HOTWORX congratulates franchisees, Sarah and Eric Douglas, who were awarded 3 franchise licenses - 1 in the Louisville market and 2 in the Cincinnati market. They recently opened their Louisville, KY (Stony Brook) studio!

What originally motivated you to consider a business opportunity?
I am a physical therapist by background and have always been passionate about health and wellness. My husband, Eric started his own financial planning firm a few years ago and I have always been entrepreneurial minded as well. Some orthopedic issues have limited my hands-on therapy and the last 5 years I have been in more corporate positions in an effort to save wear and tear on myself. I became a member at a HOTWORX studio and it's the only exercise that I am able to stick to without flaring up old injuries. I am passionate about HOTWORX and what it has done for me and thrilled to be able to offer that same opportunity to others by owning my own studios.

What led you to explore franchising rather than an independent business?
HOTWORX is the perfect blend of a well-known brand coupled with a health/fitness combo that really works and has clearly outlined a successful franchise opportunity.

‍What was your initial impression of your first HOTWORX session?
AMAZING. Instantly hooked!

‍How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?
The Discovery Process was great. We submitted the interest form and scheduled the first call, not entirely sure where it would lead. Each call kept us scheduling the next without second guessing our decision. To me, that speaks to a successful process and a very effective approach.

‍How would you describe your Orientation Day and meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team?
Exciting! We were so impressed with each person and their time, commitment, and energy for our Orientation Day.

‍What advice would you give to other candidates considering the opportunity to franchise with HOTWORX?
Submitting the inquiry form is the first step. If you don't take the leap to discover, you are missing out. The HOTWORX team truly helps walk you through each step to make you comfortable with the process.

‍What are the top 3 reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?
1. The fitness model
2. The visibility and organization of the franchise process
3. The success rate of the franchise makes it a great investment opportunity

‍What excites you the most in offering HOTWORX to your community?
HOTWORX has helped me so much by allowing me to enjoy a fitness routine that gives me immense physical and mental benefits. I am excited to spread the word and share the excitement with so many others in the community.

‍What goals do you plan to accomplish in your first year as a HOTWORX franchisee?
Our goal is to reach the 500 member club in the first 4 months.

‍How will HOTWORX help you achieve your personal and professional goals?
Professionally, it will allow me to use my networking, marketing, and management skills to grow a successful business. Personally, I'll be able to share my accomplishments with my family and invest in our future. We're excited for our kids to watch us grow a successful business together as a team.

Congratulations, Sarah and Eric, and welcome to the HOTWORX team!
