CrossFit has made a name for itself as one of the hardest workouts in the world and has become an absolute trend sport. In Germany alone, around 230,000 fitness enthusiasts train according to the successful concept. There are more than 190 CrossFit boxes throughout Germany, but the market is far from saturated. You want to fulfill your long-cherished dream of self-employment? Then get started right away! The conditions for opening a CrossFit studio are ideal right now. We tell you what belongs to the complete equipment and what you should pay attention to.
What does the training in a CrossFit box look like?
The CrossFit concept was created in 1980 by Greg Classmann and his wife at the time. This is a holistic training concept that combines ten different disciplines. These include strength, endurance, but also agility, balance and accuracy. A CrossFit training session usually lasts 60 minutes and includes a whole range of exercises designed to train the entire body. In addition to warm-up exercises, mainly skill and strength exercises, but also high-intensity training and stretching exercises.

Many CrossFit exercises involve training with your own body weight alone, but equipment and aids increase the effectiveness of the workout immensely. For the warm-up and endurance training, various cardio equipment such as ergometers or rowing machines are needed. For the other disciplines, you will also need about ten to twelve barbells and dumbbells, kettlebells, gymnastic rings, medicine balls, skipping ropes, fitness rig or pull-up bars.
What other equipment do I need?
Of course, the complete equipment of a CrossFit box also includes a reception area with a counter. This way your members feel welcome right away - and you always have an overview of who is coming and going. An access control is not absolutely necessary if the area of your studio is well manageable. Locking systems guarantee that your members can relax and work out without having to worry about their valuables. And of course, changing rooms and sanitary facilities are also part of a CrossFit studio. However, due to the small number of members, you can expect fewer cabins, showers and toilets.
To offer your members more comfort and differentiate yourself from similar studios, you can offer special additional services. Perhaps you can offer special sports drinks, low-calorie snacks, fitness shakes or similar in line with the healthy lifestyle of your members? In addition, you can consider whether certain music should be played during the workout and whether you want to have televisions on the walls. A coherent room design with appropriate color scheme creates a great atmosphere and completes the equipment of your CrossFit box.
Conclusion
A CrossFit box is an inexpensive alternative to a conventional large-space gym if you are thinking about becoming self-employed. In line with the training concept, you will also need special fitness equipment, locking systems and sanitary facilities. However, the smaller space means less room for equipment and therefore automatically lower costs for the complete equipment.
