EQUIPMENT — $521,857 retail value, 100+ pieces over 13 years — enough equipment to fill a gym 2x this size. European imports: Panatta (Italy), Technogym, BootyBuilder Platinum (Sweden). Premium US: Woodway Curve, Concept2, Cybex, Hammer Strength MTS, Pendulum Power Squat Pro, BC Strength, DynaVec Gluteator.
SCARCITY — Several pieces are functionally unfindable on the US used market. Panatta selectorized line, BootyBuilder Platinum V8/V9, DynaVec Gluteator (only 3 in the US), and Pendulum Power Squat Pro would each take 6-18 months to source. Assembling an equivalent package piece-by-piece would take 12+ months.
All equipment transfers 100% owned, no liens. Full line-item list with valuations available under NDA. - Market Outlook / Competition
- The Northern NJ fitness market has grown post 2020. Essex County's affluent demographics and limited independent competition create favorable conditions for premium boutique fitness studios. Competitors include franchise studios (Orangetheory, F45, [solidcore], Pure Barre) and big-box operators (LA Fitness, Planet Fitness).
The studio's core differentiator is its curated premium equipment package, atypical of boutique competitors. Most boutiques outfit from a single catalog, standard cardio, dumbbells, basic strength. The studio has assembled a 100+ piece collection over 13 years: European imports (Panatta, Technogym, BootyBuilder), premium U.S. strength (Hammer Strength, Pendulum, Cybex), best-in-class cardio (Woodway, Concept2, Jacobs Ladder), and uncommon depth in glute/posterior chain training (BC Strength, BootyBuilder, DynaVec) rarely matched outside high-end destinations. $500K+ original retail, 100% owned outright. - Opportunities for Growth
- Multiple clear paths to revenue expansion under new ownership:
- Add additional trainers: The studio currently supports two independent trainers paying flat monthly rent in addition to founder-led training. Formalizing and expanding this model (rental or revenue-share) is the most direct revenue lever. The 5,400 SF +/- facility supports multiple concurrent trainers.
- Re-activate dormant member roster: 13 years of client relationships represent a substantial outreach opportunity for new ownership.
- Expand small-group programming: Open mid-day and evening capacity for bootcamp, kettlebell, TRX, and glute-focused classes.
- New service lines: Nutrition coaching, recovery/stretch, post-rehab, and active-aging (50+) — all areas where the founder built credibility.
- Corporate wellness: Nearby Fairfield/Parsippany office parks (pharma, finance) offer B2B contract potential.
- Hybrid in-person/remote trainin
