Open Your Own Fitness Studio, Health Club, or Gym

Imagine owning a fun and financially rewarding business helping people get and stay healthy, strong, and fit. You can when you open a fitness club.

About a Career as a Fitness Club Owner

Opening a fitness club (also known as an athletic club, exercise studio, fitness center, gym, health club, personal training studio, or workout center) lets you own a creative and exciting business in a recession-resistant industry.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the outlook for the fitness industry is excellent as increasing numbers of baby boomers join fitness clubs to get fit and stay healthy.

When you open your fitness club, you have the luxury of designing the type of fitness center, health club, or gym that you want, and provide the types of services and products you want.

You can open a fitness club offering exercise facilities and classes to all types of clients, or you can open a fitness center that caters to a select type of client, such as older adults, young people, women only, men only, professional athletes, or people with special physical needs.

Your fitness center can have cardio and strength equipment for members to use during club hours. You can choose to offer services such as personal training or massage, cardio classes such as aerobics or kick boxing, and mind/body/spirit classes such as yoga or Pilates.

Plus, you can increase your income by selling products such as exercise balls, yoga mats, sports drinks, supplements, exercise clothing, and more.

As a fitness club owner and a business professional in a leadership role, you can earn the respect of clients and your community. Your fitness club can be a social hub where you develop long-term friendships with employees and clients.
