    Go to http://www.sba.gov , http://www.score.org or http://www.bplan.com for sample business plans and instructions on how to write a business plan.
    Then, go to http://www.score.org/ and in the upper left hand corner, enter your zip code. On the next screen, you will get information on the nearest SCORE chapter. Call them and arrange for a free meeting with a SCORE counselor to review your business plan and discuss various loan options available to you.
    SCORE is a nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of small business nationwide. SCORE is a resource partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
    SCORE has 389 chapters in locations throughout the United States and its territories, with 10,500 volunteers nationwide. Both working and retired executives and business owners donate time and expertise as business counselors.

    what about the nursing thing?

    You’re a third of the way there. You are an expert in fitness and you can be a personal trainer in your center if you want to.
    The next things you would want to do are obviously save up the money or get a loan to buy/rent yourself a building. Then you are going to have to buy all the exercise equipment to fill it up. These will be your two biggest costs in setting up your own fitness center.
    Depending on how busy things get, you are going to need to hire some help. At first you should be fine doing it on your own, though.
    Finally, you are going to want to advertise, advertise, advertise. Get as many people to know about your gym as possible. Let them know why they should come to you instead of the YMCA or other places that offer the same services, etc. You need to brand yourself with something unique or special that you offer to give people an incentive. Whether you offer lower monthly fees than other places in your area, free personal fitness help and advice, or whatever it takes to make people think you are better than your competition.

    a; write a biz plan
    b; seek from the yellow pages,
    the locales of f centers in your
    county; visit them all
    I get one is closed with some of the
    equip still there!
    –otherwise, start in your home and
    when you get 10+ students/customers
    move them to a center.
    otherwise, paying for rent and hoping
    students will show up can be
    a costly activity!
    [seek 2-3 partners!]
