High risk of running out of runway
Opening a 500 sqm mid-tier mixed facility benchmarks at $313,130 all-in. You have 48% capital coverage, a missing business plan and 0/100 pre-sales.
| Cost Item | Amount | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Capital (48% covered → weight 50) | $150,000 | 24 pts |
| Planning maturity → weight 25 | $0 | 0 pts |
| Demand validation (0%) → weight 25 | $0 | 0 pts |

- • Capital weight: 50% of composite score
- • Benchmark basis: US commercial fit-out & opex rates
- • Working capital reserve: 3 months (fixed)
Limitations
- • Editorial weights — The 50/25/25 split is editorial judgment, not regression-derived.
- • No location factor — Lease terms and local competition are outside this score.
Data sources & method
This tool is a calculation model, not a database lookup. It runs arithmetic on the numbers you enter, using an explicit formula and a small set of documented default assumptions (service intervals, energy prices, useful life). Every assumption it applies is listed in the result, and each one is a default you can overwrite.
We do not hold a benchmark dataset. FitnessNav operates no gyms, runs no fleet, and has never collected equipment telemetry, so there is no measured useful-life, maintenance-rate or downtime distribution behind these models. The default assumptions come from published manufacturer documentation and standard trade practice, and they are labelled as assumptions \u2014 not as findings. Treat the output as a structured way to think about a decision, and replace every default with your own numbers before it leaves your desk. If a vendor hands you a benchmark, ask for the sample size and the age of the machines in it.
Gym Readiness Score — frequently asked questions
What pushes my readiness score highest?
Capital coverage contributes up to 50 points, business-plan completeness 25 and pre-sale traction 25 — a perfect submission scores 100.
How much capital counts as "enough"?
Enough to cover equipment CAPEX plus fit-out at $250/m², pre-opening at 10% of CAPEX, and three months of working capital at $35/m²/month — computed from your floor size and tier.
Do I need pre-sale members to score well?
Not necessarily. Pre-sale progress scales to 25 points; launching without any presales caps your composite at 75 regardless of capital strength.
What score means "go"?
Read the band the calculator returns: low scores mean fundamentals are missing, mid bands indicate launch-viable with gaps, and top-band scores support investor conversations.
