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.
