Own the Gym, Skip the Startup – Profitable Fitness Business
Business Description
This is an opportunity to acquire an established, profitable functional fitness gym with a loyal membership base, experienced coaching staff, extensive equipment package, and strong community culture already in place.
The business has generated approximately $28,000 in trailing 12-month EBITDA despite relatively limited owner involvement. The current owner’s primary career is in healthcare, and the gym has increasingly operated as a secondary business rather than his primary focus. An experienced coaching staff handles much of the day-to-day class delivery, providing a strong foundation for a new owner.
The opportunity is particularly well suited for a fitness professional, coach, personal trainer, or entrepreneurial owner/operator who wants to own an established fitness business rather than take on the expense, uncertainty, and time required to build one from scratch.
Established Operation
The business comes with an existing recurring membership base, experienced coaches, established operating systems, programming, marketing assets, and approximately $22,000 in fitness equipment and FF&E included in the asking price.
Equipment includes a substantial pull-up/squat rig, Olympic barbells and bumper plates, dumbbells, kettlebells, medicine balls, rowers, air bikes, GHDs, plyometric boxes, rubber flooring, and a broad range of functional training and accessory equipment.
Significant Growth Potential
One of the biggest opportunities for a buyer is simply having more time and energy dedicated to growing the business.
The current owner has limited ability to focus on marketing, lead generation, community outreach, partnerships, and new programs. A motivated owner/operator could pursue additional growth through digital marketing, local partnerships, personal training, nutrition services, youth programs, corporate relationships, community events, and expanded membership offerings.
There may also be opportunities to reduce certain operating expenses depending on the buyer’s existing systems and software.
Relocation Opportunity
The current facility lease runs through February 2027, after which the business will need to relocate. Rather than viewing this simply as a challenge, the relocation gives a new owner the opportunity to choose a facility that better supports the next stage of growth.
Several potential nearby locations have already been identified, including storefront options that could provide significantly greater visibility, signage, accessibility, and exposure to the surrounding community.
The objective would be to transition the existing membership, coaching staff, equipment, systems, and culture into the new location rather than starting a new gym from zero.
Seller Support & Financing
The seller’s priority is finding the right person to continue serving the community that has been built over many years. The seller is willing to provide meaningful transition support, including operational knowledge, introductions to members and staff, and assistance with the relocation process to help minimize disruption and maintain continuity.
Seller financing is available for a qualified buyer with a meaningful down payment. Terms are negotiable based on buyer qualifications, purchase price, down payment, and overall deal structure.
The business is being sold because the owner is relocating his primary healthcare practice closer to home and believes the gym deserves an owner who can make its continued growth a primary focus.
Asking Price: $75,000
Additional financial information, detailed equipment inventory, business identity, membership information, and relocation details are available to qualified prospective buyers.

Class coaches and admin assistant - Facilities & Assets
- Fully equipped functional fitness business with an extensive equipment package included in the sale. Assets include a full pull-up/squat rig, Olympic barbells and bumper plates, dumbbells, kettlebells, medicine balls, rowers, air bikes, GHDs, plyometric boxes, rubber flooring, and functional training equipment.
The current facility lease runs through February 2027, at which time the business will need to relocate. This gives a new owner the opportunity to transition the established membership, staff, equipment, and brand into a location of their choosing.
Several nearby locations have been identified, including storefront options offering significantly greater visibility than the current facility.
Substantially all fitness equipment and operating assets are included. A detailed equipment list and relocation information are available to qualified buyers. - Market Outlook / Competition
- The business serves an established local market of adults seeking coached, community-based fitness in a welcoming environment. It has developed a loyal membership and strong culture, with particular appeal to adults who value personalized coaching, scalability, accountability, and long-term health.
The local market includes traditional gyms, boutique fitness studios, and other functional fitness options; however, the business differentiates itself through experienced coaching, an established community, and an approachable training environment.
Relocation also presents a significant growth opportunity. Nearby storefront locations could provide greater visibility and accessibility, while an owner with more time dedicated to marketing, community outreach, and membership growth could expand upon the existing member base. - Opportunities for Growth
- Significant growth opportunity exists for an owner who can dedicate more time to the business. The current owner operates the gym as a secondary business with limited involvement, and growth initiatives have therefore been limited.
Opportunities include increased local marketing, social media and lead generation, community and corporate partnerships, personal training, nutrition services, youth programs, and expanded membership offerings.
The required relocation also creates an opportunity to move into a higher-visibility storefront location. Potential nearby spaces have already been identified that could improve signage, accessibility, and exposure to the surrounding community.
With an established membership, experienced coaching staff, equipment, systems, and culture already in place, a new owner can focus primarily on growth rather than building a fitness business from the ground up.
