HOTWORX congratulates franchisees, Jeremy and Tricia Boccabello, who were awarded a franchise license in the Charleston, SC market and recently opened their Charleston, SC (West Ashley) studio!

What originally motivated you to consider a business opportunity?
We have always had an entrepreneurial mindset and have built businesses in different industries. We were looking for a business opportunity that aligned with our personal passions—health, fitness, and wellness—while also offering a strong financial model and a scalable system.

We have experience in real estate development and self-storage, as well as risk management and national security consulting in Washington, D.C. Our background has given us a strong foundation in business strategy, operations, and risk analysis.

What led you to explore franchising rather than an independent business?
While we were initially considering opening an independent hot yoga studio, we quickly realized that HOTWORX had already solved many of the challenges we anticipated—scalability, operational efficiency, and a proven business model. The support, technology, and brand recognition of HOTWORX offered a lower-risk, higher-reward approach compared to starting from scratch.

‍What was your initial impression of your first HOTWORX session?
I was immediately impressed by the efficiency and effectiveness of the workout. As someone who has practiced hot yoga for over a decade, I knew the benefits firsthand, but the addition of infrared heat and isometric workouts took it to another level. It was intense, time-efficient, and exactly the kind of fitness solution I had been looking for.

‍How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?
The Discovery Process was thorough and well-structured. We appreciated the transparency in financials and expectations, as well as the one-on-one support from the Franchise Development team. Each step helped us gain more confidence in the opportunity and the leadership behind the brand.

‍How would you describe your Orientation Day and meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team?
Orientation Day was a great opportunity to meet the executive team and other franchisees. We were impressed by the level of professionalism and commitment to franchisee success. It reinforced our confidence that we had made the right decision.

‍What advice would you give to other candidates considering the opportunity to franchise with HOTWORX?
Do your homework, ask a lot of questions, and make sure you fully understand the financial model and operational requirements. If you’re passionate about fitness and business, and you’re willing to follow a proven system, HOTWORX is a great opportunity.

‍What are the top 3 reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?
1. Strong business model – A scalable, technology-driven concept with recurring revenue.
2. Alignment with our passions – We believe in the power of infrared fitness and wanted to bring it to our community.
3. Corporate support & track record – A well-established franchise with a strong track record of success.

‍What excites you the most in offering HOTWORX to your community?
HOTWORX is more than just a gym—it’s a revolutionary fitness concept that allows people to maximize their workout results in less time. We are excited to introduce a time-efficient, science-backed fitness option to our community that will help people achieve their health and wellness goals.

‍What goals do you plan to accomplish in your first year as a HOTWORX franchisee?
• Build a strong membership base, hitting 500+ members as quickly as possible.

• Establish our HOTWORX location as the go-to fitness studio in the area.

• Focus on customer experience and retention to ensure long-term growth.

‍How will HOTWORX help you achieve your personal and professional goals?
HOTWORX allows us to combine our business expertise with our passion for fitness, creating an opportunity that is both financially and personally fulfilling. It also gives us the chance to be more involved in our local community while growing a scalable and sustainable business.
