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. |
You're the expert, but do you really need all that gear? A front squat machine, seated side lateral machine, etc. - I'm sure you could halve the amount of equipment, thus saving a small fortune & it would have no detrimental impact on the venture.
Listen to what Lewis says as well (perhaps you could get a shoelace tieing machine?). You can get plenty of cheaper, lower maintenance materials than slate, that would give the same feel of quality. Don't get conned by a poncy architect singing & dancing about some high end spec. that you don't need.
Finally, how are you going to manage the situation in respect of 'other' supps? Zero tolerance? I'm not into this side of training, but given the nature of the business, I should imagine you could get some nasty (not that you're nice & fluffy, but I think you get my point) or stupid folk trying to extort a little extra cash from you.
Interesting thread, by the way.
