Inside the normal range
Your margin is 10%
A typical gym or fitness studio runs 8–22% after the owner is paid, and the strongest run about 21%.
The math
- $924,000 revenue − $831,600 costs = $92,400 profit
- $92,400 ÷ $924,000 = 10%
Getting to 21% would be $101,640 more a year — $8,470 a month — on the revenue you already have.
