HOTWORX congratulates franchisees, Robin and Donny Pritzlaff, who were awarded 3 franchise licenses in the New York market and recently opened their Garwood, NJ (North Ave) studio!
What originally motivated you to consider a business opportunity?
As our daughters are growing older, we realized that we have much more time on our hands and we wanted to make an impact on our community, as well as build a business that our family can expand upon in the future.
What led you to explore franchising rather than an independent business?
Knowing that HOTWORX has a proven system of workouts with patented infrared saunas made it easy for us to want to follow their system rather than branching off and doing something on our own.
What was your initial impression of your first HOTWORX session?
My first HOTWORX sessions were incredible. I left wanting to go back for more because of the tough workouts, but unfortunately there were zero HOTWORX studios near us so that was the catalyst for us to open our own business.
How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?
Early on in the process with Mandy, we became very comfortable with the streamlined concept of the business and we were impressed with the long history of so many of the employees. Going through the modules on a weekly basis made it simple for us to move forward with our commitment.
How would you describe your Orientation Day and meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team?
We enjoyed hearing from the executive staff and the other candidates that were onboarding. It was fast-paced and informative, while putting us at ease as we received a clear message about the HOTWORX brand.
What advice would you give to other candidates considering the opportunity to franchise with HOTWORX?
If you are not a rule follower, this franchise is not for you. There is a strict system that has produced success, so staying on course is paramount.
What are the top 3 reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?
1. At this point in time, there is nothing like the HOTWORX model in our area.
2. Because of the 30+ years of experience from the executive staff and their invested approach to our success.
3. We are entering a different stage in our lives so we decided to challenge ourselves and strive to succeed at the highest level.
What excites you the most in offering HOTWORX to your community?
It is exciting to bring a new and innovative product to our friends and families, as well as the community, where we can make an impact in many people's lives.
What goals do you plan to accomplish in your first year as a HOTWORX franchisee?
We plan to be on the stage accepting awards at the 2024 HOTWORX convention!
How will HOTWORX help you achieve your personal and professional goals?
It will be professionally fulfilling when we have the studio running on all cylinders and we are extremely profitable. Personally, working through the daily processes of getting the business up and running is gratifying and challenging in its own way. Each part of the process has been rewarding thus far.
