Studios & clubs
Fitness Club
Membership count is not visit count; model actual peak attendance, classes and staffed coaching separately.
Yoga Studio
Instructor sessions and usable class spaces constrain sold attendance; no online-only teaching is included.
Pilates Studio
Reformer classes need one available machine per place; outreach mat classes do not require reformers.
Functional Training Studio
Class size, coach availability and station count constrain attendance; include supervised setup time.
Climbing Gym
Access sales and coached places share wall capacity; mobile walls require setup and inspection.
Golf Simulator Club
Simulator-hours are finite; coached bookings and events displace self-directed rentals.
Schools & training
Dance School
Teaching groups, private lessons and camps share rooms and instructors.
Martial Arts School
Set class capacity by usable floor area, staffing and program suitability.
Swim School
Pool lanes, permitted class sizes and instructor coverage constrain delivery.
Children's Sports School
Age groups, supervision and venue capacity determine safe sellable places.
Gymnastics Center
Apparatus rotation and qualified supervision constrain group size and timetable.
Courts, rinks & arenas
Tennis and Padel Club
Court rental, lessons and events compete for the same court-hours.
Pickleball Club
Do not sell the same court-hour to rentals, lessons and private events simultaneously.
Ice Rink
Ice maintenance and resurfacing reduce sellable hours; public sessions need safe attendance limits.
Equestrian Center
Riding capacity is limited by instructor time, suitable horses and horse workload; boarding uses customer-owned horses.
