January 1st is creeping around the corner, and with it comes the inevitable ritual of recycling last year's resolutions. If getting more experimental with your exercise is at the top of your to-do list, we have three words for you: temperature-controlled pods, courtesy of our fitness-obsessed friends from across the equator. Angelenos can get a piece of this Argentinian workout at Santa Monica's Iobella body shaping spa, which offers the futuristic routine to ladies only. (Sorry, guys!)

Already a go-to spot for Buenos Aires A-listers, the Westside spa offers one-on-one private training on the heated machines (expect a major sweat sesh) and personalized nutrition plans—all geared towards sculpting, toning, improving endurance, and jumpstarting the metabolism without doing damage to your joints and spine. On the relaxation front, spa goers can enjoy hydrofacials and jade sauna massage beds. (Sounds amazing, right?)
