Franchise Resources

There is demand for gyms everywhere across the country, but that doesn’t mean every gym will be the right fit for the market it tries to serve. One of the biggest keys for a prospective gym owner is to match the business with the market it will serve. Unlike many new businesses today, which operate online and help customers everywhere, gyms only serve those within a specific geographical area. So consider these two critical points while planning out the early stages of your new gym business.

Local Demographics Are Key

In order to use a gym frequently, members require that the gym they choose to join is in a convenient location, usually near their home or workplace. So, understanding the demographics in any area you’re considering for your business is essential. Is the local community made up of families with young kids, or are most residents single people in their 20s and early 30s? There is a big difference in what kind of gym experience those two groups desire. Both groups would have an interest in using a gym, but the type of gym that is offered should be appropriate for the target market in question. The good news is is that when you partner with a franchise, this type of consideration has already been weighed.

Evaluating the Competition

It’s unlikely that you’ll find an area that is entirely unserved by a gym – at this point, there are gyms in and around nearly every populated area. With that said, not all markets are served by the right type of facility, so you may be able to find a competitive advantage in one way or another. For instance, you might find that people in an area don’t have access to a budget gym option. This gives you the chance to open a location that has low monthly dues and basic equipment. Whatever the case, franchises research ideal locations and will guide you through the process of location selection.
