Xplor Gym & Independent Gyms partner to publish ultimate guide for aspiring gym owners
Xplor Gym, the best-in-class Gym Management Software leader, has partnered with Independent Gyms UK & Ireland to publish the Ultimate Guide to Opening a Gym.
Opening a gym is a dream for fitness enthusiasts looking to turn their passion into a career, and those in the industry looking to take their career to the next level, alike.
Knowing where to start can be tough. Keen to help aspiring owners on their journey to success, the Xplor Gym and Independent Gyms teams came together to embark on creating a comprehensive resource.
Owning a gym can be seriously rewarding, but it comes with challenges too. The guide exposes the realities and practicalities of starting a gym business.
The FREE resource features honest insights from gym owners and wise words from subject matter experts including Leisure DB, Jay City Finance, CIMSPA, Risk HQ, and Uplift Fitness Marketing.
“We’ve supported gyms across the UK, and around the world, through all phases of growth – from concept through to enterprise. So, we know how important those early days are for future business success,” said Dave Alstead, Commercial Director at Xplor Gym. “We’re excited to share this extensive guide with prospective gym owners, helping them understand what’s involved with gym ownership right from the get-go.”
“As a former gym owner, I’ve been there and done it – I’ve experienced the many highs of gym ownership. But also, the lows that can come with it. I’ve made the good and the bad decisions along the way and came out the other side with a huge admiration for those willing to give it a go,” said Amy Ritson, Partnerships Manager at Independent Gyms UK & Ireland. “After spending the last two years at Independent Gyms, it’s made me appreciate just how difficult, but also just how rewarding gym ownership can be, which is why we are hugely excited to partner with Xplor Gym to create the Ultimate Guide to Opening a Gym.”
“The step-by-step guide will assist entrepreneurs on their gym ownership developing, from developing a business model and finding the right location, to choosing equipment and hiring a team. We’ve reached out to the 2,500 gym owners in the Independent Gyms community, asked about their experiences and sought their advice, to help shape this guide and give readers a real understanding of what to expect as they make the transition to gym owner,” added Amy.
