I'm a Gym Rat who bought this book as a gift for a friend who just opened his own gym. He doesn't state it but, reading between the lines, the author seems to have been running his own gym in London since the sixties. A slim book but lots of very good tips on how to maximise gym profitability: What to look for in a gym location, sales psychology, how to structure prices for maximum profitability, how to save money when starting up and when buying equipment, what makes the best employees and where to find them, which advertising methods work best, etc, etc. He hightlights the ideas that have worked very well for him over the years and also those that didn't work so well so you can avoid them. Its a worthwhile book full of ideas and advice for gym owners and managers.

This is the only book I can find on the subject of starting your own gym business. Whilst this is American and has lots of pictures of physiques that are not the average one would expect, or like to see in a health club, the book is quiet good.
It just about gives all the information about what to consider when marketing, designing and opening a gym. For me, it was more of a check list of things I already knew that I should do but hadn't got a source of reference at hand, until now.
The only thing I felt it could have improved on was the legalities of health and safety, and fire regs. However, as this book is American they may not have been relevant to us in GB anyway.

Bought this book whilst training as a fitness instructor as the area held interest for me. The book is evry slim and very us-centric. Though it does provide topics to consider to then go off and research further so in this respect a good book and at the time one of only a few available.
