HOTWORX welcomes new franchisees, Alexis and Dennis Richard, who were awarded 4 franchise licenses in the Lafayette, LA market and are currently in Presale at their Youngsville, LA studio!
What originally motivated you to consider a business opportunity?
The first time we went to HOTWORX a year ago, we loved the workout immediately and after going almost everyday for a few weeks my dad thought it could be a great business opportunity for both of us because we loved going so much. My dad recently retired after selling his tire company which he owned and operated for over 40 years and was looking for other things to invest his time and energy into. I work in the film industry so I have chunks of time when I'm not working after a film wraps and was looking for something when I'm not on a film.
What led you to explore franchising rather than an independent business?
My dad has been in independent business for his entire life and was interested in franchising after he retired. The franchise, unlike independent, business offers a proven model for success.
What was your initial impression of your first HOTWORX session?
My sister took us to our first HOTWORX session so we really didn't know what to expect and our impression was it was challenging but after we felt so accomplished.
How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?
We enjoyed learning about HOTWORX, talking to Cynthia every week, and talking to other Franchisees about their experience as well.
How would you describe your Orientation Day and meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team?
Orientation Day was very thorough and comfortable because it was virtual. The Executive team was very knowledgeable and has a lot of girl power.
What advice would you give to other entrepreneurs considering the opportunity to franchise with HOTWORX?
Our advice for other candidates is to call other franchisees and ask them about their experience. We found that very helpful and reassuring.
What are the top 3 reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?
1. We believe in the sauna workout concept.
2. The franchise discovery process is enjoyable.
3. The Executive team is experienced in guiding you through the franchise process.
What excites you the most in offering HOTWORX to your community?
It will be a new exciting workout for the community.
What goals do you plan to accomplish in your first year as a HOTWORX franchisee?
Our goals for the first year are to get 500 members in the first six months, connect with other franchisees at the convention, and look forward to growing the franchise.
How will HOTWORX help you achieve your personal and professional goals?
HOTWORX provides us with the model to become successful business owners. On a personal note we hope to promote and provide healthy workouts for members of the community we operate in.
Congratulations, Alexis & Dennis, and welcome to the HOTWORX team!
