Adding open gym to a group fitness business sounds simple. It changes more than most owners expect.
The schedule changes. The staffing model changes. The equipment layout changes. And the building you leased for a class-based model may not fit what the business is becoming.
In this clip from a conversation with our client Resistance Strength , we get into what the transition from group-only to a hybrid open gym model actually looked like — and what shifted along the way.
Evolving the model is one of the most common moves in the industry right now. The owners who plan for the operational and real estate implications upfront are the ones who make it work without breaking what's already running.
We help gym owners lease and buy buildings.
