Priced Far Below Build Cost | Fitness Studio

York County, SC, USA
Listed 27 days ago
Established 2023

Skip the roughly $450k it takes to build a studio like this from scratch and take over a near-new one for a fraction of the cost. This boutique group fitness studio in South Carolina was built out in 2023, so it still looks and feels new. The franchise fee, leasehold buildout, complete equipment package, and inventory are already in place, and that $450k is the owners' estimate of what a comparable studio would cost to build today. Instead of taking on that spend and the ramp to a steady membership base, a buyer takes over a fully equipped, operating location and gets to work. The studio runs on a 100% recurring membership model with a small trained team already in place. The upside is in the levers the current owners never pulled: turning on digital marketing, adding class times, and building corporate wellness partnerships. Highlights include: This is a strong fit for a hands-on owner-operator, a fitness professional ready to own, or a local entrepreneur who wants a built studio instead of a startup.

Premises Details

The studio occupies 2,966 sq ft in a busy shopping center with easy access off a major interstate. Because it was built out in 2023, the space still presents as near-new. The full equipment package, fixtures, and leasehold improvements transfer with the sale, along with on-hand inventory, so a buyer takes on a complete, ready-to-run group fitness floor. The facility is leased, and lease details are available to qualified buyers during due diligence.

Support & Training

The franchisor provides established onboarding and training for a new owner as part of the standard franchise transfer process, covering the operating systems and brand standards that keep the studio running. The sellers will spend about 30 days training the new owner on daily operations. A small trained team is already in place and runs classes day to day, which supports continuity through the transition. A franchise transfer fee applies and is confirmed with the franchisor at closing.

Expansion Potential

The current owners have run the studio without turning on several growth levers, which leaves clear room for a more active owner. First, digital marketing has not been used, so paid social and local search campaigns are an open channel for member acquisition. Second, the class schedule can be expanded with additional time slots to serve more members across the day. Third, corporate wellness partnerships with nearby employers offer a route to steady group sign-ups. A hands-on owner focused on membership growth has room to move the business toward stronger performance.
