Meet Taryn Weiss | Franchisee and my business partner is Wanda McIntosh, Franchisee

We had the good fortune of connecting with Taryn Weiss and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Taryn, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
My business partner, Wanda McIntosh, and I have always been passionate about fitness. We learned about the concept of HOTWORX and tried out the studio in Parker. We fell in love with it and wanted to see what the business model was like. We were going to open a new studio but found out the HOTWORX Highlands Ranch studio was for sale and that made more sense financially.

What should our readers know about your business?
HOTWORX Highlands Ranch is located in the Town Center. Hotworx is a boutique fitness studio that offers a variety of workouts inside an infrared sauna. Workouts include pilates, yoga, barre, cycle, and more. The studio is available 24/7. Members receive a code that they use to get into the studio. They book their workouts on our app.

This is the first joint business I have owned with a partner. We make a great team. Wanda has a background in fitness as a certified personal trainer as well as a medical background as a registered nurse. I have a background in business, owning my own marketing consulting firm. we have learned over the past three years which areas of the business we excel in. Our skills are different so we are able to divide and conquer various tasks and aspects of the business.

One of the biggest lessons we’ve learned is that this business is all about community. We have built a family amongst our members. Its rewarding to see our members accomplish their fitness goals.

HOTWORX is like no other workout I have ever done. As a former athlete I have had a few knee surgeries as well as joint issues. The workouts offered are low impact but offer a number of health benefits because of the infrared heat. We tell people you have to try a workout in order to understand.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would take them to Red Rocks to hike the stairs then to Morrison for lunch. A day in downtown to go to the Botanical Gardens. A few days in the mountains. I own a cabin in Granby so would take them there for a few days to hike and go paddleboarding on Lake Granby.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Previous bosses in the corporate world that encouraged me to go out on my own. Coaches from sports that always encourage a lifestyle that included fitness.
