📊 Notes
-
Construction/Fit-Out: Assumes medium-grade commercial finishes at ~60,000 KES/m² (can adjust depending on landlord’s shell condition).
-
Flooring: Rubber mats in strength/functional zones + softer flooring for cardio/stretch.
-
Equipment:
-
300 m² supports ~50 members → ~5M–10M equipment.
-
600 m² supports ~95 members → ~10M–18M equipment (more machines, more redundancy).
-
-
Mirrors/Branding: Includes full wall mirrors for strength areas + lighting & signage.
-
Lockers/Showers: Depends on member capacity. A 600 m² facility likely needs 2–3x locker space compared to 300 m².
-
Contingency: Critical for imports, transport (especially to Mombasa), and unforeseen costs.
✅ Key Takeaway:
-
300 m² Nakuru Gym: ~31M – 37M KES
-
600 m² Mombasa Gym: ~61M – 73M KES
The Mombasa setup is roughly double the Nakuru setup but benefits from economies of scale (shared amenities, bulk equipment discounts).
