Anytime Fitness for Only 115K in Omaha
Sold
Specifications
This fitness franchise located in Omaha with a separate personal training business within the gym is perfect for a personal trainer looking to increase a client list and earn extra income. Under current ownership since 2009, gym membership has increased from 150 customers to 600 with a capacity to include another 500. In addition to offering modern workouts on all types of equipment, clients are invited to take advantage of personal training with scripted workouts, evaluations and nutrition advice. Started and run by the owners, the personal training business is separate from the franchise and is not subject to any royalty fees.
While the gym is open 24/7, personal training services are available Monday through Saturday from as early as 8:30am to as late as 7pm. Fully built out at 4,850 sq. ft., gym goers have a wide range of fitness choices, from rowing machines and treadmills to classes and tanning. The owners have also built training relationships with nearby school sports teams, which has been a good way to increase community presence. A buyer could easily capitalize on this by creating a social media presence and starting B2B relationships to drive membership numbers
Priced at $115,000, this gym and personal training business is ready for a new owner, and is far cheaper than what the franchise expects for a new location. Eligibility requires over $100,000 in liquidity and a net worth of $300,000, but a buyer could own this existing facility for $22,500 down.
With assets of $175,000, an $86,250 bank loan would be over collateralized, and a buyer could expect a first year’s profit of $50,427 after debt payments.

A Word from the Sellers
We purchased the gym in May 2009. The three of us were previously involved in the fitness and personal training industries. We wanted a place of our own where we could train and help people accomplish their health and wellness goals.
Since then, we have been able to rebuild the business and its reputation after going through four previous owners. The facility has been improved, and we’ve provided a clean and comfortable environment for our customers. However, although we have built up the gym over the years, all of the owners have options to pursue other careers. We feel someone with new passion and a different business mind will be able to take the club to capacity and run it with continued, if not greater, success.
Valuation Details
The Firm Business Brokerage used a Cash Flow Valuation methodology to determine the Purchase Price of the business.
The formula used is as follows:
2016 Cash Flow x Prescribed Multiple = Fair Market Value
Cash Flow is the sum of business net income plus any owner perks and any non-onward going expenses.
A multiple is prescribed by a 20 question, 100-point parameter ranking system that is used to analyze the current business health. Each question is based on a scale from 1 to 5: 1 being low, 2 below average, 3 average, 4 above average, 5 high. The average of the responses sum is the business’ prescribed multiple.
With this information, the computation is as follows:
$67,750 x 3.1 = $210,025
The Fair Market Value found above positions the business List Price at $204,000, but the price is reduced to $115,000 as the owner is changing careers and would like a faster sale!
Funding Example
Purchase Price: $115,000
15%Buyer Down Payment: $17,250
10% Seller Financing: $11,500
75%Bank Loan: $86,250
Seller Financing 5-year term at a rate of 4.5% equals a monthly loan payment of $214.
Bank Loan 7-year term at a rate of 5.25% equals a monthly loan payment of $1,229.
After business expenses and annual loan payments of $17,323, a buyer would retain a profit of $50,427. A 15% down payment of $17,250 results in a 292% return on investment in the first year!
A lender is required to have a minimum 1.5 coverage ratio for any business loans extended. At a proposed Purchase Price of $115,000 with the terms listed above, the coverage ratio is 3.91.
Please note that the decision of whether to extend a loan on any sale belongs to the bank, and this document does not guarantee specific terms or verify that financing is available.
