HOTWORX welcomes new franchisees, Rob & Ellen LaVielle and Stacy Ryan, with their purchase of 3 franchise licenses in Tampa, FL!
What lead you to explore franchise opportunities?
Rob was the first to discover HOTWORX. He enjoys a heated workout and sauna experience and he stumbled onto HOTWORX online. He loved the concept so much that he bought a unit and put it at his Crossfit Box. Ellen became a huge fan of the workouts and brought Stacy along one day to try it, they both became instantly hooked. The three of them decided Tampa Bay needed to be introduced to the HOTWORX concept and therefore began researching the company and finding out more about the franchise opportunity.
Can you describe your first HOTWORX experience?
Amazing and challenging! We may have had to step out once or twice during our initial use. It is so satisfying! There’s nothing else like it. The sweat and detox make you feel great for the entire day.
How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?
Bebe held our hand throughout the process. We were excited (and a bit scared) and Bebe made sure we got the answers to all our questions.
What was it like attending Discovery Day and meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team?
Discovery Day was incredible. We learned more about the HOTWORX playbook for success, met the knowledgeable staff and had all our remaining questions answered. We were all impressed and couldn’t wait to get back to Tampa and get the ball rolling!
What advice would you give to other entrepreneurs considering the opportunity to franchise with HOTWORX?
We would advise to go for it! Our team truly believes in the product and the guidance and continued support from the “home office.” We feel fortunate to be bringing something new and exciting to the Tampa area.
What are the top 3 reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?
1. Belief in the product2. Belief that the franchise will be financially successful3. We wanted to be the first to introduce HOTWORX to our community
What goals do you have in bringing HOTWORX to your market?
We want to be the buzz around town when we start our pre-sale. South Tampa, where we plan on having our first studio, is a small, close-knit community and most are firm believers in a good workout. HOTWORX is so unique and will be the only game in town for this type of activity, the energy will be incredible. We want to be a profitable business and create a successful franchise by increasing/maintaining membership while providing a rewarding and unique fitness opportunity for our clients.
What are you most excited for in your first year as a HOTWORX franchisee?
We are excited for Tampa to fall in love with infrared workouts like we all did! We cannot wait to get all three of our studios up and running and spreading the health news about this type of workout.
Congratulations, Rob, Ellen & Stacy, and welcome to the HOTWORX family!
