If you want to own a gym there is a lot of work involved everyday and you cannot leave it to be ruined runned by employees.

My 2 cents.

we don't operate businesses, we build and sell....gym is something new for us. Looking at it, so far on the fence.

Rules for a successful gym

all personal trainers must be very skinny
no tight fitting clothes on men and women
have a fast food bar selling fries pizza etc.
no free weights only machines
no dumbbells over 50 pounds
music should be soft and relaxing not very loud.

A none intimidating name e.g. relax fitness.

Can you be more specific, each of those topics is very complex.

First question for you is what market are you after?
Mainstream, athletes, strength crowd, personal training studio?

Are you going to do a turn-key, with all equipment in place, or just do the buildout?

Silk just opened one this year. Looks like a great gym. We will be expanding to about 4000sqft after my lease is up with the current one but mine is private. Tony or Hazbin would probably give the best answers, but always start with a business plan.

I nor I fathom coach or tony can truly relate to what u r saying. A gym is no ez business. We r doing great n plan to expand in the fall. But I would never go in to a business with the notion of flipping it. Well a gym at least. Now u may end up selling it but I don't do anything I don't have a passion for. The gym is my passion n judging by coaches n Tony's gym id say its their passion too. Like I said I'm not saying if the gym outlasts me I won't sell it. Just saying a gym is a shitload of work n it takes dedication to make it work. I couldn't be that dedicated to a flip.

I build and sell businesses, 70-80% are coin laundries. My interest is filling my real property, selling off the businesses and retaining rent and the financing, nothing more.

What I am interested in is setting up a cookie cutter gym so I am looking for mainstream gym info....

The best gym concept by far for you is to think about a budget gym model.  Look at what they do and then see if the location is suitable.  The idea is that they require very little work to run versus a specialist / full scale operation.

I really like the idea of a gym you walk into with a swipe card, minimal staff, low low cost to both consumer and operator...

And I own gyms but not like these ones.  I wish I did because I think it would make for an easier life and a more scaleable business.
