Hello.I am looking at starting up a personal trainer s gym in the next 2 months or so.Basically i know where i wanto go and where to expand i just got to get your opinion on what are some things i need to do.Rent of Buy Equipment:Do you think i should rent or buy equipment,What do you think are the items i need, i dont want to have all machine weights, basically i want it old school with a part of new school, so bench, leg press, squat rack, dips, boxing bags, what else you think would be neededFlooring:As i am renting out a location do you think that it would be best to buy specialized flooring, but something easy to move somewhere else maybe a type of those jigsaw mats.Cost:What costs do you think would be involved in basically getting it up and running, ie building rent, equipment, advertising etc.I will be doing it all myself as its going to be a quiet location where people who arent comfortable to get out there, or who are beginning or someone who wants to come to a gym workout hard. Basically going to be there to motivate them, spot them, show them correct techniques etc.Also if i buy a commercial fridge etc do i have to lock in a contract with a drink business or can i buy my own stuff like bottled water, protein shakes etc and charge what i want, within reason ?Also on that topic would i be allowed to have protein there for customers to use say if they are on a bulk and charge say $1 - 2 per shake or is that illegal ?Any help will be appreciated
youll need insurance incase anyone gets hurt
First, you need to have a door and open it. Then it s open. Also, do you have a business plan? When do you expect to break even and make money? Will you have employees and how do you plan on paying their wages? If not, then are you prepared to give up everything in your life and start working 18hr days?
So basically you want to become a sole-trader but have no idea to run a business. I wouldn t waste your time to be honest.
you have to live around a lot of fat people! make lots of money... they will buy a years membership and show up once
