For example, individual entrepreneurs regularly vent their vision, generally based on personal experiences. Additionally, answers are formulated by training institutes, banks, sector advisors and network organizations. So far, science has only played a minor role. People generally think that little research has been conducted into fitness clubs. However, nothing is further from the truth! A large amount of interesting research exists that can help in finding the answer to the question: what makes a fitness club successful?
