They represent thousands of individual acts of generosity from our members, franchisees, and corporate team,&#8221; said Stephen P. Smith, Founder and CEO of HOTWORX. &#8220;Workouts for Heroes continues to show what&#8217;s possible when an entire fitness community comes together with purpose. We&#8217;re incredibly proud to support organizations that are making a real, tangible difference in the lives of veterans and military women.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The campaign united HOTWORX&#8217;s Workouts for Heroes and annual Breast Cancer Awareness initiatives, mobilizing members, franchisees, and the corporate team nationwide through Dedication Ribbons, limited-edition pink merchandise, and a meaningful corporate match, demonstrating a truly systemwide commitment to giving back.<\/p>\n<p>Proceeds benefiting SMRC will help fund restorative retreats designed to support the physical and emotional healing of veterans and first responders. Donations to NBCF&#8217;s Military Women&#8217;s Patient Relief Fund will assist military women undergoing breast cancer treatment by helping cover essential non-medical expenses such as childcare, transportation, and lodging.<\/p>\n<h3>Top Studio Fundraising Efforts<\/h3>\n<p>HOTWORX recognized standout studios across the system whose local efforts helped drive the campaign&#8217;s nationwide success, with the Clive, Iowa (University Ave) location emerging as a top studio fundraiser, followed by the Gonzales, Louisiana, and Roswell, New Mexico, studio locations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our members showed up in such a big way for this campaign,&#8221; said Katie McDonald, franchise owner of the HOTWORX Clive (University Ave) location. &#8220;It was inspiring to see our community rally together to support veterans and military women facing incredibly difficult circumstances. This is what HOTWORX is all about: strength, compassion, and community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With studios nationwide participating, the 2025 Workouts for Heroes campaign reinforced HOTWORX&#8217;s commitment to building healthier, stronger communities both inside and outside the sauna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>NEW ORLEANS, LA<\/strong> &#8211; HOTWORX, the revolutionary 24-hour infrared fitness studio franchise, announces the successful conclusion of its 2025 Workouts for Heroes campaign, raising a total of $63,253.42 to support U.S. veterans and military women battling breast cancer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10949,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[707],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12004"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12004"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12004\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12005,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12004\/revisions\/12005"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
