1.0 out of 5 stars waste of time, Mar 19 2002

This review is from: Gym Biz Starting And Running Your Own Gym For Profit (Paperback)

The book has alot of pretty pictures, but that is about it. The book outlines only a superficial understanding of how to start and operate a gym. I was sorely disappointed and dropped it off to my local goodwill soon after reading it... Dont bother with this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Glorified Magazine, very dissapointing, Nov 23 2001

TomK (Boulder, CO United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gym Biz Starting And Running Your Own Gym For Profit (Paperback)

This "book" is basically a 80-page magazine, with lots of irrelevant pitcures to take up space. There is a lot of general talk about starting a gym, but no statistics of any kind, no surveys, no hard-facts backed up by studies, no examples of business plans, obtaining financing, examples of successful gym cash flow statements, etc. More or less, this is of the quality of a high-school term paper. I was very dissapointed, and I've returned it back to Amazon.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pump it Up in the King's English!!, Oct 27 2001

By

Jay Carson "motorholio" (Yuma, Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gym Biz Starting And Running Your Own Gym For Profit (Paperback)

A good starter, and one of few books about the gym business. But the book deserves a rewrite in American English. Some of the English spelling and idioms are distracting.
