Figures, that gym closed. So to be a successful gym in America you need to preach mediocrity, a lack of judgement, remove tools that have been proven successful, and provide free pizza. Meanwhile, gyms that provide those tools and preach hard work to achieve goals go under. Most people are fucking morons, Mikey. Here's the thing though, I think the gym business model is to appeal to as wide a base as possible, get them to sign up, then pray they never come back. It probably works. A place like Planet Fitness offers extremely low plans and targets the fattest and most out shape people (a long forgotten demographic amongst gyms). They know these people are going to have the hardest time going consistently. The "no judgement zone" shit appeals to them. Lets say they turn off 5 meatheads with their slogans and low weights but get 10 fatties to sign up. Those 10 fatties might make 10 visits a month combined, while those 5 meatheads would come in everyday of the week. The fatty method is much easier on equipment, rental space, etc. I hate to say it, but Planet Fitness has it figured out.

And the primary reason I don't consider opening one is that I know what a brutal market it is. they only way I would consider it is if Steve Pulcinella wanted to open a second Iron Sport with me as a partner.
