HOTWORX welcomes Dr. James Heptig, our newest franchisee, on the purchase of 3 franchise licenses in Dallas/Ft.Worth, Texas!
What lead you to explore franchise opportunities?
I have been casually looking for a franchise opportunity for several years but none seemed to appeal to me. I was looking for a business that would be profitable but would not require my presence 100 percent of the time and a business that was health related. As a chiropractor I am very busy in my clinics. HOTWORX model allows me to still be a practicing chiropractor and also have a franchise. The system drives the business, not the person. That is exactly what I was looking for and it provides the opportunity to help people reach their health and fitness goals, which is a passion of mine.
Please describe your first HOTWORX session.
I am a bit of a gym rat and have tried all types of exercise. After my first HOTWORX session, I knew I was on to something. It was very challenging and very invigorating. It was a total body workout and really challenged my core as well as my flexibility. I don't think I have ever sweat that much either. I preach all the time about the importance of core strength and flexibility. On top of that with the infrared and heat there is the added benefit of detoxing, fat burning and pain relief. I was impressed.
How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?
Bebe De Leon was my HOTWORX franchise rep. I cannot say enough good things about her. She was extremely informative and very patient with me as well. There was never any pressure put on me throughout the process. She would just make sure I had all the information I needed and answered any questions I had. Her passion and excitement for HOTWORX was very evident each time we talked.
What was your experience like meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team for Discovery Day?
I met the rest of the team at Discovery Day. Each person was informative and professional. They are definitely building a team environment. They make it seem more like a family. It is obvious that they know successful franchisees make a successful franchise.
What goals do you have in bringing HOTWORX to your market?
I am excited to get my first location open and have plans to open more. I can see HOTWORX becoming a regular part of people’s day and I am sure in the near future we will see them all over the place.
What are the top 3 reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?
I chose HOTWORX for several reasons. I like that it is a service that will better people’s lives and add to their health. I like that the HOTWORX system minimizes employee expenses. One of the main employees is a virtual instructor so it saves a lot of money. Of course, training is required but it is pretty much a push and play system. I also like HOTWORX because it is a new concept and new business. Getting in now allows you to grow with the company.
Congratulations, Dr. Heptig, and welcome to the HOTWORX family!
