I want to create a health center where we go out of the way to work with the people, closely monitering their nutrition, exercise, overall fitness and health needs to ensure that they will lose weight or gain muscle. Still an idea in the works, but it's something I am interested in. We will see I get into college and finish my undergraduate business program.
They have a similar chain of gym's here in australia known as Fitness First, biggest gym chain in australia, and one of the great ideas (for them I guess) is instead of hiring personal trainers to help out visitors, they simply let personal trainers run their own business on the gym floor, so they go around helping people out, motivating them, and if they would like to sign up for a training program with them they can. It counteracts the unfortunate downside of your plan of it costing way too much to monitor every single person that visits your gym.

Cheers, Tim
