We Make Buying or Selling a Fitness Related Business Simple, Confidential, and Easy

Rich Jackim and Jim Bates founded Sports Club Advisors to create a market for small, medium and large health clubs, fitness studios, sports clubs and other fitness and leisure businesses.

Over the last 15 years, Rich and Jim have helped over 60 clients realize over $400 million in personal wealth. We specialize in representing high-end tennis, fitness and sports clubs and other businesses focused on the leisure and healthy lifestyle segment.

We have a database with over 2,000 registered buyers who get notices of each new client we bring to market. As a result, our closing rate is over 90%; significantly higher than most M&A firms.

Once you become a client, Rich or Jim will work with you, side-by-side, throughout the entire process, right up to a successful closing.
