Rent is the biggest fixed check most gym owners write every month — and it charges full price for every square foot, used or not. Plug in your numbers to see what your empty space is costing you each year, how much of every member’s dues goes straight to rent, and how many more members your gym can hold before it feels full.

The Cost of Empty Space Calculator
Rent is most gyms' biggest fixed cost — and it charges you the same for the square footage nobody's using. See what your unused space is costing you, and how many members your gym can still hold.
A common planning rule of thumb: how much facility space supports each member on your roster before the gym feels full at peak times. Pick the feel you sell.
"Used" space = members × your chosen sq-ft-per-member standard, a planning rule of thumb — your actual peak-time feel depends on layout and equipment mix. Rent on empty space = rent × the unused share of your floor. For guidance only — your numbers are never sent or stored.
