A spot at Heated Haleiwa (heatedhaleiwa.com), a new heated fitness studio on the North Shore, has been the hottest ticket in town since opening earlier this year, with waitlists for almost all classes. The studio utilizes far infrared heat therapy, which helps with recovery, detoxification, increased fat burn, better sleep, and skin health. The workouts range from low-impact, Pilates-inspired routines for stretch and toning to high-impact HIIT workouts focused on cardio and strength training. Owner Chien Jardine-Winter is a vision of fitness herself, and gained a cult-like following as an instructor at another fitness studio before opening Heated Haleiwa. “I wanted to incorporate heavier weights into a group fitness class and build something that reflected my vision for a balanced workout experience,” she explains. She trained five other instructors in her method, and together, they run the popular studio. “Our classes are designed to build muscle, burn fat, and boost metabolism while creating an experience that’s both effective and fun. Plus, everything is driven by music, which keeps the energy up and makes the workouts something people actually look forward to,” she adds. “My goal is to help people fall in love with fitness and discover the joy it can bring to their lives.”
