EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Organized recently as a start-up business by founder JULIET NTEYIE LEKAMARIO as PLATINUM NUTRITION
CONSULTANCY AND FITNESS GYM established with the vision of becoming a full-service, state-of-the-art, multi-
sport complex. Situated in the NAKURU TOWN area near NAKURU SPORTS CLUB, PLATINUM NUTRITION
CONSULTANCY AND FITNESS GYM is uniquely positioned to capture an underserved marketplace for athletic
facilities in the NAKURU TOWN. Once established, PLATINUM NUTRITION CONSULTANCY AND FITNESS
GYM will be recognized as a pillar that promotes social and economic development within the city and surrounding
communities. According to research obtained from the owner, over the next five years, the Gym, Health and Fitness Clubs
industry will lift itself to success, benefiting from the revitalization in consumers’ discretionary spending. As consumers’
disposable income rises, more individuals will purchase gym memberships that include a plethora of amenities, compared
with low-cost memberships with few amenities that have fared well over the previous period. Moreover, while many
individuals will be time-strapped over the period, which may constrain demand for gym memberships, this trend will be
offset by growing demand for results-driven gyms that can help individuals achieve fitness goals in shorter time
increments. Organization plan contains the business manager and qualification, personnel number and duties, recruitment.
Training and promotion, remuneration and incentives, license and permits and by-laws and lastly support services, for
example, personal and group trainers, as well as fitness classes, will be popular. In the five years to 2023, revenue is
forecast to grow at an annualized rate of 2.8% due to more consumers purchasing high-cost industry services, such as
cohesive, individualized health plans that include trainers and nutritional guidance. Profit is also expected to slightly rise
from 8.6% of industry revenue in 2021 to 8.9% in 2023, as many gyms offer more high-margin services, such as group
personal training sessions, to strengthen their product portfolio and bolster member retention rates. It contains pre-
operational costs; working capital requirements projected cash flow, pro-forma balance sheet break even analysis, and
profitability tactics and desired financing.
