There are several key criteria to consider when calculating the cost of owning a gym. If you know all of the included costs ahead of time, you will be able to plan accordingly in order to maximize your profits.

Location

Location will likely be the largest cost of owning a gym but will also be the biggest factor in gaining foot traffic and potential customers. Rent mainly depends on where you plan on opening a gym; the cost of opening a gym in downtown Los Angeles will be significantly higher than the cost of opening a gym in the surrounding suburbs. In order to make the right decision, you need to balance out the rental cost with the location in the city. Another item to consider related to location is the demographics you want to target for your gym. If you are considering opening a gym…

Financing Opportunities for your Gym

You can’t execute your vision for your gym if you don’t have the financial resources needed to implement it: this is a simple truth for every gym owner across the industry. It takes capital to transform vision into reality, and in most cases, the bank across the street from you may not be your best option. In fact, given the strict nature of bank lending over the past decade, it may not be an option at all. Most small- and medium-sized gyms and fitness centers struggle to secure funding needed for acquisition, growth or working capital needs. Gym owners are focused on the day-to-day challenges of running their club, and it can be very difficult and time-consuming to survey a vast array of lending options to identify one that can actually be secured.

And it is the role of Fitness Management & Consulting to connect you with a lend…
