Customers of this luxury gym pay a high monthly membership fee no matter how many times they visit. There are no additional fees. Peter enjoys helping people get fit and lose weight and he enjoys teaching exercise classes. Peter wanted to help more people to get fit or build up their muscles so he decided to set up his own gym, Peter thought there was a demand for low priced gyms that allowed people to pay each time they used it rather than pay a high monthly fee. So he left his job and set up his own gym in a low income part of the city. Peter named his business Value Gym (VG) and opened it three months ago. Peter needed a large bank loan to help him set up his gym as he only had $5 000 of his own money. He is a sole trader. He prepared a business plan to show the bank manager. VG has been very successful and Peter is expecting to make a profit by the end of his first year as an entrepreneur. However, he still wants to attract more customers to the gym. He knows that marketing will be very important if his business is to expand. Peter has estimated that VG will soon need 4 personal trainers to work in the gym. Peter has not decided whether to employ these personal trainers or to allow personal trainers who work for themselves to use VG's facilities for a fee. The gym is open from 0600 until 2200, 7 days a week. Customers pay for each day they use the gym. In addition customers can pay for a personal trainer i they want individual tuition.
