How to open your gym

The three main components of the success of the gym are its comfort, convenient location for visitors and the absence of competing establishments nearby. Add to this a skilled and "charismatic" instructor, and residents of the entire district, taking care of their health and appearance, will literally "tumble" the crowd into your gym.

You will need

• 1. Premises from 100 m2, transferred to non-residential fund and converted in accordance with a specially designed project
• 2. A set of simulators and auxiliary equipment for the hall
• 3. Several instructors with hourly wages
• 4. Administrator working on a permanent basis
• 5. Advertising media developed by professionals

Instruction manual

1

Order a redevelopment project for the premises that you have, or which you rented to equip a gym in it. The project will need to be coordinated in the city administration, in the department of architecture and urban planning, as well as in the fire inspection and the center of hygiene and epidemiology. The main requirements for a gym room are from 100 m2, a powerful ventilation system, an uninterrupted water supply system (without a shower with hot water, you will instantly lose most of your customers).

2

Make a list of the simulators with which you equip the room, while proceeding from the calculation of 5 m2 of area for one simulator. It is difficult to imagine a gym for men without a barbell, disks and stands for it, a chest muscle trainer, an inclined bench to strengthen the abdominal muscles. Companies supplying equipment for gyms provide detailed illustrated catalogs of simulators - you just have to choose the ones you would like to see in your institution.

3

Decide who will help you in the "healing" of those who want to strengthen their muscles and lose weight. One or two hourly instructors is not all that is needed to ensure the operation of the gym. At the very least, you need an administrator, and if he can not take charge of accounting, then an accountant (possibly coming). You will need to select these specialists in the most thorough way, realizing that the fate of your undertaking depends on their actions.

4

Plan a promotion that will bring information about your gym to its target audience. Most likely, the bulk of your potential customers live nearby - so the first step here should be to distribute flyers. Another move justified at this stage is the creation of pillars and extensions with the announcement of the opening of the hall, they must also be located not far from the institution itself.

Useful advice

Music or a demonstration of bodybuilding video lessons will help to create a pleasant and appropriate atmosphere in the gym - so make sure that your institution has video and audio equipment.

As additional recreational opportunities for visitors to the gym, you can organize a massage room - thanks to him, income from the institution will increase significantly.
