HOTWORX congratulates franchisees, Hayley and Chase Riker, who were awarded 3 franchise licenses in the Raleigh-Durham (Fayetteville) market and recently opened their Wilson, NC studio!
What originally motivated you to consider a business opportunity?
We have both had entrepreneurial mindsets and mentalities since we were in college. We have loved owning our own businesses and are always looking to expand our portfolio with opportunities that we believe in and love! We are currently owners of 2 Burrito Shak stores (this is a small franchise) and 2 nutrition clubs with Herbalife Nutrition! We love the concepts of both of those and we wanted to further expand our wellness portfolio with HOTWORX! Once we started talking to Patricia, we knew this was an amazing opportunity!
What led you to explore franchising rather than an independent business?
Franchising has all of the work done for you, and you get to take what is done and run with it. HOTWORX has an amazing business model.
What was your initial impression of your first HOTWORX session?
We LOVED it!! We started at HOTWORX in Raleigh back during COVID and it was amazing. We both were like, "WOW. That was intense, but we feel GREAT!!"
How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?
Our experience was amazing!! Patricia was awesome and gave us so much information!
How would you describe your Orientation Day and meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team?
It was awesome! The Executive Team showed up with amazing information and we learned a ton about the brand! It was so cool to hear from the CEO as well!! He was the perfect kick off to the day!
What advice would you give to other candidates considering the opportunity to franchise with HOTWORX?
Do your homework and you will breeze through. Make sure you ask the questions that you are unsure about!
What are the top 3 reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?
1. We LOVE the concept of infrared sauna workouts in a studio.
2. There is nothing like that within an hour of where we live and there is not much in surrounding areas either.
3. The people and the brand overall
What excites you the most in offering HOTWORX to your community?
We're most excited about helping change people's lives. We already focus on that within our community with what we currently do, so factoring in HOTWORX is going to be so good for the community!
What goals do you plan to accomplish in your first year as a HOTWORX franchisee?
Our overall goal is changing the lives of those around us in our community, and with that, we plan to continue growing and sharing about the brand.
How will HOTWORX help you achieve your personal and professional goals?
When we lived near a HOTWORX, we enjoyed working out and loved going. We cannot wait to have that here to help with our personal goals of being healthy from the inside out! As for professional goals, we plan to grow and use HOTWORX to build all of our businesses together and form a community.
