So, it is January 1 and you just made a New Year’s Resolution to … go to the gym every day. And, somewhere in the back of your mind, you try to erase the vague memory that you had made the very same resolution last year, the year before, and the year before that.
Then you start analyzing why you had not kept your own promise. First, you changed jobs a few years ago and it became too demanding. Second, you changed home and there are no gyms nearby. Then, the worst part, you lost your job and could not afford membership fees.
Could this be, you ask yourself, the perfect time to open my own gym? You don’t want to incur massive expenses so you would want to start small. You start inquiring about how to start a fitness studio in the extra room you have in your new domicile.
When you research further, you find out that there many health club consulting and gym consulting services that can give precious advice on how to open a gym business. One of the questions high up in your mind is how much it would cost to rent the equipment you need, should you go through a wholesale gym equipment provider or to buy a few pieces that you might need by just visiting individual sports equipment shops.
Whichever way you look at it, opening a fitness business can be good for you. The sector as a whole has shown an average 2-3 percent growth rate in the past few years and predictions are that it will continue to grow at those rates in the coming 10 years.
