HOTWORX congratulates franchisees, Jo and Derrick Boult, who were awarded a franchise license in the Monroe-El Dorado market and recently opened their Ruston, LA (Power Water District) studio!

What originally motivated you to consider a business opportunity?
I have been a speech therapist, professor, and university administrator for over 25 years. As I approach retirement from this career, a HOTWORX franchise is the perfect transition for me. When my husband was promoted and moved back to our hometown of Shreveport, I found a HOTWORX location to keep me busy and healthy while we were apart. When I went back to Shreveport on weekends, I found I missed my HOTWORX workouts and thought, "What better way to get my workouts in than to open my own location?"

What led you to explore franchising rather than an independent business?
I have years of experience managing large budgets for large institutions. A franchise is a nice balance between increased independence and the institutional support I'm used to.

What was your initial impression of your first HOTWORX session?
I loved it. It was super hard and the benefit was insane for how much time I spent.

‍How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?
Teresa, our HOTWORX Franchise Recruiter, was consistent, professional, and made the process both informative and fun.

‍How would you describe your Orientation Day and meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team?
I love to have all the information possible before making any decision, so I loved it. It was great to celebrate at the end of the day!

‍What advice would you give to other candidates considering the opportunity to franchise with HOTWORX?
Go for it! If you think you might be interested, find out more because you never know. It could be the right fit for you. I already feel like this is one of the best decisions of my life.

‍What are the top 3 reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?
1. I want to be a part of an industry that is improving people's lives.
2. The health and wellness industry is the specific market I wanted to be a part of.
3. Although I could continue to work for someone else, it is a time in my life that increased independence is wanted and needed.

‍What excites you the most in offering HOTWORX to your community?
I'm so excited to share the health and wellness benefits with as many people in our community as possible. There is nothing else like it!

‍What goals do you plan to accomplish in your first year as a HOTWORX franchisee?
I plan to surpass averages in terms of number of members and profits.

‍How will HOTWORX help you achieve your personal and professional goals?
HOTWORX will allow me to serve the health and wellness needs of the community while increasing my financial independence so that I can spend more time doing what I love with the people I love.

Congratulations, Jo & Derrick, and welcome to the HOTWORX team!
