They call it 3D training. Here’s something from their website;
“Heat – When your core body temperature rises, there is an anabolic effect that speeds up your metabolism. Another heated workout advantage is that less time is required for warm ups in a heated studio.
“Infrared – Infrared energy has the effect of strengthening and activating the regenerative processes in the human body. This is why workouts in an infrared energy environment can help to accelerate workout recovery.
“Exercise – Two forms of exercise work very well inside of the HOTWORX infrared sauna- Isometrics and HIIT. With isometrics, a variety of methods can be used, such as yoga and pilates. With HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), a short 15-minute routine with a cycle or row will provide just the right amount of workout results when combined with heat and infrared energy.”

Posted on Salado Glassworks facebook page on December 18, 2019 by the owner: “Well, it’s pretty official. Salado Glassworks will continue to be at home in Salado. It’s been a tough five months, tough on my family, tough on our crew. We were ready to go, I had the lease ready to sign but I needed a little bit more time to make sure. Then, this little guy in the picture comes up to me and says, “Dad, I dont want you to go to Georgetown “. For months, we have made plans to move. He was excited about the shop moving, and most everyone in our crew was too. But he wanted to talk to me about it when we had some time together. Pretty amazing how a six year olds mind can put things into perspective. Things I had overlooked. So, with some very important advice from this six year old, I made the decision to pull the plug. Salado is our home. We can blow glass anywhere, but we can’t be Salado Glassworks anywhere else. We exist because we needed a place like Salado, and Salado needed us in 2011 when we opened. We are here to stay, and we love you all.”
Thank you Lacey, we will share!
