Gym Location Analysis
50% of new gyms close within 3 years. The location you choose is the single biggest predictor of whether you succeed or fail. PlacePilot gives you the data to make that decision with confidence.
What Makes a Great Gym Location?
Residential density within 2km (members commute short distances)
Parking and accessibility for early morning and evening hours
Competitor differentiation (boutique vs. big box vs. specialty)
Ground floor vs. basement (visibility matters for walk-ins)
Co-Tenancy: Why Your Neighbors Matter
The businesses around you drive foot traffic to you. This is co-tenancy — and it's the most underrated factor in gym site selection.
Gyms near coffee shops and juice bars create a post-workout ecosystem
Proximity to physiotherapy clinics drives referral traffic
Office buildings within 500m feed lunchtime and after-work classes
Common Gym Location Mistakes
Choosing a cheap basement location with no street visibility
Ignoring the 2km radius rule — members won't drive 20 minutes to a gym
Not checking if the space meets ventilation and ceiling height requirements
