FitnessEstablished in 2011, this gym business has built a loyal customer base in the Chicago area. The owner has stepped back from daily operations in recent years, and the business now runs semi-absentee. The company ranks well in local search results and maintains an active presence on the major review platforms. The company runs on documented processes with a trained staff of 11 in place, allowing the owner to focus on high-level management. The business operates on modern software for scheduling, invoicing, and customer management, so a new owner inherits clean data and repeatable processes. The customer database numbers in the thousands and represents a valuable, largely untapped marketing asset. Over the past several years ownership has invested in equipment, systems, and staff development, positioning the company for its next phase of growth. Ideal for a hands-on owner, or as an add-on acquisition for a regional player.
