ABOUT HOT BONES

HOT BONES is an infrared movement studio and bone broth bar hybrid concept born in Detroit. 

The reason we are part boutique fitness and part health-food is simple. We are here to celebrate the foundational principles of wellness: health & wellbeing. In recent years, the wellness economy has fabricated unattainable ideals of perfectionism. Promises of self-improvement, extreme dietary restrictions, and fads from self-proclaimed influencers have made the path to a healthy and well-rounded lifestyle feel unrealistic, alienating, and exclusive. We’re here to simplify wellness and shine light on the movement practices and ancient health wisdoms of bone broth that have been passed down for generations to create an environment that ignites health and wellbeing from within. 

The studio offers yoga and Pilates classes in a cozy 85-100°F heated room. An advanced infrared heating system achieves evenly distributed warmth to mimic the healing rays of the sun and energize the body from within. Mats, equipment, and towels are provided at no cost for each guest to achieve an elevated experience — a premium no other studio in Detroit currently provides. 

A bone broth bar, located in the lobby, offers signature beef, chicken, and veggie bone broth drinks — a culinary concept that has gained immense popularity in major cities around the country. 

Together, the classes and bone broth position HOT BONES a wellness destination for health- and fitness- minded audiences. We’re dedicated to partnering and collaborating with Detroit-based brands, experts, and thought leaders, and host workshops, training, and interesting programming throughout the year.
