   If you have some sort of "specialty" like CURVES you stand a good change.

   Find something that sets your club apart from the rest…..good luck.

   Try doing it from your home first. It all depends on how many clients you can get. It is not economically affordable to open up a business until you've done research by finding out how many people would be interested in your service and at what cost are they willing to pay.

   It would only work if you did it like a Richard Simmons video. Oldies work outs all the time and curly afro hair.

   It depends on your contact list and what you consider "doing well."
   Would it provide good supplemental income? Possibly.
   Would it pay all your bills? Doubt it.

   Depends where your located? Big City? Where would you open this place at? Think you might need to give more details:) Sure its possible to do on your own but you gotta put more thought into it or if you have give us more details. Remember youll need to keep track of all your customers, times youll have your classes and if you do do well you will probably need to hire people to help:)

   Do a marketing survey to ensure the area is not flooded already. But if your starting small and covering a certian niche…I say go for it. If you aim at nothing…that's what you'll hit.

   With all this competition going on, it's a bit hard opening up a business. If you have a big house and a nice big patio, you can create a walkway that goes to the patio.

   Remodel the patio with something Zen or make it look like a ballet studio. Add a nice water fall by the doorway. I'm sure your aquaintances and customers will get a kick out of it. In time, you will build a business that way. Just start slow.

   Very tough business. Work for someone else first to learn the issues.
