12 guides for gym, studio, and fitness facility owners — written and reviewed by Nate Jones, CPCU.
-
AED Rules for Fitness Facilities: Equipment, Staff, and Duty
Some states require a defibrillator on the gym floor, and some require a trained person beside it. What the duty attaches to, and where it is written.
-
Your Insurance Calendar: What Landlords and Franchisors Expect
A policy can be perfectly in force while the proof of it goes stale. The recurring dates behind gym insurance paperwork, and who has to chase them.
-
Gym Membership Contracts: Cancellation and Auto-Renewal Law
What health club statutes write into a membership agreement: required contents, cancellation windows, term caps, refund triggers, and renewal rules.
-
Gym Registration and Bonds: What State Law Actually Requires

-
Hiring Trainers: Onboarding, Records, and Credential Checks
What to verify before a coach works with a paying member, what belongs in the file afterward, and why credential expiry is the part owners let slide.
-
How to Open a Gym: What to Line Up Before You Sign a Lease
Opening a gym is a sequencing problem. Entity, lease, build-out, staffing, and coverage each foreclose the next — here is the order that holds up.
-
Member Data: The Exposure Your Gym Program Does Not Cover
Gyms hold names, payment credentials, intake notes, and door records. The lines we place do not answer a data claim. Here is that gap, stated plainly.
-
Reducing Gym Claims: Supervision, Maintenance, and Records
Floor supervision, service logs, and incident reports do not guarantee an outcome. They decide what a defense can prove about the day it happened.
-
Selling a Gym: What Actually Transfers to the New Owner

-
What a Gym Is Worth: Why We Do Not Publish a Multiple
We went looking for a sourced gym valuation figure and found only parties who earn a fee on the sale. Here is what we checked and what to ask instead.
-
Who Is Buying Gyms? Private Equity and Franchise Resale
Institutional capital is arriving at both the brand level and the operator level, and the announcements disclose no price. What that means for an owner.
-
Workers Comp for Gyms: The Levers an Owner Actually Controls
