What do you need to open your own sports club. How to open a sports club

The question of how to open a sports club is more relevant today than ever. And there are plenty of reasons for that. The fashion for a healthy lifestyle, which began to actively emerge about a decade and a half ago, this moment has become a daily habit. A huge number of people, even those with a very busy work schedule, are well aware that without a healthy body, a healthy spirit cannot be seen, and therefore they find time to visit the gym at least three times a week in order to keep themselves in good shape and not lose business activity.

Those who decide to open a gym from scratch will only have to initial stage attract significant investment. After the business pays off after a certain period of time, the cost of maintaining a sports club will be significantly less than income.

Approaching the question of how to open a gym from scratch, you need to understand that in big cities at the moment there is a decent number of elite sports facilities. Therefore, so that the business at the opening of such a club does not turn into continuous costs in a highly competitive environment, an economy class institution should be opened to meet the needs of a specific target audience that cannot afford to lay out half of the monthly income for a subscription.

The first stage: drawing up a business plan and developing a strategy

Starting a business of this kind, you need to decide on the specifics of the future club: will it be a single project in which you will independently solve absolutely all organizational and other pressing issues, or is it a business on a franchise basis. In the first case, there are a number of undeniable advantages, such as, for example, relative freedom of action. But for those who do not have sufficient experience in doing business in sports business, the risk of making critical mistakes that can lead to the collapse of the entire event is quite high.

In the event that the business will be carried out as a franchise, then there are also strengths: you don’t have to “reinvent the wheel”, because by purchasing a franchise, you get not only the already promoted brand of this club, but you can also count on support and assistance in solving almost any problems that have arisen. However, it is necessary to understand that this is beneficial primarily to those who have most of the rights to an already established business. You can get into a kind of bondage, giving away most of the profits from the institution to franchise owners.

When you have decided on the specifics of a sports institution, you need to decide what level it will be and at what level. target audience calculated. An economy class institution should be located in a passable place, albeit far from the city center. The list of services of this club should include a gym and a room for fitness, yoga, Pilates, as well as locker rooms, a bathroom, showers, a relaxation room and a reception. You can add a “zest” to your gym of this class, for example, by orienting an institution for family pastime with children, organizing a children's room, or providing for special training programs for parents with kids.

Thus, showing creativity, it is possible to compete even with expensive elite sports clubs, having acquired its own dedicated audience.

If it is decided to organize a club at a higher level, then, in addition to all of the above, it must have a massage room, a room for cosmetic services or SPA procedures, a solarium, a swimming pool, a shop sportswear and nutrition.

Stage two: choosing the most suitable premises

In any case, you will have to look for a room for the future club on your own, no matter whether you open your own authentic institution or a business on a franchise basis. It must be understood that the vast majority of people want to go in for sports in the immediate vicinity of their home or place of work, respectively, the premises of a sports institution should be located near a business center, or in the heart of a residential area near a major traffic intersection.

The premises of a sports facility must have a good ventilation system, which is very important, high ceilings, and all communications, such as heating, electricity, cold and hot water, must be properly connected and function properly. Otherwise, you risk getting large unplanned costs in addition.

The larger the area of ​​​​the premises of such a club, the better, of course, however, it is worth measuring your own financial capabilities so as not to get into a mess. Therefore, first you need to find out what range of services the institution will offer, and based on these needs, look for a suitable room for rent. The area of ​​​​the fitness room should be at least three to five square meters per person.

Even for the smallest economy-level club, a total area of ​​at least 160 square meters is desirable; a higher-level establishment can occupy up to 1,500 square meters.

Third stage: equipment selection

To open your own club, in any case, you will need to purchase equipment, the costs of which "eat up" the lion's share of the entire budget. So, here is a rough list of the essentials:

• For the full-fledged equipment of the hall, at least ten to fifteen simulators are required. A common mistake novice businessmen make is to purchase cheap copies in the hope of saving some money. However, this is not very profitable, more precisely, on the contrary, the purchase of unsuitable equipment is not only contrary to safety regulations, but it can also be argued with a high degree of probability that such a step will lead to the need to replace equipment within a few months after its commissioning. simulators good quality, in turn, can last up to ten years with proper care, lubrication, replacement of cables and small parts once a year. By the way, at the moment there are enough domestic brands that offer a complete list of high-quality simulators (from block to treadmills) at quite reasonable prices from $400 per unit, which is quite profitable.
• Equipment for fitness, Pilates and yoga, such as step platforms, special balls, etc., is cheaper than exercise equipment. For example, the cost of a quality step platform is approximately $100.
• To open the hall, you can limit yourself to the above set of equipment. If the level of such a club is above average, then you will additionally need to purchase a solarium, a table for massage room, refrigerators for a bar, cosmetic installations for depilation, rejuvenation and other equipment.

Stage four: preparation and execution of the necessary documents

If you have firmly decided “I want my own business”, you should understand that establishing a club involves documenting and receiving all required permits granting the right to conduct such activities. You can deal with this issue on your own or entrust the process to intermediaries, which is not very profitable from a financial point of view. So, you will need:

• A certificate that is issued upon registration for further registration as a CJSC / LLC.
• Permits signed after inspection of the establishment by the fire service and SES.
• Original registration documents from the pension fund.
• A passport issued to a sports institution and granting the right to engage in recreational activities.
• Permit issued by Rospotrebnadzor.

Fifth stage: recruitment

The staff of such a club plays one of the key roles, because even if in the institution itself high level with a sauna, a swimming pool and a relaxation area, customers will be met by gloomy administrators and incompetent instructors will train, then we can say with confidence that there will be very few people in such a club.

Therefore, starting your business from scratch, you should pay careful attention to the selection of qualified personnel, you can give young employees the opportunity to try their hand, for whom a certain lack of experience is compensated by a zeal for work and a desire to prove themselves, which often bears fruit. The staff of even a small institution should be staffed with:

• Gym instructors (including personal trainers).
• Fitness, Pilates and Yoga instructors.
• At least one head coach.
• Administrators.
• Cleaners.
• Manager (often this function is taken over by the owner of the institution).

Outcome:

It is difficult to give an unambiguous answer to the question of how much it costs to organize a gym, it depends on many factors, including in which city the institution will be located. In any case, such a business requires investments in the amount of ten million rubles or more. But if you have firmly decided “I want”, then it’s definitely worth trying yourself in the wellness area. This is not at all as difficult as it might seem at first. The payback period for a business is one to three years.

Today, the development of the sports industry in Russia is only gaining momentum. More and more people try to follow healthy lifestyle life. To do this, you need to get rid of excess weight, depression, and constantly maintain good physical shape. Given this trend, the opening of a sports club is quite promising idea especially now that the market is saturated.

It should be noted that the market for elite sports services in most major cities is already occupied, so it is necessary to open a sports club with the expectation of providing economy class services. Despite the fact that the number of people who buy simulators in the property is constantly increasing, this does not give reason to believe this species business risky. The fact is that most people go to sports clubs not only to maintain physical fitness, but also to expand their social circle. Also, at best, you can place one or two simulators at home, in a sports club there are much more of them. Among other things, playing sports at home gives significantly worse results, which is caused by laziness or ignorance of the rules.

room

It is advisable to choose an area for a sports club directly either in a residential area or close to business center. The fact is that potential clients in this case there will be adults who do not have too much free time to get to the sports club. As a rule, people visit the club either in the morning, before work, or in the evening. Statistics show that the remoteness of the club from the place of work or home is the most determining factor in choosing it. The area of ​​the club must be at least 150 square meters. m., while it should be divided into such premises as:

1. Gym;
2. bathroom;
3. Two dressing rooms;
4. Common room for training;
5. Warehouse of sports equipment;
6. Staff room.

Marketing research shows that the creation of separate rooms for women and men has great development prospects. The fact is that ladies in their environment feel more relaxed, which in turn has a positive effect on the productivity of training.

AT gyms a good ventilation system should be provided, as during sports there is profuse sweating. In the hall, the temperature should be around 18°C, and in the locker rooms - 25°C

Equipment

To purchase simulators, it is necessary to allocate a sufficiently large amount of funds. To equip 1 square. m. of area, domestic simulators need about 9.0 thousand rubles. When betting on imported simulators, this figure increases at least 2-2.5 times.

• Strength training equipment;
• mats;
• Fitballs;
• Free weights;
• Cardio equipment.

Staff

AT staffing The sports club must provide for the following positions:

• Administrator -1 person;
• Cleaner - 2 people;
• Accountant - 1 person;
• Trainer - 3 people.

Technical staff is necessary for the functioning of the sports club, because the cleanliness of the halls is very important for customers.
