I have a garage full of equipment that I tote from gym to gym and a solid clientele. I enjoy working for the gyms where I work, but I’ve had dozens of people tell me I should open my own place. At what point did you decide to stop working for others and open your own place?

So hard to decide. A friend is closing hers at the end of May and I can potentially take over the lease.

And here I am, a year and a half later, still pondering the question, with a garage full of fitness equipment (smile).

After about 5 years of training in a few different clubs, people’s homes and outdoors, my husband finally talked me into it. It was scary at first, mostly because of having the expenses of a studio, but in hind sight, I wish I would have done it sooner!
Good luck!

I think its not about having the moment when your like, “I’m going to open a business”. Its more about having that entrepreneurial spirit in you, coupled with the right finances, connections and a tad bit of luck.

But I like to say people make their own luck.
