What originally motivated you to consider a business opportunity?
Flexibility. We both work full time now and while I love my teaching job, I felt ready for a change after 20 years. Cef has also been at his current job for 20 years and has fallen in love with the HOTWORX message and how it makes him and others feel. We are really looking forward to helping people live healthier lives and having more flexibility to our schedules.
What led you to explore franchising rather than an independent business?
We like that HOTWORX has a proven program. We love the infrared saunas with the use of the isometric and HIIT sessions. We are so excited to be part of a family with the same values and goals as us.
What was your initial impression of your first HOTWORX session?
We both LOVED it! Cef became super involved in his local studio, getting a part-time job and becoming close friends with the other franchisees in our state. He often travels to other locations to help when the machines need a tune-up!
How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?
Teresa, our HOTWORX Franchise Recruiter, was great! We looked forward to chatting with her every week and sharing not only HOTWORX related business, but also getting to know each other on a personal level. She loved getting updates about the grandchildren and what was going on in our lives. We felt like not just another random person, but that she really cared about who we were and what we could bring to the brand.
How would you describe your Orientation Day and meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team?
While it was great to be able to put names to faces, there was a ton of information shared that day. It's nice to know that all of that information is noted elsewhere and that we weren't expected to retain it all from that day!
What advice would you give to other candidates considering the opportunity to franchise with HOTWORX?
Do your research and ask questions!
What are the top 3 reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?
1. We love HOTWORX ourselves.
2. We believe in the program.
3. There's nothing like this available in our area.
What excites you the most in offering HOTWORX to your community?
A lot of our friends are on a journey to living healthier lifestyles. We are excited to offer them this opportunity and support them in their health and fitness goals.
What goals do you plan to accomplish in your first year as a HOTWORX franchisee?
In our first year, we want to reach 1000 members and have the ability to give back to our community.
How will HOTWORX help you achieve your personal and professional goals?
This opportunity will allow us more time to spend with our families, the flexibility of owning our own business, as well as continuing on with our own fitness goals.
