INSTRUCTIONS
You will design a fitness facility as if you were starting your own business. Your design should include the following components:
1. Facility Structure and Layout

• Size and Layout: Describe the square footage, floor plan, and what equipment and areas will be included (e.g., cardio area, weight room, group fitness studios, locker rooms, outdoor space).
Create a basic diagram or blueprint of the layout. • Unique Selling Proposition (USP): What will set your facility apart from competitors?
2. Fitness Classes and Services • Group Fitness Classes: Create a schedule for group fitness classes. Include at least five different classes. For each, describe: • Name of the class • Target audience • Duration and frequency • Instructor qualifications • Equipment needed • Personal Training: Develop a personal training program, including: • Types of training available (e.g., one-on-one, small group, specialized sessions like injury rehab or sports performance)
• Pricing packages (session-based or monthly memberships)
• Additional Services: Include any extra services like nutrition counseling, massage therapy, child care, or wellness programs. Provide brief descriptions and costs.
