Fitness Equipment Business Plan
Circuit Fitness Importing is an Oregon registered LLC formed to be the exclusive importer of Wega Corporation’s innovative Esercitazione Diritta fitness equipment. This patented equipment is already popular in Europe and Circuit Fitness Importing is poised to obtain the exclusive license to sell it in the U.S.A.
The Market
The American fitness market, a subset of the sporting goods industry, has $5.8 billion in sales. Over the past decade, there has been a significant increase in membership and usage of fitness equipment. As a society, Americans are realizing the impact of unhealthy eating habits and lack of physical activity on their lives, resulting in a booming fitness participation. Circuit Fitness Importing has identified three attractive customer segments:
- Distributors – 60% of fitness equipment sales are to independent fitness clubs.
- Health Clubs – Estimated $565 million in sales for Year 1.
- Vertical Markets – Over 30,000 non-fitness industry facilities.
The Product
Esercitazione Diritta is Wega Corporation’s flagship fitness equipment, featuring patented technology applicable to strength fitness equipment. Unlike other manufacturers, Esercitazione Diritta has users perform exercises in a standing position, strengthening lower body muscles and central motor skills needed for weight lifting. The patented technology provides Circuit Fitness Importing with a competitive edge. Additionally, the equipment is built on casters, allowing for easy movement.
Management
Circuit Fitness Importing will be led by Max Peruggio, who possesses a strong skill set to execute the business model:
- Project manager for civilian and military projects over $100 million.
- Sales manager, increasing sales of a design firm tenfold in two years.
- Fluent in Italian and English.
- Successful importer of Italian goods into the U.S.A.
The exceptional product, exclusive licensing agreement, and experienced sales and project manager will enable Circuit Fitness Importing to quickly gain market share. Revenue projections for years two and three are $1.0 million and $1.2 million respectively, with a net profit of 6.0% and 6.98%.
Circuit Fitness Importing’s mission is to offer innovative fitness equipment to the U.S.A. market, exceeding customer expectations with the highest quality products and premium support. They strive to become the premier fitness equipment importer. The keys to their success are providing value with innovative products, developing strong distributor relationships, and ensuring profitability through strict financial controls. Their objectives include becoming the sole U.S. importer of the Esercitazione Diritta exercise system, generating $1 million in revenue within two years, and achieving profitability within the first year. Circuit Fitness Importing, an Oregon LLC founded by Max Peruggio, imports fitness equipment from Italy into the U.S. They are in the process of opening an office in Portland to secure an exclusive importing contract with Wega for the Esercitazione Diritta exercise equipment. The office requires three computer workstations with Microsoft Office licenses, a broadband Internet connection, two laser printers, and Peachtree Accounting.
