HOTWORX congratulates franchisee, Sandra Brown, who was awarded a franchise license in the Dayton market and recently opened her Dayton, OH (Centerville) studio!

What originally motivated you to consider a business opportunity?
I am a physical therapist and two of my children joined HOTWORX studios in the states where they live. They were so excited and suggested I open one of my own. There are no studios in my area. I immediately thought it was a great idea and started talking with Teresa Normand, my HOTWORX Franchise Recruiter.

What led you to explore franchising rather than an independent business?
I love working with people and am highly motivated to help others. I am very happy to have the support of HOTWORX and follow their business model. I think the support HOTWORX provides will enable me to focus on the people aspect of the studio.

‍What was your initial impression of your first HOTWORX session?
I had a 2 week old injury that was really limiting my function. My pain was 85% gone the day after my session. I felt great and SO much better.

‍How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?
My Discovery Process was full of ups and downs. I am single and live on 8 acres, also working full time as a physical therapist. I had a strong desire to start a studio, but I had serious doubts about my abilities. Teresa was very patient and informative. Her encouragement is the reason I followed through with my dream!

‍How would you describe your Orientation Day and meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team?
Orientation Day made me feel like HOTWORX is a tight knit group and very supportive of each other. I felt more confident as the process was explained and I met the HOTWORX Executive Team.

‍What advice would you give to other candidates considering the opportunity to franchise with HOTWORX?
HOTWORX has been the most exciting thing I have done in years. I feel sure that my investment in the corporation will bring so much joy.

‍What are the top 3 reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?
1. I love to help people and I fully believe in the healing powers of infrared combined with exercise.
2. I want others to experience that.
3. I am excited about the lifestyle change and the opportunity to be part of the fitness industry.

‍What excites you the most in offering HOTWORX to your community?
I am most excited to watch the Dayton, Ohio community get to experience HOTWORX. My studio is the flagship studio in the region.

‍What goals do you plan to accomplish in your first year as a HOTWORX franchisee?
I would like to have 300+ members for my soft open and close the year at 600 members.

‍How will HOTWORX help you achieve your personal and professional goals?
I love people and I love helping people. I feel that HOTWORX will enable me to reach people and help them on more than their fitness journey. I am hoping my HOTWORX studio will be a place of happiness for members and employees. I hope that it will be a place where everyone feels welcome, accepted, and supported as they strive to meet their personal goals.

Congratulations, Sandra, and welcome to the HOTWORX team!
