We are beyond excited to welcome Trina Lapp to The Hot Spot team!

Trina is genuinely one of the sweetest gals, with a drive and passion for fitness that we absolutely love! Currently a nursing student, she has a strong interest in the body, mind, and overall wellness, and she’s excited to continue growing her education and experience in the fitness world.

Trina trains alongside Karlee at Poise, a local reformer Pilates studio, where her passion for movement and genuine interest in people’s overall health really stood out. Karlee saw something in Trina that goes beyond fitness. Her understanding that movement is about so much more than the physical side of things aligns perfectly with what we believe in at The Hot Spot.

With Roxy getting ready to welcome baby number two VERY soon, Trina will be joining the team to help cover our Mat Pilates classes while Roxy is on maternity leave. She’ll be helping lead both traditional and nontraditional hybrid-style Mat Pilates classes!

We’re excited to give Trina the opportunity to continue learning, growing, and sharing her love for movement with our community.

Help us give her a big Hot Spot welcome!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR ROXY!

Ohhhh, where do I even start with this one.

Roxy has been my rock for quite some time now. We’ve learned a LOT together. About business, life, people, ourselves, and probably a few things we could’ve gone without learning. But man, am I thankful we’ve had each other through it all.

This year has been a big one. A new role in her career, some pretty significant emotional hurdles behind the scenes, and growing baby number TWO. And somehow this woman is STILL teaching in a 102-degree studio, making the rest of us look like absolute babies. Which is ironic considering SHE’S THE ONE CARRYING THE BABY.

But that’s Roxy.

She’s thoughtful, helpful, and one of the easiest humans to love. She’ll listen to you ramble about the same thing for the 47th time, give you her very blunt “yeahhhh no, that’s probably not a good idea,” and then somehow still be standing beside you when you go ahead and do the dumb thing anyway.

I’ve watched her question herself, push herself, take on new responsibilities, and keep showing up for everyone around her. And I hope she knows just how many people are in her corner. Not because she has anything to prove, but because she’s worth showing up for, too.

Roxy, we’ve built a lot more than a business together. You’ve taught me patience, perspective, and probably how to think something through before immediately acting on it. I’d like to think I’ve taught you a thing or two, too. Maybe not always the most responsible things, but things nonetheless.

I’m proud of you. I’m thankful for you. And I’m so excited to watch you become a mama of two, even though I’m not sure how we’re going to convince you to actually sit down and take a break.

Happy birthday to my business partner, my sounding board, my reality check, and one of my very favorite humans.

Love you, Rox. More than you probably realize.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR LITTLE ENERGIZER BUNNY, BRITTNEY!

I remember writing Britt’s birthday post last year and talking about how she was this quiet, reserved little human outside of the studio, but an absolute BEAST once class started.

Well, a year later, I think it’s safe to say she’s officially come out of her shell in every direction. And I LOVE IT.

One thing I don’t think people realize about Britt is the amount of responsibility she carries outside these studio walls. She has a huge role at the hospital in Parkston, managing people, stressful situations, and all the things that come with healthcare, somehow with so much poise. So I guess coming to The Hot Spot and kicking all our asses in her free time just makes sense.

And if you’ve ever taken a class with Britt, you know that woman will find a way to turn just about ANY movement into cardio. Doesn’t matter what the instructor says, she’s finding a little extra bounce, jump, or burst somewhere.

But my favorite part? She’s starting to rub off on everyone else. Now you’ve got people around her challenging themselves to take that extra cardio option too. Look what you’ve started, Britt!

I love watching people grow into themselves, and Britt has been so fun to watch this past year. More confidence, more personality, more laughs, and somehow even MORE energy. Didn’t think that last one was possible.

Happy birthday, Britt! We adore you, we’re proud of you, and we’re still trying to figure out where the hell you get all that energy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR KYLEE!

I am quite literally obsessed with this girl.

Kylee is one of our newer instructors, and I don’t even know how to explain her personality because she’s somehow the most laid-back, hyper, chill worrywart you’ll ever meet. And it just works.

She’s a teacher, a familiar smiling face around Mitchell, and one of those people who is just naturally good at things. Seriously, her brain picks things up so dang fast.

But my FAVORITE thing about Kylee is her humor. You look at this sweet, smiley, professional little human and would never expect the things that come out of her mouth. Then out of absolutely nowhere, she’ll throw in the quickest, most perfectly timed comment and have you belly laughing. And she’ll just carry on like she didn’t say a thing.

And now she’s growing a whole human, which is just wild and wonderful. I love that we get to be part of this chapter of her life, and I have a feeling there’s another little Hot Spot babe coming to keep us all entertained.

Kylee, I genuinely just adore you. You’re funny without trying, smart without making a big deal about it, and somehow manage to be a little bit of everything all at once.

I’m so glad our paths crossed and that we get to have you around. Happy birthday, you hilarious little worrywart. We love you!

DON’T GHOST YOUR WELLNESS BABES.
Ghost your ex. Ghost your bad habits. GHOST WHAT DOESN’T SERVE YOU! But keep showing up for yourself.

Fall is here, the ghosts have taken over The Hot Spot, and we have a LOT happening around the studio.

HERE’S WHAT’S COMING:

• Two new HIIT classes! Non-heated HIIT on Tuesdays + Hot HIIT on Sundays.

• Mommy + Me Ghosty Storytime Yoga & Hangout — Saturday, October 31! Movement, storytime + plenty of room for the kiddos to be kiddos.

• Ghost Bingo is coming toward the end of October!

• More slow + relaxing classes are coming back as the weather cools down, including Sound Bath + Yin Yoga.

• Our team is growing! Trina Lapp will be helping with Roxy’s Wednesday AM Mat Pilates, and James Dougherty will be rotating with Karlee for Lift Club.

• We’re also working on the return of a familiar Hot Spot face for Barre + Friday pop-ups. More on that soon!

AND THEN THERE ARE THE HOT SPOT BABIES.

• Roxy is due in early November with baby #2! Join us Friday, October 23 for a Baby Bash + Guess the Gender Hot Sculpt Pop-Up. Wear PINK or BLUE for your guess!

• Lexi is due in February, so we have another Hot Spot baby on the way!

Formal meet-the-team posts are coming soon, along with a few other things we’ll share as they come.

As we head into the colder months, we’re excited to keep growing, adjusting and creating a space that feels good to come back to.

We are SO proud of our instructors, our space and all of you. We’ve watched so many people make movement, community and overall wellness a bigger part of their lives this year. Always remember yourself, you’re important ❤️

Just a few short weeks remain in our Wellness Tour Challenge!

This challenge was created to help us stay connected to our wellness through the busiest and warmest months of the year. It has never been only about workouts inside The Hot Spot. It’s been about recognizing movement, connection, rest, fresh air, trying something new and all the little choices that help us feel a little better—inside and outside these walls.

Those who reach the required number of checkmarks will earn a FREE Wellness Club tee! We will also have a limited number available for purchase for anyone who wants one.

Keep checking those boxes and doing more of what feels good. PROUD OF YOU ALL!!!

Today we’re celebrating Karlee and trying to put this girl into words is harder than it sounds.
Because if you know Karlee, you know she’s never just one thing.

She’s creative, driven, strong, artistic, athletic, a little crazy in the best way, and somehow talented at just about everything she decides to try. She can teach a class, plan an event, create something from absolutely nothing, tackle a project she’s never done before, make an entire room laugh, and still be the person you call when you need help figuring out your own life.
But as impressive as all of the things she can do are, we think the best part of Karlee is who she is to the people around her.

She is the person who will have 100 things of her own going on and somehow put every single one of them aside when someone else needs her. She shows up. She listens. She helps. She celebrates other people loudly and genuinely. She sees potential in people before they always see it in themselves, and she has a way of pushing you outside of your comfort zone while also making you feel like she’ll be standing right there if you fall.

The Hot Spot has her fingerprints all over it not just in the workouts, ideas, events and endless projects, but in the people and the community that have grown here.

She cares deeply about this place, but even more than that, she cares about the people inside of it.
Karlee, we hope you know how much of an impact you have on the people around you. We see how hard you work. We see how much you give. We see the things you do quietly that no one else ever hears about. And we see how often you put everyone else first.

You are incredibly talented, but your talent has never been the most impressive thing about you.
It’s your heart.

We love you, Karlee. We’re proud of you, thankful for you, and very lucky we get to do life, work, workouts and all the chaos in between alongside you.

Happy Birthday to one of the very best.
