It is fashionable to be healthy and athletic, which is why interest in sports clubs is growing. You can open both a highly specialized sports club (strength, for men) and a multifunctional one. It depends on your material capabilities and desires. In any case, the opening of a sports club presupposes the development of the concept of such a club and obtaining the necessary permits for it.
It is necessary
premises (size varies by club), government registration and approvals, equipment and personnel, and advertising
Instructions
Step 1
All sports clubs can be divided into narrow-profile (only for children or only for women) and multifunctional, in which you can engage in pumping up muscles, and dancing, and swimming. In the first case, you will need a small room (for several rooms). In the second, it will be more profitable for you to rent a separate building and make repairs in it, since a multifunctional club will need at least 8 halls.
Step 2
Develop a concept for your club. Will it be massive or elite? What kinds of sports can you do with you? For those who cannot do it themselves well, it is better to use the services of fitness consultants who will tell you what is in greatest demand, and also help you choose an architectural project (if you are going to build a building) and equipment for the club.
Step 3
As an entrepreneur, you will need to go through state registration (create a legal entity), as well as agree on the project of the club in the architectural management and the management for the improvement of the district (city) administration, fire authorities, sanitary and epidemiological stations. You will also need to conclude agreements on water and electricity supply. All this can take up to a year.
Step 4
For a sports club, you will need equipment - simulators. There should not be few of them, however, it is also not worth installing too many: if the club is crowded, then customers will feel discomfort. To get started, buy the most basic equipment needed for the sports that will be presented in your club. Do not forget about the music center, as it is hardly pleasant to play sports in silence.
Step 5
The staff is of the utmost importance to the new club. Inexperienced trainers, with whom classes are held without tangible benefits, can deprive you of clients. So try to hire coaches with experience. Besides them, you will need an accountant and an administrator.
Step 6
An advertising campaign should be thought out in advance. Use all possible sources: flyers offering a trial lesson at a discount, signs about the imminent opening of the club, billboards. After your club starts working, clients will bring their acquaintances - word of mouth will start working.
