    In this video I take you through my personal 18,000 sqft facility in Burlington, NC. This gym is catered towards the general population and serves as a great reference point for both the types of equipment you need AND the amount of equipment you need.

    I'm not even anywhere near wanting to open a gym but UA-cam recommended this video on my feed. You did such a well detailed breakdown of the equipment cost that I subscribed to your channel.

    Dude, that was one of the best things I've seen on UA-cam in ages! I'm watching you name off retail prices in the thousands of dollars for this commercial equipment and thinking what I paid for a used garage gym piece over here on Marketplace and yelling out, "Sixty bucks!" Subscribed!

    Steven great video! Your gym has grown a lot since 2014. I love videos like this where not any do you get an awesome tour of the gym but also lifelong wisdom and experience from a pro like you! Keep doing this bro!

    I use to have 5500 sq Ft gym, paid 4500 month lease, spent min 110k on machines and such and had many plans for more and growth. Desert Gainz Gym was mine. Covid killed me and I lost 105k dollars because of it. No one gave 💩. It sucked to lose. Was open about 8 months. It’s hard to run a gym. Was. Small town 7000 population

    Crazy fucking gym. But to say this is what it costs to open a gym is a bit musleading. This is the cost to open easily one of the most well equipped gyms in the country with (overpriced) major name brand pieces of equipment. Pieces of equipmrnt that are like cars and will immediately lose 30-50% of their value the second theyre used.
    Not ragging on the guy... this gym looks insane. I just feel like a more appropriate title would be "the REAL cost to open MY gym"..... which would still be misleading because i highly doubt he opened the gym with ALL this equipment and likely became possible after running the gym for a few years and then becoming a retailer of gym equipment - used and new - himself. You can definetly open a gym for $200-300,000. Think something like an Anytime Fitness. Still exoensive... but thats like.... the cost of ONE room here. This.... THIS is definitely no Anytime Fitness, hahaha.
    Great video though. Nice to get some prices on Arsenal Strength stuff since they hide it on their website...... which means its overpriced. Metal is metal..... and welding is welding. I think when i got my stockpile of cash next year ill stick with going with Fettle Fitness.... chinese knockoffs of hammer strength equpiment... for half if not less than half the price..... brand new. That said...... I REALLY want to make a trip out to your retail warehouse..... that just looks like it'll be like me being a kid in a candy store. I'd need to plan a multi day trip there though, haha.... what is it..... 118,000 sqft. God damn, haha. Probably would swing by this gym too if i make the trek all the way out there. Theres no way id buy any of this stuff brand new though. I just want a pec fly/rear delt, pullover, leg press, pendulum squat, seated calf raise, and seated leg curl/leg extension combo machine. Then.... i'll be out of room in my garage, hahaha. Which is another reason i probably couldnt go with any of these brand name brands..... theyre overly large/over built. Not exactly home gym/garage gym friendly. Id love to get the Rogers Pendulum Squat but every time i see a Rogers piece in a video they all look like theyre the friggin size of a small car, haha.
    Edit: after watching the last 10 or so minutes after typing all the above.... I see he said pretty much everything I said.... see....I'm not hating.... DEFINITELY not hating. I'd give my left nut for a facility like this, haha

    I assume theres less risk of something failing on strength equipment (selectorized more than plate loaded) versus cardio or something with electronics. If shopping used/ refurbished equipment, how do you vet whether or not something is safe to buy used?
