Opening a gym is a planning exercise as much as an equipment purchase. This page walks through the standard phases we use with every client — and the packages that cover them.
Phase 1 — Define Your Facility
- Target members and training styles (strength, functional, boutique, general)
- Square footage and ceiling height
- Budget per square foot and expected member count
Phase 2 — Zone Planning
| Zone | Typical Inventory |
|---|---|
| Strength machines | Smith machine, leg press, chest press, lat pulldown, cable crossover |
| Free weights | Benches, dumbbells 5-100 lb, racks, Olympic bars and plates |
| Functional | Functional trainer, battle ropes, sleds, plyo boxes |
| Cardio | Treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, rowers |
| Recovery | Stretching area, foam rollers, mobility tools |
Phase 3 — Budget & ROI
- Small studio (500-1,000 sq ft): $15,000-$35,000 equipment budget
- Mid-size gym (1,500-3,000 sq ft): $35,000-$80,000
- Full commercial (3,000+ sq ft): $80,000+
- Typical equipment ROI window: 12-24 months at 60%+ utilization
Phase 4 — Logistics & Installation
We handle freight, customs documentation and container consolidation. White-glove installation is available. Typical lead time is 2-5 weeks from order.
