Thank you so much for the feedback.
I was so focused on packaging up for larger business i completely missed the opportunity for small sites / landing pages or startups.
Ive just deployed some new pricing options to allow users to purchase specific parts of an audit or monitoring.

If you go in the website and look at the gallery you will see a U shaped staircase. That was fitted after the equipment was hoisted up there.
Replacement removal is possible but not without removing the staircase. Luckily the Technogym kit was only 4 months old. So we won’t be replacing anytime soon. Most of the kit upstairs are weight stacks anyway so require little maintenance.

We pay a bit more than a ‘regular’ gym for liability insurance. We have emergency buttons and our CCTV (nest) screenshots entry/exit against the logs.
The contract is simple. There isn’t a payment contract just a set of rules and a detailed PARQ questionnaire where a doctors sign off is required on any medical conditions that are serious.

Exactly. It was a bank holiday weekend here in the U.K. we moved out of our previous office on the Friday and had the call on the Sunday when the removal work was scheduled.
We have a cleaner that comes in twice a week. Members keep the place tidy surprisingly.

I’m a full time developer but own a gym. By accident!
I went to take over a building as office space that was a liquidated gym. Signed the lease and the day before we moved in the owner called and said we can’t remove the equipment as it was all put in before the stairs. I asked a lot of questions about why the gym didn’t work, had already seen the equipment in there and did some negotiating on purchasing the kit, knowing I could still convert an area to offices.
The gyms main failure was due to the cost of staff. So I fully automated everything, door access, lights, aircon, TVs etc etc. Built a membership system. Making it a fully automated unmanned gym!
We then recruited a freelance personal trainer who does all the inductions in return for advertising and doing PT in our facility with no charge.
2 years in and it’s making £4,000 profit a month with minimal costs. Now looking to buy the building.

Ergh... Probably the worst places to find work. A saturated market of freelancers that will accept any price to do any work. OP you're better than this!
