- - business plan;
- - financing;
- - premises;
- - sport equipment.
Instructions
Step 1
Write a business plan for your future fitness center. As with any new business, it is very important to consider all the basic operations here, which include financing, marketing and more. You must know what to strive for.
Step 2
Decide on funding. You will need to determine whether you will be supporting the new fitness center with your own funds or looking for investors. In addition, your plan should include projections for the first three years of operation so that you can determine how you will pay employees' salaries and have your own income.
Step 3
Determine the location of the center. If you are going to open classes such as yoga or step, then you will need at least one spacious studio. For larger demands, the selected space should have sufficient space for weight machines, cardio equipment and warm-up equipment, as well as changing rooms and showers. Make sure the building you choose can accommodate all of this.
Step 4
Purchase the equipment you need. As a business owner, you will be able to purchase everything you need at wholesale prices. Do your own research and determine the best price and necessary equipment goals. Also, make sure it comes with a warranty, as fitness equipment is always in active use and will need periodic repairs.
Step 5
Hire employees. When interviewing candidates for the position of trainers or fitness mentors, make sure they have a solid background in exercise and fitness. You will also likely need customer service personnel and the entire premises.
Step 6
Start running your business. Come up with special opening deals and discounts to attract customers.
