Then add a short readout of what members seem to like or complain about based on public reviews, and call out any gaps in the market I could reasonably exploit as a smaller operator. I’m especially interested in class types, beginner-friendliness, women-focused or community-oriented branding, late-evening availability, and whether any competitor is clearly underpricing or overcharging.
