HOTWORX congratulates franchisees, Jill Parker & David Bowles, who were awarded 3 franchise licenses in the Charlotte market and recently opened their Cornelius, NC (Bailey Rd) studio!
What originally motivated you to consider a business opportunity?
Jill was motivated by her love of fitness and helping others live a healthier life. With over 20 years of experience as a dental hygienist, she has been helping others live healthier for two decades. David is an entrepreneur at heart and has been operating his own businesses since 2010. His experience in banking, real estate, and the fitness world made HOTWORX an excellent fit. Both Jill and David come from entrepreneurial families. Jill's family operated the first organic dairy farm in NC and David's family owned their own automotive business.
What led you to explore franchising rather than an independent business?
HOTWORX has a wonderful business model and provides a proven model for success. We felt no need to reinvent the wheel. Having owned independent businesses in the past, we believe the power of the HOTWORX brand and the business plan expedite our path to profitability.
How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?
Mandy Verges made our Discovery Process very enjoyable. She had answers to almost all of our questions and if she was ever unsure, she took time to research the question and give us the correct information. There was a lot of new information so Mandy's patience and willingness to discuss questions more than once made us very comfortable and more confident.
How would you describe your Orientation Day and meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team?
Meeting the Executive Team on Orientation Day was a great experience. It's nice to meet the individuals that will help make our business a success. Everyone had a unique perspective and provided critical information about what it means to be a part of HOTWORX and what it will look like moving forward.
What advice would you give to other candidates considering the opportunity to franchise with HOTWORX?
We would encourage other candidates to take discovery seriously and ask lots of questions.
What are the top 3 reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?
1. The prompt nature in which HOTWORX responds to inquiries.
2. HOTWORX is still a growing brand with a lot of untapped potential.
3. HOTWORX has no direct competitor at this time.
What excites you the most in offering HOTWORX to your community?
We are most excited to offer our community a new, innovative way to stay fit and live a healthier life. We love the variety that HOTWORX provides with its many session offerings.
What goals do you plan to accomplish in your first year as a HOTWORX franchisee?
In our first year, it is our goal to get our monthly draft to $40,000 per month.
How will HOTWORX help you achieve your personal and professional goals?
HOTWORX will help us diversify our investment portfolio within an industry we both love and are passionate about. As it becomes a profitable business for our family, it will allow us to travel more and spend more time together.
