You're going to offer free tanning and juice bar but no showers in the locker room? I think showers especially coin operated ones would be a GREAT IDEA!
Dude seriously, you're going to blow so much disposable income on this money pit. If you already OWN the building why not just open up a private gym for friends and family? Throw some used machines in there and a few pieces of cardio...........hell you could have a huge indoor area where you can do some strongman type shit. That's what I think would be a really cool trend in gyms. I could imagine a huge fenced in outdoor area where guys go to do strongman stuff like log lifting, tire rolls etc. I would belong to a gym like that in a heart beat. But seriously, if you own the buiding why go to the trouble of making it a public gym? Makes no sense.
You have to understand something I WANT A GYM. I own the building. It has been empty for over 18 months. I didnt say I was going to have a free juice bar or free tanning. IT WOULD REQUIRE A PURCHASE OF A PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP. And I said I would serve beverages ie juice water energy drinks etc etc... for a fee I can run this business for 10g a month and I know I can. My wife to be my mother in law and sister in laws will be the only employees. I am offering free member ships to the local PD/FD which will in turn be free in house security. I may be open 24 hours a day depending on insurance. I am still waiting for the quote on the increased premium. Since this wasnt part of my initial plan.
I think you need to read the entire thread and maybe pay attention this time.
MY TOWN NEEDS A GYM
THERE IS NO GYM WITHIN 28KM POPULATION WITHIN 12 KM IS 100G
THERE ARE OVER 2000 HIGHSCHOOL STUDENTS AND THIS IS A FOOTBALL/HOCKEY TOWN
I OWN A 7500SQ FOOT BUILDING PREVIOUSLY A DANCE STUDIO EQUIPT WITH BATHROOMS AND CHANGE ROOMS. MAY/MAY NOT INSTALL SHOWERS
I CAN RUN THIS FOR UNDER 10G A MONTH
WITH ONLY 250 CLIENTS INCOME IS 15G WITHOUT EXTRAS IE.SUPPS/TANS/BEVERAGES/SNACKS
I AM HOPING TO HAVE 1000 CLIENTS IN 5 YEARS WHICH IS 60G A MONTH IN INCOME WITH MOST LIKELY HIGHER OPERATING COST
I AM NOT OPENING THIS FOR A OVER NIGHT PROFIT
I live in this town and my family lives in this town. My kids will be going to school here one day and I think itll be best for them to have these facilities at their disposal. Imagine what it would have been like for you to have grown up with your parents owning a gym.
And like hazbin has said once your up and going it runs itself with very little required time from him.
I dont take chances I take calculated risk. And this is a good investment.
Please try to understand I have another full time business which supports me and my family very well.
I fiqure Ill set this up before I have children at home to deal with.
