I hope this is the right section to post this topic.

Anyway, I am considering to start up a gym probably in 3-4 years time. The concept I have in mind is something like Jatomi Fitness or Pure Fitness Singapore. Of course I have more ideas in mind to try beat or at least match with all the well known gym.

1. Just would like to know what is the minimum capital I need to have? Equipments, Electricity, Maintanenance, Staffing etc.

2. For new gyms, what are the advertising costs?

Forgive me if I'm asking irrelevant questions because I just started working recently less than a year ago. However, I am trying to have future plans.

Thanks in advance 😬

i can hook up you with gym owner...

Hi. I will sincerely appreciate that if I can talk to them

will pm you soon..

interesting..
a lot of gym owners are selling their business on mudah.my...
and yet your interested in starting one..

with economy nowadays, it's no doubt this business will not bring much profit

yea, people are cutting back to necessities only..
My recommendation is just buy those old dance studios..
and start from there... probably cost you around 10k-50k max...

gym in KK also not doing good business.

maybe the price is just too expensive.

Small gym around RM200K

I'm thinking those home gym, with budget price still doable. As some of my friend are also moving out from those big gym to those home gym, like maybe RM50 per month..well lower profit of coz

Instead why dont u tryout nursery business?

Nursery is a necessity....

Certain areas badly need one if u research properly

Browse thru mudah business for sale

Most of it are

- restaurant/ cafe
- saloon
- laundry business
- tuition / nursery
- car wash

Then there are
- gym
- car workshop
- budget hotels

And most of the reason are
Owner migrating.

Haha..

i suggest to buy 1 of the franchise branches will be better

what will be your unique selling point? unless its a ghetto gym with already establish network of friends, it seems like quite hard to get members nowadays

alot gym closing down. u should take this opportunity buy their equipments at lower price. then ur starting costs also become very low already

Can become partner with KFIT, a new startup that allows members to come to your gym...

question: what are malaysians attitude towards gym??

and how much are they willing to pay per month??

so that means their companies are very successful and they've earned enough money to migrate??

people usually do this kind business for cuci wang.

if you are really really serious:

#1 Take down the brand of the machine you wish to carry, refer to google, send the company an email (or call them up) they will give you a price list.

#2 Find a contractor, pay him like rm 200-300 for `consultancy` bring him to the gym (tell the gym u r looking around), then ask him how much to get it up.

#3 Marketing & operational cost, take cost of #1 + #2 , double that.

Finished.

One of those industrial strength machines (threadmill, etc) costs RM20K++. Per machine.

You can get lower end ones, of course, but you put them in a gym with frequent use, they will last about 3 months, or less.

The rest, you can do the maths.

I am in the fitness industry

My view is that traditional gym and equipement will die out soon.

People are migrating towards exercising at home with those HIIT workout, or using resistance band to exercise, its cheap, high mobility, and you can do it anywhere, long gone the big, bulky, expensive home gym system. Works the same, produce the same results.

Not everyone wanna be a body builder, they just want to be not overweight, online personal training will be the future where trainer can train their client at home.

Or atleast a studio is still survival-able. Members pay the same fees to join classes, minus the need to pay for expensive equipments. But just the rent and instructor salary/ commission.

I heard anytime fitness franchise cost 1.6 to 2M. Not sure how long is the ROI.

Hi , i own my own gym center of KL . DO nudge me if you still interested in the industry .
