Ever since we expanded to the super sized gym we have never been packed. A lesson there for sure. Just because you have a big gym doesn't mean thousands will show up to use it. There is a lot of competition in the gym industry in recent years. Fitness First, RSL clubs, Fernwood, Curves, Swimming pool gyms and even Branson's Virgin Active clubs are in Sydney. The pie is getting smaller every year. Sometimes I wonder if a smaller club is the way to go. Once you go large it is hard to return to the smaller club. I can't go back to being in the gym every day. I would go nuts with the questions people ask.
I had another gym in Sydney years ago and when I closed it I brought all the gym equipment to our main gym and we needed larger premises.
