I will indeed put up some of the costings. Here's a brief example, I'll detail the price of the Gym80 equipment we have opted for, though this list is bound to expand:
Pullover machine
Lever Pulldown
4 station row/ tricep pushdown, & twin pulldowns
Seated row machine
T Bar row
Squat Rack (two of these)
Leg extension
45 degree leg press
Squat machine
Horizontal leg press
Standing calf raise
Lying leg curl
Standing leg curl
Hip machine
Shoulder press machine
Seated side lateral machine
Rear delt (butterfly reverse)
Lever Chest press machine
Incline chest press
Incline bench
Decline bench **look, no flat bench!**
Seated Scott curl
Preacher curl machine
Tricep machine
Smith Machine
Cable Crossover
Hyper extension
Ab bench 04028 (two of these)
Leg raise frame
Duplex station
Adjustable benches (three of these).
Now then, this is not including any dumb bells, plates, bars, racks, cardio equipment & all the other bits & bobs. There also are about seven machines we have to get elsewhere e.g. a Powerzone front squat machine. The list above totals £84,000.
Stings a bit, don't it?! Before you all think we have pots of cash, I can assure you we have not. the equipment will be leased as this makes for a considerable saving on asset tax, and cashflow is preserved too. we will be leasing almost everything that is considered 'equipment', from computers, epos tills, lockers, weights, the lot. we will own them at the end of the lease, but for now we can save a lot more in tax than we will pay in interest.
I'll do a full costing list once the premises is secured to give you an idea of the sums involved. It looks scary when you see it all in one place
