Skip the roughly $450k it takes to build a studio like this from scratch and take over a near-new one for a fraction of the cost.
This boutique group fitness studio in South Carolina was built out in 2023, so it still looks and feels new. The franchise fee, leasehold buildout, complete equipment package, and inventory are already in place, and that $450k is the owners' estimate of what a comparable studio would cost to build today. Instead of taking on that spend and the ramp to a steady membership base, a buyer takes over a fully equipped, operating location and gets to work.
The studio runs on a 100% recurring membership model with a small trained team already in place. The upside is in the levers the current owners never pulled: turning on digital marketing, adding class times, and building corporate wellness partnerships.
Highlights include:
- 100% recurring membership revenue model
- Full equipment package and buildout transfer at closing
- Small trained team already running daily classes
- Space in a busy shopping center off a major interstate
- Priced far below the cost to build new
This is a strong fit for a hands-on owner-operator, a fitness professional ready to own, or a local entrepreneur who wants a built studio instead of a startup.
