HOTWORX® Expands Its Revolutionary Fitness Concept into Mexico and Latin America

HOTWORX® Takes a Bold Step into Latin America

Introduction
In a significant development for both the fitness industry and Latin America, HOTWORX®, the trailblazing 24-hour infrared fitness studio franchise, has officially entered into a Master Franchise Agreement for Mexico. This agreement, signed by Karla Ramos, a successful multi-unit franchisee from Texas, represents the franchise's first foray into the Latin American market and is a major stride towards fulfilling its global mission of accessibility in fitness.

Expansion Plans
With ambitions to unveil over 200 studios across Mexico, Ramos will spearhead operations and growth within the country. The inaugural location is anticipated to launch in Monterrey within the next few months, promising to bring its patented infrared sauna fitness experience to a new and ready audience. This milestone is set against the backdrop of growing health and fitness consciousness, reflecting a rise in demand for innovative wellness solutions in Mexico.

Karla Ramos: The Visionary Leader
Karla Ramos is no stranger to entrepreneurship. A native of Mexico City with extensive experience in international business and luxury retail, Ramos transitioned from managing luxury brands to spearheading retail operations in Texas. Her diverse background complements her passion for wellness and innovation, making her an ideal representative for HOTWORX® in Mexico.

After successfully establishing a HOTWORX studio in New Braunfels, Texas, in 2022, Ramos rapidly amassed over 500 members, and her swift success continued as she opened a second location in Laredo, reaching the 1,000-member mark—a testament to her dedication and the franchise's appeal.

A Message of Empowerment
Ramos expressed her excitement about bringing HOTWORX to Mexico, emphasizing the opportunity this presents for a new generation of entrepreneurs while also enhancing the health and wellness of the community. She stated, "From the first time I stepped into a HOTWORX sauna, I knew this was a concept that would change people's lives. Innovating and focusing on wellness is what Mexico needs right now."

Operational Strategy
The Laredo studio will not just act as a fitness center but will also serve as a training and support hub for other prospective franchisees throughout Mexico. With her operational acumen and keen understanding of the local business landscape, Ramos will work closely with the HOTWORX corporate team to ensure streamlined growth through effective marketing, sales, and franchise support initiatives.

Future Prospects and Global Strategy
The expansion into Mexico aligns with HOTWORX®’s broader international strategy to proliferate its brand globally. Following recent openings in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Canada, and Ireland, Mexico stands out as a promising market for future growth. The franchise aims to pave the way for similar expansions into additional international markets well into 2026 and beyond.

Conclusion
Stephen P. Smith, the company's Founder and CEO, highlighted the importance of this expansion, stating, "Our system's strength lies in empowering talented entrepreneurs like Karla to scale the brand globally while maintaining the consistency and innovation that set HOTWORX apart." As HOTWORX strives to reshape the fitness landscape both in the U.S. and internationally, Mexico’s introduction to infrared fitness marks a pivotal chapter in its growth story.
