Hi,
I want to start up a gym business, would someone help me with tips on how I can get money to start this and which equipments to buy if my budget is about 55,000 dollars? Please advice too on where I can get equipments at fair prices that can be shipped for me to Kenya.

What kind of gym are you asking about here, please? Where I live, a gym could be a place where you lift weights and do other kinds of exercises or maybe a place where people go to practice gymnastics.
