The expansion of the franchise is happening at an accelerated pace because the HOTWORX 3D Training Method continues to deliver accelerated fitness results for studio members! It can be said that the rapid brand expansion is a result of RESULTS!

Growing the brand throughout Canada is important to the overall North American development strategy. As HOTWORX continues its early-stage expansion throughout Canada, we are thrilled to spotlight major progress in the Province of Quebec, a unique French and English speaking region that represents both tremendous opportunity and a vibrant energy perfectly aligned with the brand’s mission.

We are proud to announce that two dynamic and visionary entrepreneurs, Darius Zandi and Rodolph Dandan, have secured the exclusive master franchise rights for the entire province of Quebec, with an extraordinary commitment to develop 42 HOTWORX studios. This partnership marks a defining milestone in our Canadian growth journey and reflects the shared passion, discipline, and entrepreneurial drive that fuels the HOTWORX franchise worldwide.

Darius and Rodolph are already off to an impressive start, actively pursuing their first HOTWORX location in Quebec, with several additional sites currently under negotiation. To drive their expansion, The Behar Group continues to lead real estate and strategic site selection initiatives across Canada. In Quebec, they are collaborating closely with Bluuglass, the local brokerage team representing Darius and Rodolph.

The initial focus is centered within a one-hour radius of downtown Montreal, a strategic approach that prioritizes clustering early locations for maximum impact. By concentrating on suburban markets surrounding Montreal, areas rich with wellness-minded consumers, strong demographics, and female-driven retail anchors such as leading grocery chains and IKEA, the team is setting the stage for brand recognition, operational efficiency, and powerful local market penetration. Several prime sites are currently under active consideration.

At the corporate level, HOTWORX leadership is deeply engaged in guiding this expansion. Tiffany Tandecki, Vice President of Location Development, oversees the development team for site selection and construction, while Jessica Matherne, Vice President of Franchise Performance, manages a stellar team of operational coaches to ensure long-term studio success. Together with The Behar Group, Bluuglass and our Master Franchisees, this combined expertise and collaboration are fueling a powerful growth engine for Quebec.

The journey in Quebec is just beginning, but the momentum is undeniable. With a strong foundation, strategic leadership, and passionate master franchisees, HOTWORX is poised to thrive in this exciting new market and inspire a wave of fitness innovation across Canada.
