HOTWORX welcomes new franchisee, Melissa Rabuck, who was awarded 2 franchise licenses in the Houston market and is currently in Presale at her Cypress, TX (Barker Cypress Rd) studio!
What originally motivated you to consider a business opportunity?
Originally, I was looking for an opportunity that could add to our income for future savings and early retirement, but it was also crucial that I found something I was passionate about. It took quite some time to find HOTWORX, but I knew it would be a perfect fit after inquiring and receiving the initial information. My current job is as an Account Executive, which is heavily dependent on sales, so in this current economic downslide, HOTWORX offers a nice balance.
What led you to explore franchising rather than an independent business?
I actually did explore starting an independent business as well, but after weighing out the pros and cons to each it was a no brainer for me. I thrive on structure and HOTWORX offers just that, plus an amazing brand that has already been created for me. HOTWORX will allow me to grow our business, while still maintaining my current career and not sacrificing on family time.
What was your initial impression of your first HOTWORX session?
I was a HOTWORX member before I ever looked into franchise info. I was hooked my first session and signed up immediately! I could not wait to come back for more!
How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?
I learned so much and got a real feel for the company culture through my Discovery Process. Teresa was so knowledgeable and thorough. I put her through some pretty intense questions and scenarios, but she was ready for it all! She was eager to get answers for me right away if ever I did stump her!
How would you describe your Orientation Day and meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team?
Although I would have loved to meet them all in person, the Executive Team was amazing. Each department spent a lot of time with the attendees and they are truly experts in their field.
What advice would you give to other entrepreneurs considering the opportunity to franchise with HOTWORX?
Take the first steps and reach out for more information. The initial conversations are very casual, and you have got nothing to lose! You will not regret it!
What are the top reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?
1. The structure of the HOTWORX franchise is what really piqued my interest in the brand. Nothing is left to question and the live support behind the checklists is amazing. They really have thought of everything!
2. The ease of the HOTWORX platform was so appealing…I love the low overhead costs, low inventory costs, 24-hour access, and virtual instructors that will NEVER be late for our members!
What excites you the most in offering HOTWORX to your community?
I am so eager to introduce the HOTWORX brand and technology to my market. Helping members achieve their goals and seeing results (especially the way I have) will be so rewarding!
What goals do you plan to accomplish in your first year as a HOTWORX franchisee?
I am fully confident we will reach our 500 members goal within 6 months.
How will HOTWORX help you achieve your personal and professional goals?
Most importantly, this is a huge opportunity to connect with my community on both a business and personal level.
