Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Equipment maintenance cost
Cardio and strength machines require regular servicing; budget for annual maintenance contracts to avoid downtime.
Seasonal demand fluctuations
Membership sign‑ups may dip during monsoon or exam periods; plan promotional offers to smooth cash flow.
Fire and safety compliance
Obtain fire NOC and ensure adequate exits, extinguishers, and emergency lighting as per local municipal norms.
Trainer certification requirements
Ensure all fitness trainers hold recognized certifications (e.g., ACE, NASM) to meet quality standards and avoid liability.
