HOTWORX congratulates franchisees, Adeline and Sean Burke, who were awarded 2 franchise licenses in the Paducah-Cape Girardeau-Harrisburg market and recently opened their Cape Girardeau, MO (North) studio!

What originally motivated you to consider a business opportunity?
Sean owns a few brands in the hunting industry and has been self-employed for a few years now. His background in sales, graphic design, and e-commerce marketing have made entreprenuership natural for him. Adeline is currently raising our two boys (2 under 2!) and looking forward to taking on more as a franchise owner. Her background is in sales, finance, and human resources. We are already full-time business owners and wanted to bring something new & beneficial to our small town community.

What led you to explore franchising rather than an independent business?
We originally considered franchising while sitting at our favorite brewery/sourdough pizza spot. We were moving and wanted to open one in our new community. Once we started talking with them, we realized franchising may be the next business move for us. We've already built businesses from scratch and love the idea of joining an organization that already has it all figured out!

‍How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?
We had a great experience with Patty, our HOTWORX Franchise Recruiter! She was willing to meet with us multiple times a week and on the weekend for us to be ready for Orientation Day by year-end. We appreciated how the modules laid out all the details in a simple and engaging format. Patty gave many real-life examples and stories that really helped us see the full picture and know what to expect!

‍How would you describe your Orientation Day and meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team?
Orientation Day was very exciting! We enjoyed having many other future franchisees on the call to gather other perspectives. Steve was on vacation in Aspen and still joined, which was motivation in and of itself. We also loved hearing that many executives and employees also own franchises, proving they believe in the business! Knowing many have worked for HOTWORX for 10-20+ years and still have a passion was amazing to see.

‍What advice would you give to other candidates considering the opportunity to franchise with HOTWORX?
Go for it! It may just be a life-changing and community-enhancing opportunity!

‍What are the top 3 reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?
1. They really seem to have it all figured out and offer that knowledge as support.
2. We believe the benefits of infrared saunas combined with exercise will be a no-brainer sell to our customers.
3. We personally want one in the town we live in, so why not do it ourselves?!

‍What excites you the most in offering HOTWORX to your community?
We're excited to offer a proven boutique gym with quick and effective workouts and the health benefits of infrared saunas. There is nothing else like it!

‍What goals do you plan to accomplish in your first year as a HOTWORX franchisee?
Our goal is to hit 500+ members and begin site selection for our second location!

‍How will HOTWORX help you achieve your personal and professional goals?
We as a family want to own multiple businesses while still able to spend as much time as possible making memories and raising our kids. We believe owning a HOTWORX aligns with those goals!

Congratulations, Adeline & Sean, and welcome to the HOTWORX team!
