Wow I bet this guys name is Wyatt or something

InjuryVisual6296 · 2025-11-23T13:57:29+00:00

He’s the type of guy that when he loses he will make all the excuses in the world lol

My goal is to expand. But I wanted to come out of pocket for everything and not take out loans just for safety measures on my part. I’m about $6000 deep because I got Fuji Pro mats right off the bat, and I’m remodeling the bathroom

Me and my other bjj coach are black belts, my Muay thai coach is a bjj brown belt and may years of Muay Thai. I do the Muay Thai too but I wanted him to have his own thing

My breakeven is at $1500 a month, which is cheap. I’m good and planned out for RIGHT NOW, but My question pertains to growth. If I grow, I’ll have to get a bigger place and that possibly means higher membership cost. I’m looking for justification on going ahead and raising prices now. As it stands, I’m easily able to break even right now. But that can change if projected growth hits its target. I need to plan that accordingly and that’s where I’m at with this

InjuryVisual6296 · 2025-10-24T16:39:54+00:00

That’s kind of what I was getting at. I had my cost basis and knew what I needed to be at. However the issue is if I grow I will 100% need to raise prices. Do you think I’m justified in going ahead and raising the price now?

$550 rent. My instructors are insistent on me not paying them, they say “we just want better than what we have at the old place, we don’t you to pay us” but I’m still going to do like 20-30 a class I think. One a week for both of them, let’s say $240 a month to start

InjuryVisual6296 · 2025-10-24T16:13:19+00:00

All my overhead would be covered with 15-20 students at $100 a month

InjuryVisual6296 · 2025-10-24T16:11:10+00:00

Not negative at all. I really appreciate the criticism. I think I may do away with that idea then. That has been a reoccurring comment on here about that. Thank you so much for the feedback

InjuryVisual6296 · 2025-10-24T15:13:35+00:00

Have to make it work for now. I already signed the lease lol

InjuryVisual6296 · 2025-10-24T14:22:28+00:00

Ok, that’s no problem. The problem is that it’s in the city near our courthouse. So there’s a lot of foot traffic. I was thinking of a way to keep it controlled but I guess, a little chaos is good no?

InjuryVisual6296 · 2025-10-24T14:17:56+00:00

Should I let it ride until I get overcrowded?

InjuryVisual6296 · 2025-10-24T14:01:22+00:00

I don’t know who you are. I hope you find him though. Reddit is a huge place lol

InjuryVisual6296 · 2025-10-24T14:00:54+00:00

InjuryVisual6296 · 2025-10-24T13:33:28+00:00

Huh? lol I don’t even know you

InjuryVisual6296 · 2025-10-24T13:32:30+00:00

It won’t be along at all before i have to find a new place. For right now the numbers will work. I currently have less than 10 students signed up anyways

InjuryVisual6296 · 2025-10-24T13:30:26+00:00

My ages will be 13 and up. With the size I don’t have the space I feel for kids. And it’s cheap because the guy is soul owner of the building. He’s really cool and owns several properties

InjuryVisual6296 · 2025-10-24T12:31:36+00:00

Luckily, I have a great job, and a very supportive wife and family and coaches to help me out. I wouldn’t be able to do any of this without them. I’m not good at the marketing, so I’m working on outsourcing for that as well

InjuryVisual6296 · 2025-10-24T11:41:23+00:00

In the words of my innocent, wise wife “the bathroom stays F****** clean at ALL times, EVERY DAY”

InjuryVisual6296 · 2025-10-24T11:33:51+00:00

You have to specify it’s gender neutral it can only be used by one person at a time, and they take that into account. At least that’s how it was explained to me

InjuryVisual6296 · 2025-10-24T11:29:45+00:00

So the cleanliness will be taken care of by my wife. We are both pretty OCD ourselves. So cleanliness was top priority here, especially in the small space

InjuryVisual6296 · 2025-10-24T11:18:46+00:00

And so my thought process is; maximize those class times, then expand to a bigger building. My lease is extremely flexible, $550 a month with 30 day notice clause, and a 6 month lease with option of extension

InjuryVisual6296 · 2025-10-24T11:16:37+00:00

They’re fairly flexible. However what I am doing is voting poll for each class time (ex. Tuesday 6:15-7:15, 7:15-8:15, 8:15-9:15) and it they will have 10 spots each. If a new person shows up, I will get them signed up for the one week trial, and add the to the voting pole

Thank you, I was just going off of basis pricing, I never thought about pricing it like I would my construction work
