Pakistan's first offline gym management app. WhatsApp integration, fee tracking, attendance — works without internet.
Download Free →Starting a gym in Pakistan can be incredibly profitable if done right. The fitness industry is booming, especially in urban areas. Here's everything you need to know.
Step 1: Location & Space
Choose a location with high foot traffic and good parking. For a basic gym, you need at least 1,500-2,000 sq ft. Commercial areas near residential blocks work best.
Step 2: Equipment
Start with essentials: treadmills, exercise bikes, free weights, benches, and cable machines. Budget ₨5-15 lakh for basic equipment. Buy used equipment from closing gyms to save money.
Step 3: Legal Requirements
Register your business with SECP, get an NTN number, and obtain local body permits. Health and safety compliance is increasingly important.
Step 4: Software Setup
From day one, use proper gym management software to track members, fees, and attendance. Starting with spreadsheets creates a mess that's hard to clean up later.
Step 5: Marketing
Use WhatsApp, Facebook, and local banners to announce your opening. Offer founding member discounts to build your initial base quickly.
