Agree with the general economics, but this caught my eye:
> a gym customer needs quite a bit more space compared to the retail customers in the rest of the high street
Where I live, the two gyms nearest to me are not on a high street - they are effectively in residential areas, which I believe has lower rents. The gyms that are on the high street are 'super gyms' that are significantly more expensive.
- quickthrower2 3y agoI have seen “high street” gyms use office space and even basement space. While being a short minute walk from the high street. My current gym is upstairs. Upstairs entry is not something most shops want (unless you are niche maybe like a wedding shop). There are tricks to get lower rent.
- Gigachad 3y agoProbably good to have the gyms closer to where people live as well. Retail stores benefit from the incidental visits of people who are already there. But no one is going to just pop in to the gym while buying clothes.
