HOTWORX congratulates new franchisees, Stephanie and Mike Restivo, who were awarded 3 franchise licenses - 1 in the Johnstown-Altoona-State College market and 2 in the Pittsburgh market. They recently opened their State College, PA studio!

What originally motivated you to consider a business opportunity?‍

We have learned a great amount in our careers so far and feel that we can open and operate our own business and provide for our family, while also building something that will be around beyond our lifetime.

‍What led you to explore franchising rather than an independent business?

Opening a franchise provided the formula to ensure success. It's an opportunity to learn from others who have walked the same path and that support network is invaluable.

‍What was your initial impression of your first HOTWORX session?

This is hard - and I should have started this long before now!

‍How was your experience going through the HOTWORX Discovery Process?

All of our questions were answered honestly. We learned a great deal about a variety of topics and we had support to do our diligence as we made a decision.

‍How would you describe your Orientation Day and meeting the HOTWORX Executive Team?

Orientation Day was comprehensive and quite helpful.

‍What advice would you give to other entrepreneurs considering the opportunity to franchise with HOTWORX?

Talk to other franchisees, share your ambitions with those who are closest to you, and make sure you believe in the concept.

‍What are the top 3 reasons you chose to franchise with HOTWORX?

‍1. Proven past success and franchisor support
2. Lower overall startup costs than some others
3. Pricing structure that is competitive and will atract members

‍What excites you the most in offering HOTWORX to your community?

I'm excited that it will be the only infared sauna facility in the area and there's a good opporutnity to help the community learn the benefits..

‍What goals do you plan to accomplish in your first year as a HOTWORX franchisee?

Certainly, we want to exceed 500 members, but we also want to build an environment that our employees and members WANT to be around.

How will HOTWORX help you achieve your personal and professional goals?

The structure is there, the support is there, and it's up to us to follow the outlined steps.

Congratulations, Stephanie and Mike, and welcome to the HOTWORX team!
