HOTWORX — a fitness franchise specializing in infrared sauna workouts — has launched a promotion called 'Cruise Into Fall.' This giveaway, which is debuting through the original Oxford, Mississippi studio, celebrates the brand's 90th anniversary.
The 'Cruise Into Fall' giveaway will give participants a chance to win a five-night cruise for two from New Orleans. The multi-entry contest runs from April 23 to August 31, 2026, where existing members, new members, and non-member guests can earn entries by completing workouts, referring others, or posting on social media.
HOTWORX's infrared sauna workouts include 30-minute isometric sessions like yoga and Pilates, as well as 15-minute high-intensity interval workouts such as rowing and cycling. For those already committed to HOTWORX's training model, the giveaway provides extra motivation to maintain consistency and engage with the community. Potential new members who have been curious about the brand's patented infrared concept may find the cruise prize compelling enough to try a workout or sign up for a membership.
