I’m looking for some real-world input from anyone who’s been through a studio transition/buyout. I currently rent space in a high-intensity training studio owned by another trainer. She plans to retire in 3–5 years, and the rough idea is that I would take over the space at that point with a gradual transition of clients and relationship building. She trains her own clients with the help of her husband (around 90 clients), and I run my own business within the space (30-35 sessions/wk currently). What’s being discussed is a seller-financed buyout / equity over time, but I’m struggling with how that applies when the business doesn’t operate independently of the owner. In reality, it seems like I’d be: – Buying equipment – Taking over the lease – Hoping some percentage of clients stay (no guarantees) For those who’ve been through something similar: – Is there actually a “business” to buy in this scenario, or mainly equipment + opportunity? – How have you handled valuing a client base that buys session packages? – Have you seen cleaner transition structures (e.g. revenue share / transition period) that worked better? I’m want to take over the space, but want to make sure it’s structured in a way that makes sense. Appreciate any insight or examples.

I've obtained the exact workout routines behind a multi-six-figure strength training business — and I'm giving them away free. Beginner. Advanced. Core. Posterior chain. Female-preference. Specialised. You name it. Comment "YES" below and I'll send them over. 👇 Big thanks to Blair Wilson!!

I have a friend who has a set of eight black Nautilus One machines. He is asking $6,000 and can ship. I have bought machines from him before. If you or anyone you know is interested, send me a message.

I did a search to look if there is any topics on the newest magnetic resistance, machines or smart machines. I thought I saw something that Lawrence put out about a studio moving to E machines, but I couldn’t find it. Anyway, does anyone have any experience using or starting a small gym with just smart equipment? Something like an Oxefit SP1?
