HOTWORX congratulates franchisees, Erica Weng and Lonnie Hu, who were awarded 2 franchise licenses in the Chicago market and recently opened their Downers Grove, IL studio!

What originally motivated you to consider a business opportunity?
Lonnie works in the commercial banking industry. I am a CPA with experience in various accounting fields and am currently serving as an internal auditor in the retail industry. We have always looked for business opportunities that are meaningful and also enhance quality of life.

What led you to explore franchising rather than an independent business?
We wanted to join a franchise with a well-developed business model that provides the guidance for us to start our own business.

What was your initial impression of your first HOTWORX session?
We loved the amount of sweating and the 24 hour access to the studio with semi-private sessions.

‍How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?
The HOTWORX Discovery Process was excellent. Our Franchise Recruiter, Cynthia, provided valuable information that helped us better understand the HOTWORX business. The process also boosted our confidence in the brand.

‍How would you describe your Orientation Day and meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team?
A lot of excellent information was shared during Orientation Day that made us even more excited to join the HOTWORX team.

‍What advice would you give to other candidates considering the opportunity to franchise with HOTWORX?
Try the HOTWORX workout and feel how customers like the experience. Additionally, speak to current HOTWORX owners for valuable advice.

‍What are the top 3 reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?
1. The business structure
2. The corporate culture
3. Personal experiences

‍What excites you the most in offering HOTWORX to your community?
As a working mom, I am excited to join the studio with 24 hour access, which allows me the flexibility to plan my schedule. I am sure many working mothers will have the same excitement.

‍What goals do you plan to accomplish in your first year as a HOTWORX franchisee?
Our goal is to hit the 500 member club in our first year.

‍How will HOTWORX help you achieve your personal and professional goals?
We would like maintain a close relationship with our Performance Coach to maximize the opportunity to grow our studio.

Congratulations, Erica & Lonnie, and welcome to the HOTWORX team!
