HOTWORX congratulates franchisees, Sabrina, Tony, and Gabrielle McAfee, who were awarded 2 franchise licenses - 1 in the Atlanta market and 1 in the Myrtle Beach-Florence market. They recently opened their Lawrenceville, GA studio!

What originally motivated you to consider a business opportunity?
We have a history of family entrepreneurs! Due to our entrepreneurial lineage, it was innate for us to consider a business opportunity. We wanted to continue our family legacy and create generational wealth, while simultaneously fulfilling a demand for society in respect to the type of business we pursued.

What led you to explore franchising rather than an independent business?
We love the idea of having a partnership with a franchise that has a great brand, products, and reputation among the community. We feel as though becoming a franchisee, as opposed to an independent business, allows us to be a part of something that is familiar and loved by the public, as it establishes a more credible relationship and bond between us as franchisees and our customers.

‍What was your initial impression of your first HOTWORX session?
Amazing! We loved the health benefits that came along with the infrared implementation of working out in a sauna. The fact that we could also burn more calories in a shorter time frame was also a great win for us.

‍How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?
The Discovery Process was very thorough and detail oriented! We worked alongside Nancy, who was very pleasant, professional, and precise when taking us through the process. Everything was a breeze, which made us as a family have an even bigger desire to want to work with the brand because while it was work, we felt very enriched with knowledge about the company and the benefits it could provide us as franchisees.

‍How would you describe your Orientation Day and meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team?
Orientation Day was extremely fun and knowledgeable. Meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team created a sense of a warm and friendly environment/brand. We loved gaining the information in regards to embarking a new journey as franchisees.

‍What advice would you give to other candidates considering the opportunity to franchise with HOTWORX?
Speak to as many existing owners as you can and don't be afraid to ask questions.

‍What are the top 3 reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?
1. Unique Benefits: The brand's mission of "More Workout, Less Time" is something you can't get anywhere else.
2. Being able to build connections and more awareness of health & fitness in the community.
3. You get to make a profit with a business that is also fun!

‍What excites you the most in offering HOTWORX to your community?
We're most excited about building connections and bringing awareness of health & fitness in our community. It's a passion of ours!

‍What goals do you plan to accomplish in your first year as a HOTWORX franchisee?
We would love to exceed the 500 member club and make a difference in our customers' lives health-wise.

‍How will HOTWORX help you achieve your personal and professional goals?
Personally, we get to continue our family legacy of entrepreneurs! Professionally, we get to build our network throughout the community for a great cause: health & fitness.

Congratulations, Sabrina, Tony, & Gabrielle, and welcome to the HOTWORX team!
