ClubIntel Annual Boutique Fitness Studio Operator Report (drop-in pricing distributions

Boutique Class-Pack Pricing Calculator

Build the boutique-studio class-pack pricing ladder from a cost-plus floor and a competitive-set anchor. Computes the per-class floor at the target gross margin, the recommended drop-in price (cost-plus floor clipped against comp-set median), the recommended 5-pack, 10-pack, and 20-pack prices at standard boutique discount tiers (10% / 15% / 25%), the recommended unlimited monthly price at typical boutique attendance volume, the per-class effective price for each pack tier, and the breakeven attendance per pack against the drop-in alternative. Reports a pricing-position flag (BELOW_COMP_SET / ALIGNED / PREMIUM / OVERPRICED) so operators can sanity-check whether the cost-plus floor sits inside the defensible competitive band. Industry benchmarks drawn from the ClubIntel boutique studio operator reports, IHRSA Industry Data Survey segmentation, and ClassPass marketplace pricing data. Tool, not advice — for pricing decisions tied to elasticity testing, multi-location rollout, or franchise pricing covenants, work with a credentialed pricing consultant who can layer demand curves and segment mix onto this baseline.

ClubIntel Annual Boutique Studio Operator Report (per-class attendance distributions

Fitness Class Attendance Breakeven Calculator

Compute the minimum class attendance required for a group fitness class to be contribution-margin positive. Models both standard instructor compensation structures: PAY_PER_CLASS (flat instructor fee regardless of attendance) and PAY_PER_HEAD (base pay plus per-attendee rate). For each model, reports the fixed cost of running the class, the variable cost per attendee, the contribution margin per attendee, the breakeven attendance, the total contribution at typical attendance, and a head-to-head comparison so operators can evaluate which compensation structure minimizes breakeven for their attendance distribution. Surfaces an attendance health flag (STRONG / HEALTHY / WARNING / UNHEALTHY) calibrated to the 1.5x and 0.7x breakeven thresholds. Industry benchmarks drawn from ClubIntel boutique studio operator reports, IHRSA Industry Data Survey class-scheduling data, and the AFAA and ACE group fitness instructor compensation surveys. Tool, not advice — for class-scheduling optimization, instructor compensation strategy, or multi-location schedule planning, work with a credentialed operator CFO or fitness-business consultant who can layer demand-pattern modeling onto this baseline.

26 USC § 179 (immediate expensing election rules

Gym Equipment Amortization Calculator

Compare the two standard federal-tax depreciation paths for new gym equipment purchases: 26 USC § 179 immediate expensing versus MACRS (IRC § 168) 7-year recovery under asset class 79.0 (recreation industry assets). Layers a financing schedule on top of the depreciation analysis: amortizes equipment cost over the financing term at the operator-supplied APR, computes the per-year tax shield under each depreciation path at the operator marginal tax rate, and produces NPV-based comparisons at the financing rate as the discount rate. Reports monthly financing payment, total interest paid over the financing term, per-year tax shield under § 179 (front-loaded into year 1) and MACRS (spread across 8 tax years per IRS Pub 946 Table A-1: 14.29% / 24.49% / 17.49% / 12.49% / 8.93% / 8.92% / 8.93% / 4.46%), NPV of after-tax cash flow under each path, per-month effective cost (financing payment minus amortized tax shield) under each path, and a treatment recommendation (SECTION_179 / MACRS_7_YEAR / NEUTRAL). Industry benchmarks drawn from IHRSA equipment lifecycle data and the IRS Publication 946 depreciation tables. Tool, not advice — for federal-tax planning tied to actual return filing, equipment acquisitions above $250K, or complex entity structures (multi-state operations, S-corp or LLC pass-through, bonus depreciation interactions), work with a credentialed CPA or tax attorney.
