My friend Jack used to work at a fitness center downtown.
Jack had 15 or 20 different clients that he tended to as a personal fitness trainer.
Jack wanted a raise and the owner of the fitness center denied the request. Jack threatened to leave the company and take all of his clients, but the owner of the fitness center did not believe the threat was real. Jack decided to walk out of the office and he never went back to work. A few weeks later, Jack told me that he was going to start offering his own fitness classes. He planned to rent a space in town and he was going to offer classes every day. Jack thought it was time to start a business of his own and I agreed to help in any way possible. I helped set up the fitness center and I take care of the paperwork, billing, and financial records. I will probably start working full-time after the business grows. I know it is only a matter of time, because each month Jack is making more money and there are more members joining the fitness club each week. Jack is the only person that offers private fitness classes and group fitness classes at the same building, so it doesn’t surprise me that he is doing well. He also doesn’t charge a fortune and there are no monthly membership fees. It is the type of place where you pay for each class and you don’t have to worry about being stuck with a membership if you lose interest 8 weeks later.
