Thank you very much for the meeting yesterday. We are extremely excited to open up yet another branch of XYZ Fitness Gym on 54th Avenue, Northern Chicago, and looking forward to your company financially assisting us to set it up. We have prepared this proposal for you, with all the details. We would like your company to have a look at the entire opportunity and share your assistance to support our business idea.
Executive Summary
We would like to open another branch on 54thth Avenue, next to the ABC Gas station in the northern region of Chicago, Illinois. We have already signed a 5-year lease plan for the basement of ABC plaza. XYZ will be a membership gym, providing amenities like the pool, cardio equipment, yoga sessions, and personal training. As ABC is a top Venture capital firm and you support small businesses, we would like you to provide us the necessary finances to start up our new branch of the XYZ Fitness Gym.

Business Summary

Monday -Sunday: 6:00am -9:00pm
Location:
54th Avenue, Chicago
Objective:
Provide fitness services
Workers:
5 workers will be hired, including trainers, managers, and consultants.
Location
54th Avenue is a very lively place, nearby a lot of offices, and malls. We have selected the basement of ABC plaza, which is a 5,500 square feet area. We are going to have to do some remodeling to make it look like a state-of-the-art gym. This place has a very decent footfall and attracts hundreds of people. We think that opening up a gym at this spot will be a great opportunity for our business.
Target Market
Our target market is the fitness-conscious young generation and people with high disposable income, who can afford all-inclusive gym memberships.
Ages: 35-50
20 and younger
Market Analysis
Gyms and fitness centers are becoming more and more popular because of increased health-consciousness in common people. Location plays a very important part in the success of any fitness center. Our market research shows that the students and people working in nearby offices will be the most likely customers. XYZ will strive to build loyal customers by providing them high standards of fitness and a friendly environment.
Competitive Analysis
We did our research and found out that there are currently no other gyms or fitness centers working within the radius of 5 km of 54th Avenue. We saw this as an opportunity to start the XYZ gym branch in this area.
Marketing
- We will be promoting our gym through digital marketing. We will send our offers and promotions through social media, SMS, and emails.
- We will offer a free Training Day on our website, where people will be able to either visit our existing branch on the Main Boulevard or the new branch, for a 1-day free session. This way we will get some new potential customer information and we can send them promotions and offers to sign them up for the membership of the XYZ gym.
- We will print ads in all the local community newspapers and drop flyers in the nearby malls and offices.
- Also, we will use our current website to run banners and ads about the new branch.
