Hot Spot Teacher Trainings — November Dates Open!

Our trainings are built to feel approachable and real, lots of hands-on learning, plenty of practice time, and lessons that actually make sense in the real world of teaching.
We built our curriculum in-house, focusing on what truly matters (and skipping what doesn’t).

Available weekends:

November 8–9

November 22–23

Train in your choice of:
Mat-Based Pilates
Sculpt
Strength Circuits
Barre
Vinyasa

We’re also looking for potential fill-ins and future instructors for The Hot Spot in a few of these class styles, so if teaching has ever been on your mind, this might be your perfect start.

Can’t make it to Mitchell? I can travel and train your team on-site (within a 200-mile radius).

Message us to chat details, availability, and which format you’re most interested in.

Happy Birthday to our Hot Spot momma, Rox!

Diving into ownership with a friend can be scary, most people say it never works. But somehow, we did more than make it work. You’ve been the best partner in crime a girl could ask for.

You’re strong, inspiring, hard-working, and just the right amount of cheesy.

I’m so proud of you, proud of what you pour into this community, and proud to stand beside you in all things Hot Spot.

We love you Mamacita! 😻

Happy Birthday to our Itty Bitty Britty 🫶🏻 Our hardworking, silent-killing, heart-opening babe

She’s the kind of person who lifts everyone up, stays humble while crushing goals, and brings positive energy wherever she goes. Competitive yet compassionate, charming yet fierce, she truly brings something special to our team.

Gratitude Spotlight: Our Team

For the Hot Spot Strong / 12 Week Challenge – Week One, we’re taking on daily gratitude journals. And honestly? This gratitude post is long overdue. Our team deserves to be reminded every single day how incredible they are. 💛

This team is truly something special. We’ve shared life’s ups and downs—big changes, relationships, family moments, work challenges, and more. We’ve celebrated, supported, checked in on each other, cried together, hugged, high-fived, and lifted each other when it mattered most.

I’m beyond proud of this group; our Hot Spot family isn’t just a team, it’s a heart. Every day, we bring our best to this space, to each other, and to everyone who walks through our doors.

Here’s to a team that moves together, grows together, and shines together.

What’s Ashtanga? COMING SUNDAYS!!

If you’ve done our vinyasa classes, you’re used to a structured flow: warm-up → build-up → peak posture → cool-down. But Ashtanga is a different beast.

Here’s what makes Ashtanga stand out:
Same sequence every time. Every class you do the same Primary Series (26 postures or so, depending on tradition). You’ll get familiar with it, see subtle shifts, and deepen through repetition.

It starts with breath, not movement. Ashtanga begins with ujjayi breath + bandha engagement, warming the system internally before diving into the first posture.

You go right into an advanced posture. Rather than easing in, you challenge your system immediately — hold, breathe, reset. Then move on.

Strength in stillness. Rather than constantly flowing, you hold postures for multiple breaths (often 5 breaths) before transitioning. That tension + breath = strength + mental focus.

Built-in progression. Because it’s the same set each class, you measure progress in how deep, stable, and aligned you become over time.

We’re offering this class Sundays in the hot room, led by Ralph — a respected yogi and massage therapist known for his scientific, grounded approach to the body and movement.

If you’re looking to build strength, sharpen focus, and challenge yourself in a new way, this class is it.

The Hot Spot Strong / 12 is HERE!

Our challenges are always a favorite, fun, motivating, and a chance to push yourself alongside our Hot Spot community. This one is a little different (and maybe a little tougher):

each week has multiple goals across physical fitness, mental wellness, and nutrition/supplements. They’re challenging but completely doable, and we’ll be right there with you!

Expect extra fun during this challenge: more instructor swaps, surprise pop-ups, and maybe even new equipment or class styles making their debut.

How It Works
- Each week = 3 goals (Physical • Mental • Nutrition/Supplement)
- Complete all 3 → earn your name on the board for that week
- Bonus entries: On select weeks, post & tag us on social for an extra chance at prizes
- Each week completed = 1 entry • Do all 12 = 12 entries + bonus recognition

Sign Up Details
- Opens: Monday, October 6th (sign up at the desk)
- Cost: $12 to enter
- Prizes: Passes, prizes, and more!

Challenge Begins: Monday, October 13th
- You can still sign up until October 27th
- After sign-up you’ll get your full challenge package with weekly goals
- Plus: a 15% off discount code for classes/passes during the 12 weeks (valid for 2 purchases)

This is more than a challenge, it’s a reset, a routine-builder, and a reminder of how strong you are. Watch our stories as we prep and get ready to kick this off together.

We’ve got this, let's goooo!!!

What a night!

The whole Hot Spot crew made it to the Better South Dakota Gala right here on our very own DWU campus, and we are still so moved by the experience. This event was nothing short of amazing—heartfelt, inspiring, and such a powerful reminder of why we love coming together for causes like this.

We’re so proud of our team. Over time we’ve grown, learned, and built something special. We’re all so different, yet we understand each other and mesh in a way that makes us stronger together. Nights like this make us grateful—not just for opportunities to support incredible causes, but to do so side by side with our Hot Spot family and alongside other amazing teams across South Dakota.

Here’s to growth, connection, and continuing to show up for each other and our community.

We’re so excited to be spending the evening with our entire Hot Spot crew at the Better South Dakota Gala this Saturday!

This movement means so much to us because it aligns with our own mission: supporting mental health as much as physical health. After all, when your mental health is struggling, it makes every part of life, including physical wellness, so much harder. We’re proud to stand behind a cause that truly matters.

The nonprofit broadens its mission with counseling grants, expanded scholarships, and faith-based partnerships to address mental health challenges
