On Monday, June 1st, we kick off Round 2 of the 2026 VI Competition, the Online Voting Round! During this round, HOTWORX will raise money for a good cause at $1.00 per vote and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation – Military Patient Relief Fund, an extraordinary program that provides critical financial relief to military service members and veterans battling breast cancer. It helps cover essential living and treatment-related expenses so patients and their families can focus on healing, recovery, and hope rather than financial hardship.

CLICK HERE to review the image, bio, and motivation for the Top 40 competitors and vote for the individual(s) that you think would be the best HOTWORX Virtual Instructor!

Voting will end on June 30th at 11:59pm CDT and the Top 15 will be announced on July 13th. The competitor with the most votes at the end of the Online Voting Round will win the People's Choice Award and receive an automatic spot in the Top 15, along with another 14 competitors chosen by the HOTWORX judges. The Final Round of the Virtual Instructor Competition will be hosted in conjunction with our annual franchise convention that will take place in Las Vegas, NV this year from July 24th – 30th.

Remember, our #1 goal in creating this competition is to find the Top 7 Virtual Instructors who can deliver exceptional workouts to HOTWORX members every day around the world and represent the brand for the next year!

Best of luck to the competitors!
