Contracting Maintenance
Frequency of need Seasonal inspections Inadequate in-house personnel Skill level of employees may not be adequate for specialized maintenance Workload and staffing balance Part-time maintenance person can also take on other tasks Other cost considerations Can you afford a full time person? Salary? Benefits?
Budget Preparation
Gathering information How old is the club? What is the competition doing? What do you need to pay staff to retain them and keep them motivated What are projected costs for heat, water, etc? Are any new services going to be offered? Forecasting sales Part art and part science Look at previous years Projecting profits and losses Comparing against industry norms Determining capital needs
Types of Maintenance
Housekeeping Daily tasks of basic cleaning, empty trash, replace towels and toilet paper, sweeping, mopping, dusting All employees can help with housekeeping Objectives need to be specific General Maintenance Referred to as infrequent housekeeping Steam clean carpets, paint walls, stripping and sealing wood floors, changing filters in the HVAC systems Improves and preserves the appearance of a facility Performed at regular intervals Preventive Maintenance Goal is to avoid premature failures of equipment to maintain the highest level of safety for members Routine inspection of motorized equipment Looking for trip hazards, sharp edges, water leaks, etc Repairs Involves restoring to operation some piece of equipment after it has failed Prioritize repairs since failures usually come without notice Have "Out of Order" signs available Set aside separate budget for unexpected repairs Replacement When something reaches the end of its useful life Repairs are no longer cost-effective Stock common replacement parts such as cables, pulleys, belts Delays in repairs can lead to unhappy customers Improvements May decrease operating costs Upgrading HVAC or pool filters Enhance the aesthetic quality by improving lighting or mirrors Remodel areas of the facility Add amenities Utilities Complex and extensive utility work often requires skilled laborers from utility companies or independent contractors Electricity, water, gas
Understanding Financial Management ---------------------
I'm!
Who helps?
If you are going into business for yourself you will need to at least initially consult with a lawyer and an accountant However, you should make yourself as knowledgeable as possible about the legal and financial aspects of running a health and fitness company
Standard 4

Types of Budgets
Increment-decrement or trend-line budgeting Most popular budget in the fitness industry Uses previous year to build budget for current year You cannot automatically assume that the numbers from previous year are ideal Excellent record keeping with notes is important Break-even analysis A budget is developed that shows the minimum amount of revenue that must be generated in order to cover expected expenses Zero-based budgeting Looking at specific goals, not taking the past into consideration Worst-case scenario The plan you put in place in case revenues are lower than expected and/or costs are higher than expected
Why is this important?
Invest between $20-25 per square foot before opening the doors Need to re-invest as industry trends shift Types of equipment Cardiovascular equipment Variable-resistance and selectorized resistance equipment Free weight equipment Fitness accessory equipment
Why do you need to know about this??
Is the business generating enough cash flow to pay the bills? Does the business have strong systems in place to collect overdue accounts? Are staff hours being properly budgeted based on needs? Can equipment be purchased? Do you know how to purchase supplies? Is the non-profit status being properly maintained?
Durability
Joints: welds should be sturdy and best equipment is ground smooth Chassis: moving parts should be enclosed to reduce cleaning and maintenance Padding: Double stitching should be standard, no staples on quality pads Belts are consider more sturdy than cables Belts and cables quieter than chains Electronics: electrical components and moisture don't mix Warranties will tell you a lot about the lifetime of equipment
Differences in Facility Size
Large facilities Usually have several divisions including maintenance team Includes in-house attendants Midsize facilities Usually have at least 1 maintenance person either full or part time Share responsibilities during the day, contracted crew at night Small facilities Most maintenance is done in-house with more contracting when needed
Developing a Preventive Maintenance Program
Maintain operations Lengthen service life Identify worn out equipment Prevent loss Ensure personal safety Protect facility Comply with government standards
Other considerations
Maintenance Do you have support equipment Office equipment Software updates What else???

Pools, spas, HVAC systems Water control and shut-off Electrical panels Lighting Provisions for people with disabilities
Performing a Needs Assessment
What is the operating budget for maintenance? The setting usually dictates funds If performing in-house maintenance consider payroll and capital costs If using contractors, get multiple bids Weight the costs of using in-house and contracted maintenance How many members are you serving daily? What is the average number of members using the facility daily? Which days of the week are busiest?
Cost
What is the point of diminishing return? Must consider the following: Initial purchase price Sum of maintenance Power requirements Repair and downtime Lease or lease-purchase agreement Small amount of cash up front Lease payments can be expensed on an income statement Typically 36-48 months but negotiable 10% down with first and last months lease EVERYTHING is negotiable and you should always get several quotes Used equipment is also an option Vendors refurbish equipment to nearly new condition Refurbish your existing equipment Average life of fitness equipment is 5 years
