Lucky...wouldn't the cost of getting all that gear through customs etc be significantly high?

Custom clearance shouldn't be a problem . You already have a concept 2 rower , can provide remedial massage so all you need to set up is all my gear . Buy it and you'll be in business .violet wrote:Lucky...wouldn't the cost of getting all that gear through customs etc be significantly high?

The flooring I looked at and got a quote on was tens of thousands and it wasn't even the best stuff. Edit* However I was looking at a relatively large floor space.Lucky Seven wrote:I've got enough commercial gym equipment that would be a better fit out than the Himawari or the Cambodiana gyms .

Cost of equipment is up there too, if you want anything near international standards then be prepared to pay between $9'000 to $15'000 per treadmill. And then be prepared for them to eventually fail and become outdated in a few years. With regular maintenance fees during that period.
You're looking at well over $200'000 for equipment only if you are looking for anything that resembles a gym from your home country. Just sticking rubber down on the floor will cost you tens of thousands.
I intended to ship it all over here and set up , still might do it although I am only half - hearted about it now .
If anyone is interested in buying it and setting up let me know , I may even be interested in a joint venture ....maybe . I'll post photos if anyone is keen.

Commercial heavy duty rubber flooring for gyms is around $35 per tile 1mt×1mt new. Often available used for half that so it's possible to rubber floor a reasonable size gym for around $5000 .Speak No Evil wrote:The flooring I looked at and got a quote on was tens of thousands and it wasn't even the best stuff.

Cost of high rents is another issue, try covering the rent on a decent location in the city with a few hundred members.

It's expensive however you look at it and the market isn't really there yet, this is why we pay so much here. In my opinion
Spoke to retailers of equipment?
Received quotations from contractors?
I think you're basing your ballpark figure from western economic standards.
What do you mean about Western economic standards?
The cost of labour and materials is not high. Running the place needs to be in the name of a Khmer person (to do away with taxes and licenses).
Western economic standards means you need just under 100k to make profit in 20 years. Ain't nobody got time for that!
@lucky seven, I wanna open a gym.

The where is food for thought. How big? Big enough to fit smith machines, squat rack, 10 benches (flat/incline/decline), captains chair, ellipticals, running machines and space for yoga mats and a swill ball. Definitely space for ropes too.
How good? Depends on how big (see above).

Ok , all that sounds a bit vague so I'll tell you what I think you'll need .0zirC wrote:Lucky Seven wrote:Where .... how big ... how good ?0zirC wrote: The cost of labour and materials is not high. Running the place needs to be in the name of a Khmer person (to do away with taxes and licenses).

Space .... approximately 150 sq.mt .
Equipment. ... 3 good treadmills 3 spin bikes or similar
Dumbbell set 2.5 kg up to at least 45 kg
3 Olympic barbells
3 Benches
Squat rack
5 or 6 plate loaded isolateral machines are better than a smith machine
1000 kg at least of weights
Dual cable machine
Low row/ lat cable machine
Assisted chin / dip machine
Various other bits and pieces like punch bags speed balls rubber floors etc.
That gives you an idea . The location of course is important , I've identified a couple of spots one in particular .
It's possible to set up a gym for around $50000 if you buy right .
Let me know if you're serious .
$600-$700 pa sounds a lot but if you are a regular user, it's worth it. Place 2 in TK is a really nice gym with a great pool, and the staff there are consistently friendly and helpful. Yeah, the majority of users (very rich Gucci handbag-holding Khmers for the most part) spend their time chatting and on their phone(s), but hey! that's their choice and need not affect you. Anyway since some are very attractive, I'll put up with their chatter over grimacing sweating he-males who insist on grunting loudly ('everyone look how strong I am') every time their pick something up any day of the week. Easily the best $650 I spent this year.
