Starting a gym...

[iron asylum]

Has anyone ever looked into this on a serious level? Does anyone own their own? I am starting the process and think I already have some investors, but I need to put together a business plan and some projections.

Any suggestions?

Someone I know pretty closely is opening up a gym within a few months that is catering towards hardcore and powerlifting. there is nothing like this in the area and we are hoping to pull from all the existing health spas in the area. I can't stand my gym and we know there are others in the surounding areas looking for a real hardcore gym. Dumbells will be going up to 200 and it will be mostly freeweight type stuff. We will be building platforms for the powerlifters. There will be chalk, hardcore music, crush grips, chains, etc. The lease is signed and construction will be starting in a week or so. Hopefully this thing will be off the ground by June. I have to be vague about it until it's closer to fruition as to not let the other gyms in the area know about it yet. It's gonna be phefuckinominal!!
