If I Was To Open A Gym Again…

A question I frequently get asked

So here goes, 5️⃣ things I would do if I was to open again 💪

1️⃣ Work Out The Rough Total Business Costs

As nothing else can really be fully understood if I don’t know my potential business costs

This will include my own personal take-home & expected business profits

Not to forget VAT & Tax

2️⃣ Pick The Right Business Model

The model is what will get you to the numbers from above

I never did either when we launched in Cardiff, & it almost cost me big time

Your facility size, audience & business costs should clearly show you what model is right for you

3️⃣ NICHE! NICHE! NICHE!

It’s what grew us so quickly & one thing I would do right away if I was to open again

It makes your content easier, your targeting easier, your marketing easier & most of all your sales easier

4️⃣ KPIs 😎

This has changed the game for us since introducing them into FitPro Lead Gen

The staff know what their goals are, the business knows what needs to be done

& the growth becomes a lot more predictable

5️⃣ My EXIT Strategy 👋

Or maybe my long-term goals

Your business will quickly become stagnant if you don’t have your own personal goals

If you just want to go month by month, then the motivation to grow, develop & get out of slumps becomes super difficult

By having an exit or long-term goal, everything becomes focused, KPIs get hit & profits grow quickly 💰

My 5️⃣ quick fire things I would do if I was to open again

A question for you…

What would you do differently or the same if you started again?

You got this 💪
