Someday I will open a gym. I don't yet know when that day will be. I've been reading business books, have written a business plan, have written sample schedules and of course I continue to research drills and grow as a coach. I've been at my current gym for 4 years and I love most aspects of it there. However, the atmosphere has become worse recently and I'm not sure how much longer I can stay. I will stick it out for now because I know it will get better soon (like an abusive relationship, it comes and goes in waves). But I am considering other options. Rather than finding another temporary coaching position I am trying to find a way that I can open my own gym sooner than expected. So, my question:
Should I consider asking one of my parents to be an investor? She is the founder and CEO of a big company with 6 branches in our area. Her daughter came to train with me from another program and I know they both love me now. I do realize it could turn out badly. But is it worth asking ? Thanks.
