Fitness Center

[CaseyB]

Hello everyone,

i am fresh out of business school and am now working in the oil fields in order to make enough money to open up my own fitness center/health food and supplement store. I am just wondering what kind of capital would be considered a good amount to start one on. I don't want a mickey mouse fitness center either I have a vision i need to fill. Saving the capital is no issue, i just want to figure out a time frame for myself, whether it be 1 year or 5 years until i am able to open. Any other advice on opening a fitness center would be greatly apprectiated as well.

Thank you

I believe www.adamdudley.com (occasionally spams the forums ) opened up a chain of gyms not too long ago, perhaps try getting into contact with him for some advice.

You've posted this in two forums, isn't one enough?

it can cost anywhere from a few hundred thousand to millions..you have to research what kind of facility u want, what kind of amenties, are you goin to build from scratch or lease,etc...take a look at what the franchises are estimating costs at..this information is readily available

Loaded with possibilities. It depends on what you want, How much does YOUR vision cost? its up to you could be very costly. Id save up a few hundred thousand and write a great business plan shop it around for seed money and show how much you have saved to show your serious about your project.
