How to organize a sports club

Being healthy and athletic is fashionable, so interest in sports clubs is growing. You can open both a highly specialized sports club (power club for men) and a multifunctional one. It depends on your material capabilities and desires. In any case, the opening of a sports club involves the development of the concept of such a club and obtaining the necessary permissions for it.

You will need

premises (the size depends on the club), registration and permits of state bodies, equipment and personnel, as well as advertising.

Instruction manual

1

All sports clubs can be divided into narrow-profile (only for children or only for women) and multi-functional, in which you can engage in muscle building, 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.

2

Design your club concept. What will it be - mass or elite? What kinds of sports can you practice? For someone who can’t do it well himself, it’s 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 will build a building) and equipment for the club.

3

You, as an entrepreneur, will need to go through state registration (create a legal entity), as well as agree on a club project in the architectural and beautification administrations of the district (city) administration, fire authorities, and sanitary and epidemiological station. It will also be necessary to conclude agreements on water and electricity supply. All this can take up to a year.

For a sports club you will need equipment - simulators. They should not be few, but too much to install is also not worth it: 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 at your club. Do not forget also about the music center, since playing sports in silence is hardly pleasant.

5

Of great importance to the new club is the staff. Inexperienced trainers, with whom classes are held without tangible benefits, can deprive you of clients. Therefore, try to hire trainers with work experience. In addition to them, you will need an accountant and an administrator.

6

An advertising campaign should be thought out in advance. Use all possible sources: flyers with a trial lesson offer, signs about the opening of the club, billboards. After your club starts working, clients will bring their friends - word of mouth will begin to work.
