HOTWORX welcomes new franchisees, Anne and Mike White, who were awarded 5 franchise licenses- (2) studios in Toledo, Ohio and (3) studios in Columbus, Ohio!
What originally motivated you to consider a business opportunity?
Our son plays junior hockey at a very competitive level and discovered HOTWORX in Amarillo, TX. He was very passionate about the recovery it was providing for him in between games. I was already aware of the health benefits an infrared sauna can provide but combining it with a workout really interested me.
What led you to explore franchising rather than an independent business?
The guidance that a franchise provides really allows a business owner to tune in to their venture and maximize profitability. HOTWORX has extensive experience in this area and provides an impressive business model.
What was your initial impression of your first HOTWORX session?
Hot! I did a HIIT and a band workout and Mike did a HIIT and Core. I’m experienced in “hot” workouts and was surprised how enjoyable the dry heat was, it warmed my muscles and I never felt uneasy in it. As the day progressed, I was never sore and felt very energetic! I was hooked! Mike has never done any “hot” workouts before and was surprised that even though the room was 125 degrees, it was very tolerable.
How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?
The Discovery Process was presented in an organized fashion that allowed us to investigate and not feel rushed. Our recruiter, Nancy, was very informative, transparent and took the time to answer our questions thoroughly before we continued on to the next section.
How would you describe your Orientation Day visit and meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team?
Orientation Day at the corporate office was very detailed and we were very impressed with everyone we met! Each section that was presented throughout the day provided us with information that ensured us the HOTWORX corporate staff is dedicated to our success. The HOTWORX Executive Team was very personable, educated, and passionate about HOTWORX. It says a lot about an organization when you have longevity with your employees.
What advice would you give to other entrepreneurs considering the opportunity to franchise with HOTWORX?
Look at other areas of fitness franchises to compare the HOTWORX method to them. Talk to multiple other franchisees to feel comfortable this is a business you would like to invest in and also a culture you can relate to.
What are the top 3 reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?
1. It is a concept I believe in and feel passionate about. There are multiple businesses anyone can invest in but you need to love what you are doing to succeed.2. The overall business model, this is a cutting edge workout that has the science behind it. Coupled with an Executive Team that has a proven franchise history that is committed to helping you succeed.3.

What excites you the most in offering HOTWORX to your community?
Bringing a new concept that not only helps you look your best but can make an improvement in your overall well being with the addition of infrared energy!
What goals do you plan to accomplish in your first year as a HOTWORX franchisee?
My goals for the first year are to increase name recognition and the concept of a HOTWORX workout throughout my community. With this, we will steadily increase monthly membership and hit the 500 club by the end of our first year.
How will HOTWORX help you achieve your personal and professional goals?
Professional, HOTWORX will help me achieve my goals by providing me with a framework for a business that can provide financial success. Personally, HOTWORX will help me achieve my goals by providing a service that can help improve the overall well being with my clients.
