Catawba Fitness is a fully operational 24-hour gym located in the growing Lake Norman region of North Carolina. This is a turnkey opportunity for an owner-operator, investor, or fitness entrepreneur looking to step into an established community gym with recurring membership revenue, strong local recognition, and significant growth potential.

The facility is approximately 2,500 sq. ft. and comes fully equipped with commercial-grade cardio and strength equipment comparable to what members expect from major national gyms such as Anytime Fitness. Equipment includes free weights, benches, squat racks, cable systems, selectorized machines, cardio equipment, and functional training equipment.

One of the gym’s biggest advantages is its fully automated 24-hour operation. Members access the facility using a mobile app or secure key fob entry system, allowing for streamlined operations and reduced staffing requirements. The business also includes its own established app-based access and management system, creating convenience for members while helping keep overhead efficient.

The gym currently has approximately 150 active members and serves a rapidly growing area with very limited competition. There are no comparable gym competitors within approximately 18 miles of drive time, creating a strong local market position and continued opportunity for membership growth as the surrounding Lake Norman area continues to expand.

The business also has multiple growth opportunities for a new owner. A personal trainer currently operates out of the facility, and restructuring this relationship into a formal in-house training or revenue-sharing model could immediately increase income. Additional opportunities include group fitness classes, supplements/retail sales, expanded marketing, corporate partnerships, and student or family membership programs. The business was previously approached about expanding into a nearby city, demonstrating additional market demand and future scalability.

Included in the sale are the gym equipment, branding, website/social media presence, automated entry/access systems, member management systems, and existing memberships/recurring revenue structure. The gym is fully operational and ready for immediate transition.

Owner is a retired military veteran relocating back to his home state and is willing to provide transition support and training to ensure a smooth handoff for the buyer.
