We’re building something new and we wanted to bring you behind the scenes as we map it all out.
Over the past few months, we’ve been developing GymHQ, a full operating system for studio owners. But after digging into our email list, podcast listeners, and social followers, we realised something big: most of you don’t own a studio yet—but you want to.
So in this episode, we talk through the big pivot we’re making. Instead of building something after you’ve signed a lease, we’re working on a tool to help you get to that point with more confidence. We break down the key questions you need to ask before opening a gym, how to find a great location, what to look for in a lease, and how much you’ll need to budget for the build-out.
