EPISODE 28: SHOULD GYM OWNERS RENT, BUY OR BUILD THEIR OWN SPACE?
Adrian & Pat talk with Chris Spealler, the owner of Park City Fit. Park City Fit is located in Park City, Utah, which is a very expensive location to pay rent or attempt to buy a building. Chris walks down the path which led him to purchase raw land and build a brand new 10,000 square foot facility for his business. He faced many obstacles, delays and frustrations during this long process. Chris candidly shares the pros and cons of this experience as a way to help educate other gym owners who may be considering whether to keep paying rent to someone else or try to become their own landlord.
