I live in Denton County (Corinth) and I own a gym in Collin County (Allen) and both are still growing like crazy even during covid.   

They said they would only do the standard 50% up to 50k, even though I was directly effected by COVID (I coach boxing and muay thai, gyms were the first places shutdown here in WA).

They are making great efforts to add to the downtown area, I have a good friend who just opened a bouldering gym downtown, and another friend looking into opening a "hip" bookstore/coffee shop.

Also, tenants haven’t been able to use some amenities, such as gyms, that have been closed or restricted during the pandemic.Last month, Cline’s company launched a $1 billion fund set to acquire and invest in about 4,000 to 5,000 new construction rental homes in addition to existing single-family residential portfolios across the United States.In recent weeks, other investors have been flocking to the property type.Haven Realty Capital, one of the first investors to target for-rent single-family homes after the Great Recession, is teaming with Chicago private equity firm Walton Street Capital on a $133.7 million deal for 537 properties in greater Atlanta.Single-family rental giant Invitation Homes and Rockpoint Group this month said they plan to buy up to $1 billion of rental homes.

Mortgage would be $2,300 a month with $21,000 out of pocketPros - Brand new (build finishes 12/1), very close to work, 3 minutes from gym (I gym 5 days a week.

If all else fails, camp out in gym gear and wait till you see people walking toward the house.

Rock climbing gym project derailed because planners want sidewalk ramp up to building for wheelchair accessibility form street level on elevated site, Bend OR.

Also would longterm renters be attracted to housing communities with things like a pool, gym, etc.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Vertical endeavors is a great local gym, Minneapolis bouldering project another great option over your way! 

If the competition forced a gym, put in a small gym with treadmills.Good Luck!
