HOTWORX congratulates franchisees, Jordon Lucas and Vincent Conaty, who were awarded 3 franchise licenses in the Charlotte market and recently opened their Charlotte, NC (Steele Creek) studio!
What originally motivated you to consider a business opportunity?
We had been looking at business opportunities for a while, looking to mold our own future with a business we could grow together. We then tried HOTWORX and instantly we were hooked! The more we experienced HOTWORX and researched all the positive benefits of infrared, we started our research on becoming part of the HOTWORX family!
What led you to explore franchising rather than an independent business?
Having never owned a business before, we were attracted to the idea of implementing a successful business model while adding our personal touches to drive results.
What was your initial impression of your first HOTWORX session?
We were initially excited to try a unique style of workout as an addition to our regular fitness program. However, we were skeptical about working out in a 125-degree sauna, wondering if we could complete the workout. In the end, it turned out to be a great experience and we became fans of this new style of workout!
How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?
We really enjoyed learning about the story behind HOTWORX and the passion that has propelled them to become one of the fastest-growing franchises in the US. Teresa was incredibly helpful and provided us with all the information we needed to make an informed decision.
How would you describe your Orientation Day and meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team?
Orientation Day was extremely informative and a great way to not only meet the Executive Team but also meet other new franchisees who are going through the same steps as us. The tenure within the organization really speaks volumes to the commitment by the Executive Team. The amount of passion behind ensuring all franchisees are successful was really impactful to us.
What advice would you give to other candidates considering the opportunity to franchise with HOTWORX?
It's important to take your time and thoroughly engage in the Discovery Process by asking a lot of questions. Write down any random thoughts that come to mind and make sure to ask them later. It's also a good idea to reach out to other franchisees who are at different stages of the process. Additionally, you can visit a HOTWORX location and do a workout, as you may have the opportunity to meet the owner and ask them some questions.
What are the top 3 reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?
1. A cutting-edge workout program
2. Low labor model
3. Enhancing the reach of HOTWORX within the Charlotte, NC area
What excites you the most in offering HOTWORX to your community?
We're excited about being able to bring our community a completely new concept of the “gym” that is challenging, yet quick, and provides not only a great workout but also has numerous health benefits. We can’t wait to share the same excitement we have for HOTWORX with our members!
What goals do you plan to accomplish in your first year as a HOTWORX franchisee?
Our goal is to have 500 members within 7 weeks of opening. We aim to ensure smooth operations at the studio with happy members so that we can move forward with the expansion of HOTWORX to the next community we enter.
How will HOTWORX help you achieve your personal and professional goals?
HOTWORX is helping us achieve our dreams of owning our own business. With our hard work, dedication, and ability to follow the playbook, we can build a future we create.
