Profitable Tennis and Pickleball Club plus Fitness Club (Great Lakes)
Business Description
This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the Great Lakes Region’s most established and operationally excellent indoor racquet, pickleball, and fitness clubs — a true community institution with nearly three decades of continuous operation and an irreplaceable physical footprint.
Situated on more than four acres and encompassing 87,500 square feet under roof, this facility is not a boutique studio or a strip-mall gym. It is a full-scale, multi-sport destination asset with the infrastructure, membership base, and brand equity that simply cannot be replicated from scratch. Indoor court inventory of this scale — 8 tennis courts and 8 pickleball courts, all climate-controlled and year-round — represents a significant barrier to entry in any market, but especially in a region where outdoor play is seasonally limited and indoor court time is perennially in demand.
The club has been recognized by the United States Tennis Association as a top-performing club in its region, and its junior tennis development program has produced nationally ranked players — a distinction that anchors multi-generational member loyalty and drives consistent new-family enrollment. The program is not a marketing tagline; it is a proven pipeline that fills courts, builds recurring revenue, and creates the kind of deep community ties that make members stay for years, not months.
A new fitness expansion is complete, adding modern strength and conditioning space to complement the club’s court-based programming. This fitness investment funded represents one of the clearest near-term revenue catalysts in the offering, and a new owner will step in at exactly the right moment: after the capital commitment has been made, but before the incremental revenue has been fully captured.
The real estate is available for acquisition alongside the operating business, providing possibility for SBA hybrid financing.
This is a cash-flowing, community-anchored business with multiple, identifiable levers for a new owner to pull — in a market where the competitive moat is wide and the barriers to replication are high.

- The competitive landscape in this market is favorable. The club benefits from significant scale advantages over smaller fitness competitors, a loyal membership base built over nearly three decades, and the simple fact that indoor court inventory of this scale cannot be quickly or cheaply replicated. While health clubs and boutique fitness studios compete for the general fitness member, no local competitor offers a comparable indoor racquet sports experience. This club owns that category in its market.
- Opportunities for Growth
- A new owner will inherit a business with multiple, clearly identifiable revenue growth levers:
– Fitness expansion — the completed buildout will add meaningfully to membership capacity and personal training revenue in the near term
– Pickleball monetization — dedicated court inventory positions the club to launch premium pickleball programming, leagues, clinics, and memberships into a market experiencing explosive demand
– Corporate wellness — the facility’s scale and amenities are well-suited for corporate membership programs, an underutilized revenue channel
– Tournament and event hosting — the court configuration and spectator capacity support regional and national USTA tournament hosting, generating incremental court rental, food and beverage, and sponsorship revenue
