HOTWORX congratulates franchisees, Carrie and Corey Teague, who were awarded a franchise license in the Houston market and recently opened their Friendswood, TX studio!
What originally motivated you to consider a business opportunity?
I worked for a tanning salon chain for 20 years building a business for someone else. Upon sellout of the business, I was left wondering what my next chapter of life would hold. I had many thoughts but the main one was that I wanted to build the next business for myself and not for someone else. After stumbling into a HOTWORX, the connection was immediate. I knew this was what I have spent the past 2 years searching for and could not wait to open my own studio.
What led you to explore franchising rather than an independent business?
To be honest, I never considered a franchise before but after walking through the Discovery Process, I was intrigued by the community, the marketing and the access to building a sturdy business.
What was your initial impression of your first HOTWORX session?
WOW! I just did that, I loved that and can't wait to do it again! Nothing I have ever said when working out before!
How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?
It was great. I felt like I built a great relationship with Mandy and enjoyed our weekly meetings to dig deeper. It was a great overview of all the detailed information to come.
How would you describe your Orientation Day and meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team?
We enjoyed our Orientation Day. It was really great to meet with the whole team and hear how things work in more detail. What seemed like was going to be a very long day on Zoom turned out to be entertaining, informative and exciting for the future. The celebratory toast and chat at the end was also lots of fun and a great way to end the day!
What advice would you give to other entrepreneurs considering the opportunity to franchise with HOTWORX?
The HOTWORX franchise opportunity seems to be a great investment with a great setup for a successful business. Not to mention, it's a fun environment to spend your days being involved in.
What are the top 3 reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?
1. Success and longevity of the parent brand
2. The innovation
3. The corporate team to guide, encourage, and help along the way
What excites you the most in offering HOTWORX to your community?
The ability to provide the amazing health benefits in a boutique style environment without the feel of a big box gym.
What goals do you plan to accomplish in your first year as a HOTWORX franchisee?
Bottom line profitability, 300 members at presale, be in the top performing studios my first year, and open more studios
How will HOTWORX help you achieve your personal and professional goals?
We are looking for HOTWORX to provide an additional income, a sense of accomplishment, and to help our community reach new health and fitness goals.
