You're a fitness instructor and your skills were good enough to land you a dream job in KSA.
Build on that skillset, help others start their own fitness related business or use your connections to start
That makes sense. He's already established and has built credibility in several communities where he has worked. He just needs to monetize those skills on different platforms, not just in person training. He's able to write long-winded answers in here where he's able to logically develop ideas, so he can certainly write a book, a blog, programs for online use, one on one training on line, build an online community.
Get someone who can design a website properly, perhaps even set up an app. Appear on shows that are open to entrepreneurs. There are opportunities for him everywhere. Especially now, an online business can really get off the ground quickly.
something new that offers real value to the clients unlike 99% of the gyms in Montreal.
The issue with the fitness industry is there is so much free available information. Countless websites and blogs, unlimited workout routines and programs available online. Really, anything you're looking for, just do a youtube search and you'll find it.
I'm struggling to think outside the box to where it lands on a feasible interesting idea. I have one that I could potentially work through my network but it's seasonal peaking during summer, would have needed to start planning in winter. Looking into it but it's a low probability at this point.
Fitness equipment companies are on a big backlog as the demand increased tenfold. Also problematic to the industry as a lot of people are getting used to training at home and getting the necessary equipment so paying for monthly fees isn't going to be all that appealing anymore. I expect a lot of gyms to close up. The hope is people will put a lot of value on the communal aspect of going to the gym where it's also a social activity or the ''prestige'' of being part of a country club like Midtown Sanctuaire.
It's a very tricky time for my industry. The current model isn't sustainable. I have an idea that could be revolutionary but the logistics of it is overwhelming, need to do more research.
Thanks for the support though guys, appreciated.
