About this business
A small strength and conditioning gym in central Chester, with free weights, racks and a studio used for classes and personal training. Four staff run it, and since 2013 it has occupied a building it owns freehold, which is part of the sale. Membership income has grown every year, taking turnover from £124k to £210k, though adjusted EBITDA is only £17k. The asking price is £40k, well below net assets of £90k, and the equipment could be moved if a new owner chose to sell the building.
