CONFIDENTIAL LISTING – TURNAROUND OPPORTUNITY

Established Boutique Fitness / Wellness Studio – Debt Assumption Structure

We are seeking an experienced operator in the fitness, gym, or med-spa space to acquire and relaunch a proven boutique wellness business with a strong brand and prior profitability.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a business that recently produced $140,000–$160,000 in absentee owner cash flow, but is now available due to management disruption—not market failure.

Business Overview

Specialized boutique fitness & wellness studio (EMS training model)
Strong brand recognition and loyal former client base
Customers and staff have indicated willingness to return under the right ownership
Previously run largely absentee with consistent profitability
Current performance: approximately break-even before debt service

Why This Opportunity Exists

The current owner purchased the business in Summer 2025 for approximately $400,000. Due to several operational and staffing decisions, the business experienced:

Loss of key personnel
Decline in client retention
Reduced marketing and leadership focus
Importantly, the underlying demand and brand equity remain intact.

The original seller still holds a $200,000 note and is highly motivated to work with a qualified buyer who can:

Take over the debt obligation
Rebuild the operation
Restore revenue and profitability

He, the original owner prior to the current owner, believes there is a clear operational path back to success that would require approximately $30,000 in reinvestment, but he has recently started a new career and no longer has the capacity to execute the turnaround himself.

Ideal Buyer Profile

This opportunity is best suited for:

An experienced gym owner, fitness operator, or med-spa entrepreneur
A hands-on leader who understands staff management, client experience, and retention
Someone with a resume of operational execution, not just financial interest
A buyer with appetite for a turnaround and confidence in rebuilding a team and culture

This is not a passive investment. It is a chance to step into a distressed but proven business and capture significant upside through competent leadership.

Transaction Structure

Acquisition via assumption of existing seller note (~$200,000)
Seller is flexible and motivated to work with the right operator
Favorable terms available for a qualified buyer with relevant experience

Upside Potential

With stabilized staffing and renewed marketing:
Reconnection with former clients
Restoration of historical revenue levels
Return to six-figure owner cash flow

This is a situation where operational excellence, not innovation, is the value creator.
