HOTWORX congratulates franchisees, Sharon & Ruth Maceyak, who were awarded 3 franchise licenses in the Orlando-Daytona Beach-Melbourne market and recently opened their Melbourne, FL (Space Coast) studio!
What originally motivated you to consider a business opportunity?
There is nothing better than being your own boss. It’s a lot of work but with that work is reward.
What led you to explore franchising rather than an independent business?
We have had a history of owning businesses and inventing the wheel on our own. After watching a friend become very successful with another fitness studio franchise, we decided that a franchise might be a good idea. Following a company that has mastered a path to success, and following their guide, gives you a better chance to be successful. Plus, the support with the HOTWORX team is amazing.
What was your initial impression of your first HOTWORX session?
It was HOT but over before we knew it. We loved the variety.
How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?
Mandy was amazing to work with. Questions were always answered in a timely fashion. This was a huge jump for us and it was nerve-wracking but Mandy assured us that it was a very normal feeling to have. With every module that we completed, we became more comfortable with our decision to join HOTWORX.
How would you describe your Orientation Day and meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team?
We really wished it was face to face, but doing it online was nice because we got to meet Steve and Nancy. Overall it was very informative and calmed our fears a little more.
What advice would you give to other candidates considering the opportunity to franchise with HOTWORX?
You only live once. Read the book HOT EXERCISE by the founder and you will see why joining HOTWORX is a good investment in your future.
What are the top 3 reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?
1. Opportunity with a newer franchise
2. We loved that people were able to work out during COVID
3. There were none in our area of interest and we want to introduce this concept to as many people as possible.
What excites you the most in offering HOTWORX to your community?
We are most excited to introduce HOTWORX to the Florida Space Coast, as well as educating the community on the benefits of infrared hot exercise.
What goals do you plan to accomplish in your first year as a HOTWORX franchisee?
We plan to have over 1,000 members. I would also like to be financially comfortable to start developing our second location.
How will HOTWORX help you achieve your personal and professional goals?
1. Total financial independence with a nice retirement nest egg
2. Our physical goals and using them to set an example for all of our guests.
3. Professional goal is to be successful business owners
