motivated to become a HOTWORX Virtual Instructor and impact even more lives.

I genuinely live my life to the fullest, laugh every day, love unconditionally, and thrive on adventure. I have been fitness coaching for over 20 years, a massage therapist for 16 years, and modeling for over 20. I am passionate about all of them. At one point, my competitive nature surfaced, and it seemed only natural that I started entering fitness modeling and bikini competitions in 2008. After 8 years in that world, I rode the wave and applied for American Ninja Warrior, making it on season 11. Setting goals keeps me in routine and striving to win, or at least give it all I got. I find so much joy in dancing, writing, drawing, and socializing.

Aside from the incredibly humbling support of Gwynda and Monica Nia, I love adventure. Being able to compete, and work alongside a group of talented and motivated individuals, encourages me to bring my best to the table, driving me to work hard and have a goal in mind. I love the HOTWORX brand and what it has done for me. I want that to show through this challenge.

I am currently 30 yrs old & a single mom to a 10 month old beautiful baby girl. I have been in the fitness industry for 10 years now, from personal training to group fitness. I have been an Orangetheory Fitness coach for the past 3 years and have developed a strong sense of leadership, communication, and connection working as a group fitness coach. I still private train a few clients monthly and my ultimate goal is to open my own gym tailored to working with children. Lastly, I am currently pushing through the process of a divorce and there is so much unknown ahead of me, so when I read about this challengeI just knew I had to sign up. To have something to look forward to, to challenge me and force me to grow.

My daughter!! And the need to fulfill my potential!

I have been a group fitness instructor for over 12 years. I am an amateur mma fighter and a brown belt in jujitsu with virtual instruction under my belt from my previous employer. Fitness is my passion and I try to incorporate it in all aspects of my life.

To help and motivate the HOTWORX client to succeed in their fitness journey and help promote the studio and culture.

I’m here to help you change your life through the power of health, heat, and fitness. I’m originally from Southern California and I moved to NYC 3 years ago to start a new life and haven’t looked back. I love exercise and movement and I credit it for saving my life. I have lost 90 lbs and have kept it off for over 10 years. I realized I needed to share this gift and help motivate the world so I decided to quit my career of 15 years as an assistant vice president in finance to pursue my true passion of fitness! It’s been 1.5 years and I have finally found my purpose! I’m so excited to challenge you while having so much fun along the way. Stay hot!

Part of my exercise routine was hot sauna workouts as I lost weight. I LOVE being sweaty and this will be a way for me to push people out of their comfort zones in the hot and sweaty heat. Can you handle it? I know you can!

I've been teaching yoga and movement for almost 10 years now, leading retreats worldwide, and have a passion for my own personal practice. My goal is to offer HOTWORX what yoga has given me, a safe place to land and get to know my inner self through movement. I believe our physical body is a pathway to our inner world. The more awareness and intention we give to our physical practice the bigger benefit to our heart, mind, and soul. I have an energetic and playful teaching style and love to bring out the best in my students!

I love the concept of HOTWORX but I LOVE teaching even more. I am here to share movement with as many people as possible and HOTWORX is an amazing opportunity to share my knowledge and bring health and joy to those who need it!

I am a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT200) and I am passionate about the mind-body connection that yoga provides its students. I guide yoga with its intended philosophy in mind of working to answer the three key questions of the universe - the ones that connect all of us and our journeys in this life: Who am I? Why do I suffer? How can I mend the suffering? I am also very passionate about maintaining the authenticity of the practice through Sanskrit pronunciation of the asanas. Yoga is a huge part of my life daily and I feel called to seek more and more ways outside of the yoga studio to share that craving and pass along that passion.

What is motivating me is the idea that I could share in something that is bigger than I am and that I truly believe in, like the HOTWORX mission of making fitness an accessible tool. I want to share the tool I have found of mindful movement and how it can help one's mindset and sense of inner-peace.

Born and raised in Texas, I am proud to share that I have grown an international audience with my speaking and writing efforts. As an author, I have two published books (and working on #3) and speak to groups about elevating one’s self-care to perform at a higher level. As a former corporate communicator, Mrs. Texas, and distance runner, I am a high performer looking to feel my best at every age. I share this passion with my yoga and mindfulness clients, my workshops and group classes, and with those around me. My strengths are communication, motivation, and empathy. I feel that I meet a person where they are at and elevate them with inspiration, coaching, friendship, or a simple positive nudge in the right direction. I am a proud wife, pup mom, step-mom and grandparent, but my favorite role is motivator. It is the role I bring into every other effort in my life. I am a travel enthusiast, adventure seeker, and feel that life is best lived in gratitude. There is always something to be grateful for!

My current virtual yoga and mindfulness clients inspire me daily, and the opportunity to expand my reach by joining the HOTWORX Virtual Instructor team excites me. I witness them squashing limiting beliefs and it fires me up to help others do it again and again.

I am a mother to two young children and a health and wellness enthusiast! I empower others to live well with holistic health. In 2013, I began teaching group fitness in college while studying nutrition. I taught mat Pilates and core classes. I also served as an Auburn University Cheerleader from 2013-2015. I went on to complete RYT-200 hour Yoga Teacher Training while I was earning my Masters degree in nutrition, also at Auburn University. I continued to teach yoga for the next 8 years, in Alabama, New Jersey, and California, as well as online during and after the pandemic.

My family is motivating me to become a HOTWORX Virtual Instructor. I want to be the healthiest version of myself so that I can be a great mom and teach my children about the importance of wellness!

I am from Columbia, SC and currently live in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I have been an athlete all my life and received a D1 Scholarship to the University of South Carolina for the National Championship Equestrian Team. While attending the University, I studied and graduated with my BS in Sport & Entertainment Marketing & Management. I have been a certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor for over 9 years and have been in the fitness industry since graduating college. I have also been a professional boxer for over 9 years and still currently compete. I love being a teacher and helping whoever I can reach their fitness goals and use my story of my mental health journey to help anyone who deals with depression like I do. My mental health journey has made me a better instructor and I really go into the fitness industry to help anyone I can and let them know they are not alone.

The Virtual Instructors I’ve taken at HOTWORX have been amazing and so motivating. As an instructor myself, I want to be able to be a part of an amazing team and continue to help as many people as I can on their journey. I would love to be a part of the HOTWORX family!

I’ve always had a passion for fitness and health and have worked in the field for several years now. I’ve had the privilege of serving various roles in this space from 1X1 training, to management, to group fitness instruction. I’ve worked in the commercial space and in boutique studios. As a new mom and hybrid athlete (I am a runner who also loves resistance training!), my goal is to show people that they can do anything and everything when it comes to fitness. Whatever their passion and goals are, they are capable. There is no one size fits all when it comes to your fitness journey, but it’s so important to have support and guidance in the process. I want to be that support for people. I want to be the voice telling people they are capable of more than they think. I want to inspire and push people to break down the barriers they have built up. As someone who learned this through my own journey, I feel it is my mission to do so for others. I believe setting a challenging, physical goal, working towards it, and completing it helps to build confidence that translates to all areas of your life. I want everyone to experience that feeling!

I turned 30 this year and also became a mom. I feel an energy shift in my life and I find myself asking, “What is my next step?” and “How can I level up in this industry?” Being a part of the HOTWORX brand, which I believe is so well respected and I feel a connection with, would be an exciting challenge for me and something that seems like a natural fit. I am eager to learn more and would be grateful for an opportunity to be considered for this role. I want to build community and be part of something larger than myself, and I want a platform to connect with and inspire others. I believe this role would give me that opportunity!

I am 41 years old, a mom of 2 (Mia age 7 and Leo age 4), and married to Justin, who's a Firefighter and the Captain of our FPHL Hockey Team, the MS SeaWolves. I have been a Group Fitness Instructor since 2005 and have loved being able to educate those in fitness since 2015. I am still a Master Trainer for Barre Intensity and still travel the country teaching others how to instruct barre & Pilates. I recently opened my own space to teach barre, boxing, and cycle. After 19 years of teaching for others, I decided it was time to create a space where I could teach what I love in a place that I love. It’s called The Barre Box. I teach 8-12 classes a week there between barre, boxing, and cycle. It’s so fun to be back in a consistent routine of teaching. I still teach virtually for Barre Intensity, where I film 5-10 classes a year.

I've worn many hats over the course of my young life but the hat of a fitness educator and instructor has always been my favorite. I truly love being able to connect with others through fitness, help inspire others to reach for their goals, and guide anyone and everyone through their fitness journey no matter their level of ability. I’ve been blessed to teach many different formats of fitness over the last 19 years which include Hip Hop Hustle, Water Aerobics, Cycling, MMA Kickboxing, HIIT Classes, mat Pilates, reformer Pilates, Yoga, and Barre. Barre may be what most know me for, but I’m a very skilled group fitness instructor that can teach any format I’m asked to teach. God gives us all gifts. The gift of teaching fitness is what he gave me. These last 3 seasons as a VI for HOTWORX have not only helped me become a better virtual instructor but an even better in-person instructor. When you only have a camera to connect to, you learn how to pivot, grow, and engage with clients on a new level.

What motivated me to apply for year 4? I go back and forth with this, but it all boils down to it filling my cup too! It’s ok to love what you do, knowing it's impacting someone else too. Not only do I know that I am a great instructor for Eileen, but for all of our members: young, old, handicapped, experienced, and/or beginning their fitness journey. Being a part of the team is fun, pushes me out of my comfort zone, and helps me to become the best on and off set. I am professional, inclusive, and can lead any session you guys ask me to film. From Blast to Buns, Bands to Warrior, Pilates and more, I’ve led them all except for Hot Core and Hot Stretch. You can use me in any capacity from appearances, to public speaking, motivation, and leading exceptional workouts for our members. It fills my cup, and you can count on me to fill the cup of those on my team, on and off set. They gave me the nickname “Mama Maria” and that’s truly a fact. The care I have for those around me, from VIs to the Corporate Team, is a gift that I love to give.

What motivates me to be a HOTWORX instructor is the chance to fuse my passion for fitness with an innovative brand committed to helping individuals thrive. I'm excited about the opportunity to inspire others, lead dynamic workouts, and be part of a supportive community dedicated to wellness. Joining HOTWORX means I have the opportunity to make a real difference in people's lives while doing what I love most - inspiring movement.

Marlene is a Houston native and began her classical dance training at the High School for Performing and Visual Arts at age 14. From there, Marlene spent 10 years off and on performing with small modern dance companies, dancing in off-Broadway musicals and site-specific Operas, doing VoiceOver work, background acting, and commercial dance work in independent music videos throughout Houston, TX and New York City. Marlene joined the list of Houston Chronicle’s Top Fitness Pros in 2022 and currently teaches pop-up classes online and in-person for her Gospel Dance + Tone fitness class, as well as teaching indoor cycling, bounce, and barre group fitness classes. Marlene holds a BFA in Dance from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts ('09) as well as a MA in Dance Education from Hunter College ('19). When she's not dancing or teaching a group fitness class, she enjoys spending her free time with her two dogs Nala and Q-Tip, trying different seafood dishes/Asian cuisine, or meditating.

The opportunity to make a greater impact, be an ambassador for others who connect with me, and share my gifts and talents all the while learning/growing is what is motivating me to become a HOTWORX Virtual Instructor. Being a lead trainer in online videos has been a dream of mine ever since I was a little girl.

I am a certified C-IAYT, ERYT 500, YACEP, Holistic Life Coach, and Stress Management Specialist focused on intuitive and mindful movement to optimize self awareness, regulation and vitality. I am an author of two published books and the founder of MelMarie Yoga Studio. Being a military spouse, I am drawn to serving the military and helping guide them by emphasizing mental and emotional hygiene through mind-body practices that address imbalances from a holistic and Vedic lens. I opened the first fully equipped yoga studio on a military base and led a pilot program that became the second study to research yoga in the US Army aiding the operationalization of tactical mobility and mindfulness through TRADOC.

I believe exercise is a process of reclaiming oneself that leads to deeper healing of subconscious patterns lodged in the nervous system and body. Through working alongside me, I know people will gain new insight on regulating their body, nourishing their mind, and honoring their spirit. My multi-modal approach provides comprehensive experiences that are both intentional and informational, aiding people to step deeper into their own power. I am dualistic, artistic, and a visionary who believes in the magic each human offers as medicine to the world. In every community I am a part of, I truly hope to foster vitality, clarity, confidence and self care.

I want to be able to bring a texture to the experience where participants feel seen, inspired and revitalized through a yoga practice that edifies both body and mind. Though the practices I deliver establish strength, momentum, stability, health and wellness like most fitness classes, I am able to bring a mindfulness based component to the experiences that awakens sensory awareness, self care, and self reflection. This optimizes the impact people have during the workout experience. It also fosters a deeper connection and commitment to their health and wellness journey. I personally own my own sauna (that is how much I love infrared heat) and love practicing, stretching, and moving in my sauna and it would be a dream to share this on a bigger stage and serve the HOTWORX community.

I am passionate about innovative fitness and merging modalities. I believe HOTWORX is a pioneer in this and I resonate immensely with HOTWORX's emphasis on the quality of a workout, blending modalities into one experience that the customer can gather so much value in within a short time. As an educator and leader in the yoga industry, having trained hundreds of yoga teachers and taught thousands of people, I know I would be a wonderful asset to HOTWORX. My nerdiness and love for infrared saunas, heat and movement make me a perfect fit to teach yoga for HOTWORX. My teachings are evidence informed, based in mind-body medicine and threaded with empowering participants to optimize their whole health. I see HOTWORX as more than fitness but a one stop shop for integrative and proactive health and would be honored to be part of the HOTWORX family. Personally, I am a military spouse and a mom with a passion to inspire more magic in people's lives. Participants who practice with me through video often give me feedback that I feel like a close friend even though they have never met me in person. This work is so fun and so meaningful. I am so excited for this opportunity.

I am a teacher by day and a fitness instructor by night! I'm an avid sports fan and a smiling enthusiast! I've been involved in sports and fitness my whole life! I played softball at Boston College (Go Eagles!) and I’ll watch or attempt to play any sport! Prior to becoming a teacher, I spent more than a decade talking about sports for a living as a sports broadcaster for various CBS affiliates throughout the country. I currently live in the Atlanta, Georgia area. I am originally from New Jersey but I’ve lived in North Dakota, Massachusetts, and Florida. When I’m not teaching or earning the burn at HOTWORX, you can find me playing with my animals, enjoying a good book, and spending time with my husband!

5 years ago, I went through a difficult time and HOTWORX changed my life. Finding HOTWORX was a blessing for me, not just physically but mentally, and I want to be able to share that with the world!

I am a wife and mother to two beautiful daughters, living in the wonderful city of SLC, Utah! I am a fitness enthusiast and a huge health & wellness advocate! I have an almost 10 year group fitness teaching background and I am certified in Cycling, Barre, Yoga Sculpt and The Lagree Fitness Method (and adding to my certs soon, Versa Climbing). I am the GM of the HOTWORX in Taylorsville and I am obsessed w/ the HOTWORX method and infrared saunas! I love coaching, motivating, and teaching others about how to feel good from the inside out! Also, I LOVE Summer & hate Winter! My downfall in life is the cold. I am a HEAT freak, so HOTWORX obviously wins! (Oh, and I make KILLER playlists!)

I LOVE HOTWORX!!! Who wouldn't want to audition for this brand? Truth? It looks fun & I would LOVE to be a part of that! The audition process seems thrilling and exciting, and I am intrigued. I would be honored to be a Virtual Instructor for HOTWORX. That is what motivates me! I am always up for a good challenge, especially a fitness challenge! (Remember, I am driven!)

I was born and raised in Lancaster, Wisconsin and graduated with a degree in Dance from the University of Alabama. I’m a wife and a mother to two wonderful children. I’m an ACE Certified Personal Trainer and have spent the last 7 years working in the fitness industry. My family and I recently relocated to New Market, Maryland, for my husband’s job and we are enjoying this new adventure.

I’m motivated to be a Virtual Instructor because I want to be part of this company. I see the growth potential and I marvel at the benefits of infrared saunas. I want to be part of something that is going to help so many people and something that I, myself, have been a part of and reaped the benefits since Day 1 as a member of HOTWORX. I am motivated by the fact that this competition is going to challenge me, both mentally and physically. However, I assure you I’m ready to conquer any obstacle and am up for the challenge!

I'm a Certified Personal Trainer and I've worked in the fitness industry for over 13 years. I started at David Barton and the 24- Hour Fitness. I began my entrepreneur journey with my companies, Iron Body Scottsdale and Iron Buddha LLC. I've competed in Bikini, nationally in Figure, and am the current Ms. Washington under the United States of America Pageant System, competing this July 2024 in San Antonio. Many of my clients have competed in bodybuilding, but I truly love working with athletes and the general population.

I am passionate about helping people move properly! I know how hard it is to stay on track with any fitness goal. It's important to me to help others succeed as I believe it is my true calling in life!

I’m a 27 year old personal trainer of 6 years and studio manager here in Columbus, Ohio. My passion for fitness allows me to help people feel good about themselves through movement on a daily basis. I’m dedicated to helping our members crush their fitness goals with my boundless energy, expertise, and motivation to every virtual session. I’m eager to learn and ready to bring my vibrant vibes on set & to a screen near you!

I’m motivated by my passion for fitness and helping others achieve their goals. I desire to be more active and dynamic within my career as a group instructor and personal trainer. Having personal experiences with others’ transformations, as well as contributing to their well-being, is also a huge motivator for me.

I am a Certified Classical Pilates Instructor, BS Kinesiology and Pre-PT, an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, and Group Fitness Instructor for 24 years, while balancing motherhood of 7 and private and group fitness training. I love teaching clients and seeing their bodies transform through mindbody workouts and cardiovascular exercise. I have experience teaching filmed classes and videos. I created MASH-UP Conditioning and some of our old videos of me teaching can be found online.

I absolutely love HOTWORX and feel the need to go almost every day! I always tell my students about infrared heat and how good it is for the body. I also love teaching video formatted workouts to give to my personal clients so they can workout on their own. I want to represent an older age group that loves your studios as much as I do. It is important to look at your instructors as someone you can relate to or look up to as you continue to age.

I’m a rebel alum and current New Orleanian, a creator and detail oriented instructor that is easily molded, absorbing new innovative ways to stay fresh and spicy in my delivery. I’m constantly looking for opportunities to improve myself. I learned the hard way, and as a current Barre, Pilates, and Cycle instructor, through functional fitness, it’s my goal to help others make positive changes in their lives.

I believe in the HOTWORX brand, I live by it, and honestly have for years now. It’s part of my daily routine. I AM Eileen. I am that 30 year old who works hard to earn a living and even has a full time sedentary job so there’s no excuses. I’ve broken the bad habits and while I continue to work on them, I want to help others do the same, as they create more belief in themselves. I feel that I resonate with those members and that in itself is half the battle. I am smart, capable and confident. I have the capabilities and the experience to succeed as a Virtual Instructor and help others succeed alongside me. I am coachable and have deemed myself worthy of an opportunity that I’ve challenged myself to step out of my comfort zone.

I set clear, measurable, yet challenging, goals for myself and do not stop until I’ve exceeded my own potential. I don’t meet myself in the middle, I finish the mile and push through to the finish line. Having an open heart and an open mind has allowed me to constantly invite opportunity and possibility in my life, and I believe stepping out of the box, putting myself out there, and creating new friendships has led me to where I am today. I am putting my qualities to the test, my best foot forward, and giving it my life, my all, to boost my credibility doing what I love most. I didn’t study, train and develop this passion for nothing, and I want to share that with as many people as possible. I don’t allow things of lesser importance or creeping doubts to stand in my way. I show up and I am motivated to show up for this position, while bringing my pinch of personality to the family. Rather than allowing doubt and anxiety overpower me, my passion and confidence fuel me. My dedication to my passion for fitness has enabled me to create effective workouts, ensure proper form and technique, push through plateaus, and make fitness fun.

Stephanie has been teaching group fitness since she fell in love with reformer pilates over 16 years ago. She loves being active, whether it's running, skiing, horseback riding, dancing, playing soccer, or chasing after her 2 little girls. Reformer pilates gave her a love for feeling strong and being fit without the risk of injuring her body. Knowing that reformer pilates is the perfect cross training for all the other sports she does, it has given her an appreciation for her body and a way to keep it healthy and strong. Stephanie has created her own workout methods that incorporate low impact/high intensity training. Trust her that you will be feeling the BURN during and after her signature full body workouts! Over the past 16 years she is always looking for ways to improve and evolve her style and is also certified in TRX, Xtend Barre, and was one of the original Lululemon Ambassadors when they opened their first store in SLC. She has trained dozens of instructors in her unique style who teach her signature method around the Salt Lake valley. Stephanie also currently teaches PE to the cutest pre-k through 8th grade kiddos at her girls’ school. She loves the energy of teaching group classes and seeing people also develop a love for fitness and all the amazing benefits it has. She's her happiest when moving and challenging her body to do amazing things and pushing past her comfort zone. Movement is such an important part of her lifestyle and she hopes to spread that love and appreciation to everyone who takes her class.

This is a tricky question with many answers depending on the person...it's simple for me. I want to be a positive force in people's lives. I want people to know their worth, how strong they are, how amazing they were made and to live their best lives. Whether I'm teaching PE to all my munchkins or pushing my pilates clients, or telling everyone I know to come experience my classes, I want people to feel strong, to be strong, to love their bodies, to love their uniqueness and in turn to live better lives through movement.

Born and raised in Utah, I have always had a love for fitness and being physically active. I grew up dancing and doing gymnastics. At the age of 18, I began teaching dance and have done that for 15+ years. In addition to teaching dance, I am also indoor cycling certified and Lagree certified. Fitness is not only my passion, it is my lifeline. I suffer from a condition called Ehlers Danlos, a connective tissue disorder that causes your joints, skin and organs to deteriorate. My health requires that I stay physically strong to keep going and I want to share that same strength with others.

My best friend recently opened up a studio and I fell in love with the workout. I would like to bring my love and light to the people of HOTWORX.

I have a Master of Science in Athletic Administration and a Bachelor’s of Science in Broadcast Journalism. I am a former 5-time NFL Cheerleader and NFL Pro Bowl Cheerleader. I currently work as a sports reporter and host for Texashsfootball.com, as well as baseball and softball Play by Play Commentator and Showstoppers Dance Competition Emcee. I have been a HOTWORX Virtual Instructor for two years and teach yoga, boot camp, trampolining, and spin. I am an avid runner and have completed four marathons.

The last two years as a VI have been incredible and I have continued to grow and improve and believe I still have so much more to offer HOTWORX members. I enjoy connecting with franchises through social media and meeting members all over the US when I travel. I am building bonds and a following, and believe I still have much more to give HOTWORX. I have not taught Thunder and Bands and I also would like to film some of the sessions I did my first season to show my growth. I love to promote HOTWORX and feel I have a way of motivating all ages and genders, and believe year three would be very special!

I am a 29 year fitness enthusiast who is eager to inspire and teach others about the importance of health, wellness, and fitness. I’ve danced my entire life and through that, I’ve developed a strong and influential mindset. Fitness and activity are my life, my priority. I’m my happiest while training myself and others!

Being a high school cheerleading coach, personal trainer, and group fitness instructor, I have a strong interest in fitness and training. I want to use my positive experience with HOTWORX workouts to help others achieve their goals. The current Virtual Instructors have made such a huge difference on my outlook of exercise and time, and I want to be that for others! My favorite quote of HOTWORX is “more workout, less time.” The reason: time is a common excuse to not reach fitness goals and HOTWORX gives you the BEST opportunity to stay active and SWEAT! I’d be an AMAZING choice to put through this competition!
