Q: I'm very interested in owning my own Sports Facility, I have no previous experience other than being a member to a local gym. I would like to know what steps do I need to follow in order to operate and own? Also what resources would I need to keep it running. I will like to focus on all around fitness and specialize with football, basketball, track and soccer training. I would like to make this happen in two to three years. I want a family filled facility that will bring a community together and local athletes to be trained for their next level. I'm not in this field but I do have the passion for health and wellness as well as giving back to the community. Thank you for your time and hope to hear from you.
