Cardio and strength machines represent a considerable investment often undervalued in amateur BPs.
Daily cleaning, machine maintenance, wear part replacement — significant recurring costs.

The opening budget for a gym ranges from €100,000 to €500,000 depending on size (300-1,500m²), positioning (low-cost, premium, boutique) and location. Main items: premises (rent €3-15k/month), equipment (€50,000-200,000), fit-out (€30,000-100,000) and working capital (3-6 months of charges).
Break-even for a gym typically sits between 300 and 800 members depending on the model. A low-cost gym (€20-25/month) targets 1,000+ members, while a premium gym (€50-80/month) can break even with 300-400 members. Our AI calculates your precise threshold based on your fixed costs and pricing.
Mandatory insurance includes: professional liability (covers member accidents), premises insurance, and structural guarantee if renovations are needed. Legal protection and business interruption insurance are also recommended. Annual budget: €3,000-8,000 depending on size and member count.
Average churn rate in fitness is 20-30% per year. Effective retention strategies: personal coaching, varied group classes, mobile app with tracking, community challenges, annual commitment pricing. Our AI models the impact of each strategy on your retention and revenue.
