FitnessA profitable fitness operation serving the greater Chattanooga market since 2016. Demand is driven by non-discretionary need, making the business resilient in a range of economic conditions. What began as a small operation in 2016 has grown steadily through referrals, repeat customers, and a reputation for doing the job right. Systems, vendor relationships, and an experienced team are all in place for a smooth handover. The business enjoys attractive margins relative to industry averages thanks to disciplined pricing and low overhead. Marketing spend is modest, leaving obvious headroom for a buyer who invests in digital advertising.
