Business preparation
Business identity
Name, slogan and first definition of the value proposition.
The 7 rounds
The first four rounds focus on preparing the gym. The last three simulate Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 of operation. What is practised —price, premises, team, marketing, adaptation— is transferable to any business programme.
Business preparation

Selection of the space, location, capacity, cost and fit with the strategy.

Year 1 of the business
Operation and first results
First comparison of decisions, customers, revenue and costs.
Year 2 of the business
Adapting to events and competition
Strategic adjustments based on data and market changes.
Year 3 of the business
Closing, ranking, final analysis and report
Accumulated results, comparative reading and final documentation.
Realistic timing
The facilitator can run a compact session. The full 7-round experience with complete discussion needs more time.
Compact format
Up to 2 h 30 min of facilitation. It prioritises the key decisions and a closing with results. It fits when the schedule is short or when a specialised consultant provided by PSITEL takes part.
Full experience
7 rounds with explanation, submission, results and conversation. It usually fits into half a day or two blocks. The teacher decides how much debrief to insert between rounds.
The teacher's role
- Leads as Game Master.
- All that is needed is Wifi and a computer or tablet to share the screen (with a TV / projector).
- Sets the pace and timing, and explains, where appropriate, the material considered relevant between rounds.
- Sees which teams have submitted decisions.
- Processes results.

- Facilitates conversation and analysis.
