The Operator's Read
Club build cost ($350,000 each) outruns membership cash flow — the account bottoms at -$8,664,000. Fitness expansion is a pre-sale-and-ramp game; slow the rollout or pre-sell memberships to fund builds.

About This Model
A full operating model of a fitness or membership chain. Members and monthly dues drive per-club revenue; variable and fixed club costs set club margin; new clubs open on a rollout and consume build capital; and chain EBITDA sets an implied valuation.

Assumptions & Limitations
- •The model is deterministic and monthly — it projects your drivers forward with clear arithmetic, one scenario at a time.
- •Defaults are illustrative benchmarks. The paid version ships in Excel so you can wire in your real chart of accounts.
- •For a model built entirely around your business — hiring waves, fundraising rounds, working capital — commission a bespoke engagement.
- •Educational decision-support tool — not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.
