You and everyone else.

I started a Master's last year, D1 school with a lot of rich kids; 90% of my classes are 22 year olds who jumped straight into grad school and are still playing their sport. Out of my first 6 classes, I probably saw 25 projects/presentations/etc. around starting a gym, offering some kind of fitness app, personal training, etc. And out of those, I saw at least half that were based on someone who did it before them, who had a massive advantage (former professional athlete turned trainer, etc).

Everyone wants to do it. Everyone has a so-called unique spin (mostly just unique to them).

Like others have said, you are going into this completely backwards and starting with the solution instead of the problem.



This doesn't make your gym standout, this gives you a one tenth (if you're lucky) of a credential that doesn't stand light to those with degrees in kinesiology/athletic training/physical therapy, or even your standard NASM/ISSA/etc certification.

Right now, you don't even know the problems you want to solve, and if you did, you'd realize you're not qualified to solve them, and then if you were, you wouldn't know how to sell them. So my recommendation is to stop playing around with your titty twisting jokes and go get certified and start training people and running classes at your local gym. You will get hands-on, paid experience on how a gym is run and an inside scoop at the day-to-day. And sales. Or maybe your wife will if you're afraid to get in the muck.

Right now you are talking about logos and research as if you yet another student about to give a presentation on their new gym idea in one of my classes. But I also think you can start a gym in Sims 4 if you want to expand your roleplaying efforts.
You're titties hurt i can tell.
I know you're right on not knowing what I'm solving yet, that's why I'm looking for the problem and how to solve it.

It seems like people are getting butthurt with just me putting a title on a thread to get people to click lol
