This type of technology is gathering strength in the fitness industry, especially for those wanting shorter, more intense gym sessions. Hotworx uses infrared heat to ramp up your workouts.

You can take classes that range from 15 to 30 minutes inside a heated studio.

Utopia is a gym that takes a more comprehensive approach. It combines food and fitness.

“We do a custom program,” said founder Kirk Wilder. Clients work out 20 minutes, twice a week. “At the time that they workout, they pick up either three days of food or four days of food, which will cover them for the seven days.”

Wilder told us Utopia also uses special gym equipment for an effective workout.

“That 20-minute workout equals 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise, and 50 minutes of convention strength training,” Wilder said.
