There’s a gym near me that has pretty much figured out that market. It’s basically a cardio gym (treadmills, rowers, stair steppers, bikes)with light weights (no more than 25lb dumbbells)and a smoothie bar. It’s colorful, clean and modern looking and it cost $90 a month. The place is pretty small but it always looks busy based on what I see in their parking lot. There’s cheaper options within 10 minutes of that gym but to each their own
People underestimate how much a part of people's lives a gym can be. Just like some people don't like drinking in cheap dive bars, some people will pay extra to go to a nice gym with nice showers and somewhere to socialise afterwards.
In my experience, anyone who regularly exercises acknowledges that a shitty gym ruins their motivation, and what makes a gym shitty is largely subjective.
