Chapter 71: What if Xinghuo Goes Bankrupt? Group Exercise Classes!

However, at this point, the money in Su Yang's bank account had dwindled to only two hundred and seventy thousand.

The renovation deposit for the four-hundred-square-meter shop was fifty thousand.

The seven-hundred-square-meter office space cost forty thousand a month in rent; he paid eighty thousand for the first month's rent and a security deposit.

That black-hearted headhunting agency charged him two hundred thousand, and they even claimed it was a discounted price!

In addition to that, he had transferred one million into Jiuxiang Catering's account.

Various office supplies and simple renovations had already cost him three hundred thousand.

Even if the catering company had to pay for the renovation costs of the two shops, there should still be enough to pay the headquarters' staff salaries next month!

Over at the gym, the results were quite gratifying.

Because of the 59-yuan monthly card, too many people were participating in the challenge activity.

A massive influx of both new and old customers flooded the gym, exceeding its capacity.

Even with the launch of group exercise classes, where groups of young people followed an instructor in a large classroom...

They still couldn't fully accommodate the surge of customers.

This forced the three gyms to limit the daily issuance of the 59-yuan monthly cards.

Su Yang had already run the numbers.

After this event, the three gyms would not only earn a large profit but also gain a group of loyal users.

As long as the service followed through, profitability was no longer an issue.

Although it wouldn't make a fortune, Su Yang was already quite satisfied.

Everything was moving in a positive direction!

At 8:00 PM, Hu Bin arrived at Spark Fitness. Seeing the situation inside the gym, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

There were too many people!

As far as the eye could see, almost all the equipment was occupied.

He knew this was the gym's peak hour; he should have come a bit later.

Ever since he came to Spark Fitness for a workout last month, he had completely fallen in love with the place.

Compared to Xinghuo, the old Zhang Liang Fitness wasn't even fit to carry its shoes!

Xinghuo had a great environment, complete equipment, and the fitness coaches were all very kind and friendly.

Perhaps because the fitness environment was so good, he felt refreshed all over every time he worked out at Xinghuo.

After sticking with it for over half a month, he felt his sleep quality had improved, and he woke up every day full of energy.

He had also lost a pound, and his body felt healthier.

Recently, everyone in the same office had caught Type A flu, but he was the only one standing tall!

His colleagues in the office all envied his good health!

While feeling proud, he also recommended Xinghuo to his office colleagues.

In his view, it was better to get a gym card at Xinghuo than to give money to a hospital!

Although he was usually very busy with work and often had to work overtime...

He still tried his best to find time to work out at the gym three days a week.

Gradually, he also made a few friends at the gym.

They had set up a small group chat and would sometimes come to Xinghuo to work out together.

But today, Hu Bin came alone; the others were intentionally avoiding the gym's peak hours!

After showing his gym card at the front desk, Hu Bin couldn't help but complain:

"There are really a lot of people lately; it feels like there's no space left!"

The receptionist girl bowed apologetically. "I'm sorry. Recently, many members have flooded our gym, which has affected everyone's workout... However, we have already improved our operations and limited the issuance of new membership cards!"

"No, no, no!" Hu Bin waved his hand quickly. "I was just complaining. I know it's not easy for Xinghuo to operate. I hope your business prospers and wealth flows in!"

"Thank you!"

The receptionist girl said gratefully.

Xinghuo's service attitude and fitness environment were obvious to all.

Recently, as Xinghuo's reputation spread, the entire Rongcheng fitness circle recognized its service as top-tier!

But many fitness enthusiasts who liked coming to Xinghuo gradually developed another concern.

If the fitness coaches don't use high-pressure sales for classes, how can Xinghuo make money?

What if Xinghuo goes bankrupt? What should they do then?

One must realize that staff salaries, venue rent, equipment maintenance, utilities... these were all huge monthly expenses!

Even in their group chat, they would occasionally discuss this issue; some were afraid the owner of Xinghuo would quit one day.

Everyone could understand why Xinghuo was holding this challenge activity.

Even though the influx of people crowded the equipment and caused them inconvenience, most people in the group could sympathize.

At this moment, another sweet-looking receptionist wearing a cartoon hairpin handed the gym card back to Hu Bin with both hands. She then clenched her fist and encouraged him in an energetic tone:

"Sir, today is your fourteenth day of checking in this month. Keep it up!~"

In an instant, Hu Bin felt full of motivation!

"Yeah! I'll keep it up!"

He promised with a clenched fist.

"If there's no equipment available, you can go to the group exercise room for a workout!"

"Okay!"

Turning to enter the gym, Hu Bin had a smile on his face.

Then he heard another man's voice from behind:

"Beautiful, give me some encouragement too!"

As expected, there was no idle fitness equipment in the gym.

Hu Bin hesitated for a moment but still walked toward the gym's group exercise room.

Pushing open the door, he heard familiar music:

"Cross the rolling mountains, cross the endless sea, if expectations still remain, it's always spring until the flowers bloom..."

He felt this song was very familiar, and he could even hum along with the rhythm.

But he just didn't know the song title!

The group exercise room was packed with people.

A female fitness coach with a great figure was leading the group exercise with her back to them.

The others followed along, just like doing square dancing.

Another fitness coach stood to the side, using a portable voice amplifier to encourage everyone to jump along and cheer them on!

Young women made up the majority in the group exercise room, but there were also quite a few men.

Hu Bin also saw a young man about his age, who likely weighed over two hundred and fifty pounds and was covered in fat, also in the exercise line.

His eyes were fixed on the coach's movements, and he was jumping quite intensely.

He was dripping with sweat and panting, yet he was trying his best to follow the coach's rhythm!

The back of his white T-shirt was completely soaked with sweat.

There were also some young men and women who seemed to be newcomers.

Their jumping movements were indeed a bit clumsy.

But the people working out in the group exercise room didn't mock them.

Everyone was watching the coach and following the rhythm of the coach's movements.

Hu Bin usually preferred working out alone and didn't much care for this kind of group exercise.

But at this moment, he was gradually infected by the atmosphere.

The door he opened was the back door of the group exercise room.

Seeing that there was still room to stand in the back row, he hesitated slightly before finally gathering the courage to join the line.

He started jumping along with the coach.

At first, he couldn't quite keep up with the fitness coach's movements.

After all, he had no foundation in dance, aerobics, or sports.

However, no one noticed him.

Gradually, he felt his hands and feet become coordinated.

He could keep up with the fitness coach's movements and the music's rhythm.

Because the exercise movements the fitness coach did weren't difficult, and the rhythm was definitely not too fast.

It ensured that as long as a novice gave it a try, they could all keep up.

Once he got into the zone, following the rhythm of the music, the movements of the fitness coach, and working out with the group of people in front of him, Hu Bin felt inexplicably happy.

Even the frustration accumulated from work gradually dissipated.

He didn't know how long he had been jumping along.

Some people got tired and left through the back door.

New people joined the exercise line from the back door.

Just as Hu Bin was jumping with focus, he suddenly felt a pain in his right fingertip.

Turning his head, he saw a pretty girl apologizing to him:

"I'm sorry, my movements were too big and I accidentally hit you!"

Hu Bin said generously, "It's fine!"

Turning back, however, Hu Bin's mind was filled with that girl...
