HOTWORX congratulates franchisee, Gretchen Wirth, who was awarded a franchise license in the Dallas-Fort Worth market and recently opened her Aubrey, TX (Providence Village) studio!
What originally motivated you to consider a business opportunity?
I just retired from a Fortune 15 technology company and I've always wanted to own my own business. I've researched franchises over the years and finally found HOTWORX to be the right match for me.
What led you to explore franchising rather than an independent business?
With limited experience in small business and start-ups, I know the structure and proven results of a successful franchise will increase my odds of overall success!
What was your initial impression of your first HOTWORX session?
I thought it was an amazing workout and I was surprised as to how much I loved working out in the heated environment!
How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?
I worked with Mandy Verges and she was extremely knowledgeable. Her experience in franchising allowed her to guide me through the process and she was very patient as I analyzed everything and made the exciting decision on HOTWORX as my second and final career!
How would you describe your Orientation Day and meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team?
Orientation Day was well organized and gave a clear overall picture of each department and how we will interact in this journey together. It was time well spent and the day flew right by!
What are the top 3 reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?
1. The structure and operational excellence of the organization is a recipe for success!
2. Only great things can happen as we go through this growth mode.
3. New franchisee support is unwavering.
What excites you the most in offering HOTWORX to your community?
I can't wait to help people with super busy lifestyles get, stay, and maintain better health and fitness results! Greeting clients and watching their journey will be extremely fulfilling!
What goals do you plan to accomplish in your first year as a HOTWORX franchisee?
My number one goal is to create an inviting culture for clients and my new employees, a place where people want to come and bring their friends and feel a sense of accomplishment when they leave! Creating that environment will bring strong organic growth and success to the business.
How will HOTWORX help you achieve your personal and professional goals?
The proven track record of HOTWORX will undoubtedly assist in my desire to be a very successful small business owner! I'm excited about this next chapter in my career and can't wait to celebrate success with my new HOTWORX family!
