No one in PF actually wants to get strong. So, hard pass.

You might enjoy being the strong guy for a change, and no meatheads tying up one apparatus for 45 minutes.
Mind you I haven't been so maybe the atmosphere is just too demoralizing.
I've only been to one PF and only been going there a little over a month but there are clearly people training hard and getting in shape. What you don't have (and what I don't miss) is a bunch of Jersey shore douchebags screaming at the top of their lungs and throwing the weights down as hard as they can.
Covid bad. Close down gym. You go home broke. You will have zero chance of being successful staring a business now with shut-downs every other week. People want that 10.00 per month gym....so its going to be tough anyways.
I put my Pilates instructor in business. Equipment for the studio was top-notch and about $15k. Rent is modest as it is a studio. Most of her clients were older people with a fairly high income who benefited from the modest demands Pilates puts on elderly bodies.
She was busy 40 hours a week and charged $50-$70 an hour.
The business doesn't scale unless you have a bigger facility and are great at recruiting new teachers-something she didn't want to do since very few are as good as her. The difference was her personality.
We decided that I wouldn't see the client list, but it became clear to me that she was attracting some of the wealthiest people in town.
Low fixed costs=limited but well-off clientele=client centered personality=success.
gotta love it when bots bump an old thread.
