Quit your job. Live your dream. Open your gym.
I want to open my own gym but...
Stop with the excuses, remove the uncertainty, and minimize the risk. Go from dreamer to doer to gym owner in less than 12 months.
- I have too many unanswered questions. There's too much risk with so many unknowns.
- I don't know anything about business.
- I don't think I can afford it.
- How do I find a location? How much equipment will I need? How much should I pay for my lease?
- I don't know if I can make enough money from a gym to quit my job.
- I don't know where to even start. Should I franchise? Should I open my own? What's my first step?

I'm a pharmacist, trainer, and small business owner. I graduated from the St. Louis College of Pharmacy in 2007 with my Doctorate of Pharmacy. Over the past 9 years, I've been in charge of a Sullivan's Drugs, which does a little more than $2 million in sales annually.
Although I truly enjoy pharmacy and its ability to help people, fitness is where my heart is at. I started my first gym in 2008 with childhood friend. It started out in 2,000 square foot building, and since then has grown to a 9,000 square foot 24 hour gym called Ageless, which the Hometown model is based on. During those 9, almost 10 years, I got gym fever and opened 4 more gyms. I ended up selling two, and currently am an owner of 3 gyms.
Unlike most fitness coaches (which I am not, but you've probably already designated me as one), I'm not boxed into one model. Ageless is a 24 Hour Gym located in a small, rural town in Illinois. Iron Orchid is a small, high-end personal training-only studio located in a suburb of St. Louis. Flow is a pay-per-class spin studio also located in a suburb of St. Louis. 3 gyms. 3 completely different models. 3 different perspectives. All successful.
Because of that, I can say without hesitation that the Hometown Gym model is THE best model for the majority of people interested in opening a gym.
And just to make sure my hunch was right, I helped an owner, my cousin, with very little fitness experience, open his own Hometown Gym almost two years ago. With some hard work and guidance, it too became a successful, profitable gym.
In addition to the gyms, I've also contributed articles to Fight! magazine, Bluff! magazine, IHoops.com, Stack.com, ConFitdent.com, Natural Muscle Magazine, Personal Fitness Professional, and The Personal Trainer Development Center, as well as several other regional media outlets. I'm a fitness dork.
