Cost model

Article Abstract:

It is forecasted the UK market for health and fitness clubs will be valued at 1.25 billion pounds sterling by 2001. The estimated total cost of a health and fitness centre in the South East of England, based on 1998 figures, is 3,476,900 pounds sterling. The structure would include an aerobic studio, a shop, a bar, a creche, a gymnasium and a 25 metre swimming pool. Some two million people, in the UK, belonged to private health and fitness clubs in 1998, a 25% rise in members from 1993. New centres need good parking facilities and are often located within hotels.
