Health and Commercial Real Estate

[Jose Gandulla]

I am no way shape or form an expert.I am in more or less an infant admiring those who wear the big boy pants in this industry! I do  have a question about a particular approach towards commercial real estate that i would appreciate feedback on. I have been involved in the health and fitness industry for over 15 years and an increasing trend that I've noticed through literature and first hand experience is the surfacing of "specialty studios". I'm not talking about Crossfit. But more specifically, personal training studios that offer more than just personal training. Some are group training based,class based, while others operate as a miniature health club with a training focus. As opposed to the larger health clubs that operate at a minimum of 20,000sft, These studios range from 5-15,000sf. This kind of square footage i believe may be easier to find and allow this particular kind of studio to use the space to open their facility. There are a large number of these studios who have owners that are looking to expand their brand. Would an investor be able to reach out to these studios, help the owner find a location so that he/she can grow their business? The same could be said for physical therapists looking to open their own clinic. One could network with the American Physical Therapy Association to(apta.org) to inform either brand new or seasoned physical therapists that if he/she is interested in opening his/her own clinic, they could use us as a valuable resource to get them started.We help them get their business started, and in turn we are supplied with an endless supply of leads. Again, I have no idea whether or not this is a feasible option. I'd figured i'd ask first to see what the feedback is rather than making a grave mistake. Thanks
