1. PROJECT PROFILE
India is one of those countries where awareness about health and importance of
regular exercise is minimal. Statistics show that inactivity combined with poor diet is
second only to tobacco use in causing preventable deaths in the world. The answer to
protect from the fatal diseases is not to have treatment, rather to adopt preventive
measures through exercise and movement. The evidence in this case is indisputable;
Lifelong participation in physical activity has a significant, positive impact on the
health and wellbeing of individuals.
The sedentary lifestyle is a major underlying cause of death, disease and disability.
About 2 million deaths every year are attributable to physical inactivity. A WHO
study on risk factors suggested that sedentary life style was one of the 10 leading
causes of death and disability in the world. The inactivity also increases the risk of
colon a n d b r e a s t cancer, high b l o o d p r e s s u r e , l i p i d d i s o r d e r s ,
o s t e o p o r o s i s , depression and anxiety.
Recent studies have shown that children around the world are also becoming
increasingly sedentary especially in poor urban areas. Time and resources devoted to
physical education are being cut and computer games and televisions are replacing
physically active pastime ignoring the fact that the inadequate physical activity in
children could have lifelong health consequence. Regular physical activity or
exercise with good eating habits, avoiding smoking, monitoring a reasonable body
weight and avoiding stress could improve one's health and help prevent from many
diseases.
Most of the newspapers have no regular columns on health, besides very few
programs on physical activity are carried out by the radio and television. Moreover
the health sector is also not involved in the promotion of physical exercise. So there
is great need to promote activities regarding exercise and fitness.
Good health habits are very important at any age and it is never too late to change
habits in ways that will improve health. One of the key factors for increasing health
is exercise. A regular program of exercise can:
Aid in weight management
Lower risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer
Increase life span and quality of life
Helps control hypertension and diabetes
Increase and maintain flexibility
Reduces muscles tension
Promotes increased circulation
Aids in relaxation, stress reduction
Develops body awareness
The factor that leads to the development of this pre-feasibility study is the fact that
currently limited people have access to health and fitness clubs under qualified
instructors/trainers. Great scope for these types of clubs exist in India especially in
urban areas where life is busy and people have less physical activity.
A health and fitness club provides services to its members to improve their physical
condition or appearance through exercise. The proposed health and fitness club will
provide indoor facilities of Gymnasium, Exercise halls, and a Gym shop & Cafe to
male and female members and will offer services of personal training by qualified
instructors. Project should be centrally located within a residential town to provide
easy access to the inhabitants.
1.4 Proposed business legal status
The proposed health club will have an area of 4500sq ft hall having indoor facilities.
The club will operate in different sessions of the day like morning, afternoon,
evening and night. The club will have a capacity to cater 450 members, spread over
in the following different sessions of the day:
Operational sessions
Time Slots Duration
Gym
6:00 am to 10:30 am (Males only) 4.5 hours
11:00 am to 5:00 pm (Females only) 6 hours
5:30 pm to 10:00 pm (Males only) 5 hours
Exercise (Females Only)
11:00 am – 12:00 pm 1 hour (Pilates session)
3:30 pm – 4:30 pm 1 hour (Yoga session)
The fee package will range from Rs. 1,500 for exercise session and Rs. 3,000 for
gymnasium. The fee is higher due to the reason that proposed club is fully air-
conditioned having full range of imported equipment. In addition to these monthly
fees each member will pay Rs. 2,000 a non-refundable registration fee and Rs. 5,000
as refundable security.
The proposed health club will provide the following services to its members:
Gymnasia

1.9.1 Marketing
At the initial stage heavy marketing would be required to attract members. After
establishing a clientele it is advisable to continue marketing the club services to
ensure its sustainability. The important marketing channels in this case would be
flyer distribution and Cable TV.
People normally consider the following factors while selecting a health club:
Convenience
For new fitness clubs to be a success, it has to be conveniently located. People are
more likely to use a facility if it is close to home or work. Also the fitness facility
should have hours and class times that work within client’s busy schedule.
Type of Facility
There are many different types of fitness facilities, each being the perfect
motivational tool for a specific type of person.
Pricing
Price levels should be set at affordable levels considering income brackets of people
who live in the vicinity and also after considering the competitor’s price levels.
Commercial Health club industry is emerging as one of the good business ventures
in India. People are getting conscious and aware about their health and feel the
importance of exercise in the busy life. Currently health club industry is segmented
and unorganized excluding few health clubs. There is neither an association of these
clubs which is working actively for the development of this industry nor government
or health department/ministry has collected any data about the quantity and quality
of these clubs. Neither have the authorities set any quality standards for such clubs
like in developed countries. A lot of people are venturing into this trade, as it is a
flourishing business. Competition is healthy but these gyms do not cater to health
needs that can be a risk. A lot of people after discontinue the gyms after having
complaints of joint pain and other related health issues.
This industry has gone through many technological developments. Some clubs use
products like heart-rate monitors, calorie expenditure display units etc, to enhance
client motivation. They have a complete lifestyle evaluation, which includes
blood pressure measurement, resting pulse rate measurement, and body fat
assessment before they recruit the new member into the program. Their instructors
are certified to give first aid and CPR (cardio pulmonary resuscitation), so member’s
safety is ensured.
The market for health clubs in India has been developing steadily over the last
decade and a mushroom growth of Gym and clubs is being observed in all the
cities. But still a good potential exists for quality health clubs. India is emerging
as a newly health conscious society. Location and amenities are some of the most
vital factors in the success of a health club.
Customers usually conduct research before choosing a fitness facility because
choosing a fitness facility that is right for them is crucial to their success. Fitness
facilities can vary greatly not only in price but also in size, amenities and
programs offered, hours, convenience and most importantly, motivational
atmosphere. Many join a fitness facility with the greatest of intentions but end up
discouraged and unmotivated due to bad management by the clubs.
The target customers for health clubs are the population of big cities having
age group of 18 to 50 years. Population of urban areas of India is 33% of total
population out of which 50% falls in the targeted customers’ age group.

Machine maintenance
Generally these machines require less maintenance except regular oiling and
occasional replacement of broken wires and bent rods. All parts are easily available.
The proposed health and fitness club requires an area of approximate 4,000 sq ft. It
is recommended to start the club in rented premises instead of owned premises to
avoid huge investment.

5.3 Construction cost
Current construction cost of club is approx Rs. 1,000 per sq.ft. Total construction
cost of 4000 sq.ft. Area will be Rs. 40,00,000. To minimize the cost of the project it
has been assumed that the building for the health and fitness club will be taken on
rental basis.
The building required for the project will be of commercial nature. The rent of the
building will depend on not only the vicinity of the club as well as the floor on which
it would be located. The club can also be established in an independent house unit
that can be used for commercial purposes For this particular pre-feasibility the
rent amount has been taken at Rs1,21,500 per month (calculated at the nominal
commercial rate of Rs. 15 per sq.ft.)
Capital investment for purchase of equipment is the major component of total project
cost of a Health and Fitness club. Following table shows the detail of the Project
