Can you make money by putting vending machines in gyms? We imagine that gyms used to be places where a lot of sweating was required and there was certainly a demand for drinks to be consumed when you were thirsty, so can you make money putting vending machines in gyms?

It is possible to put vending machines in gyms, but you need to think about the problems you might encounter when putting drink vending machines in gyms. Overall it comes down to saying that I am not optimistic about simply placing beverage vending machines in gyms for the following reasons.

1.Selling water does not make much sense.
A large proportion of the people who go to the gym are over-nourished, obese people, or fitness enthusiasts who are already in good shape but want to get better. They go to the gym mainly to lose weight and get in shape, which means they are more concerned about their sugar intake than the average person. The biggest advantage of drinks is that they have a lot of sugar, so I don’t think it makes much sense to sell them in the gym. Of course, if you don’t sell drinks but just water, mineral water or pure water, then the profit is very low.

2.Bring your own water bar to the gym
Many gyms have free water bars, which are provided free of charge to gym goers. So do you think there is an advantage to placing drink vending machines in such an environment? Obviously they don’t sell. Take a step back and say the gym doesn’t offer a water bar. Many people who go to the gym will also bring their own water to quench their thirst after a workout.

3.Rent control
If you can find a gym that doesn’t offer a water bar, then rent is a key point to consider. Even if the beverage vending machine in such an environment can produce a single, point rent is certain to control, I think that in such an environment, point monthly rent can not exceed 800 yuan a month, otherwise it is likely to lead to your gym vending machine loss of capital.

4.Crowd flow situation
The footfall varies from gym to gym. There are some gyms that are hotter and some that are colder. This aspect must be examined clearly, in places where the flow of people is not enough to put beverage vending machines, the consequences are only one: not earn money.

To sum up, I think there is no prospect of beverage vending machines in gyms. But what if we think differently? What consumes more in the gym? Those who want to go to the gym hate fat and love muscle. Yes, what works for building muscle is protein powder. If we sell protein powder in the gym, I believe the result will be another side of the story.

Not many people are doing protein powder vending machines at the moment. The market prospects are good. As long as the brand of goods is over the top, many people who go to the gym will be willing to buy protein powder from the gym.
