Tally up your results:

  • More than 16: I hate to break it to you but your facility needs a major upgrade. If it isn’t already affecting your membership retention, it is bound to.
  • 10 - 15: Your facility is in decent shape but remember, to be able to compete with the new and shiny gyms popping up in your area, you might want to address some issues. 
  • Less than 10: Congrats, your facility is in great shape! That doesn’t mean there isn’t any room for improvement, though. Be on the lookout for opportunities to address and stay on top of burgeoning issues.
