Sound familiar?

  • A broken machine sits for a week waiting on parts, with no notice to members.
  • Changing rooms and showers draw the most complaints and get cleaned the least.
  • Maintenance costs arrive as shocks rather than as a plan.
  • The floor layout makes people queue at the same few spots at peak.

After reading, you can

Help a gym owner keep the space clean and working, with maintenance planned not reactive.

Each chapter answers one question

  1. Chapter 1: Do members judge the gym by equipment, or showers?

    What three things do members complain about most at my gym?

    Members judge a gym by the things they touch, not by the equipment list.

  2. Chapter 2: Same floor space, so why do others fit more people?

    At the busiest hour, where do people have to wait for each other?

    Layout decides how many people can train at once without getting in each other's way.

  3. Chapter 3: Everyone knows to keep it clean, so why isn't it?

    Who cleans what, and when?

    Clean is a process with a schedule and an owner, not a standard everyone silently understands.

  4. Chapter 4: Is waiting for breakdowns really saving money?

    Which of my machines are due for maintenance?

    Scheduled maintenance is cheaper than emergency repair, and it does not lose a machine at peak time.

  5. Chapter 5: Which corner of the gym eats rent but earns nothing?

    How much does each square metre of my gym bring in per month?

    Rent is charged per square metre, so revenue should be read per square metre too.
