Treadmill Tycoon!
Getting started from day one
Step
When the game starts, you receive a gym building and a set amount of starting cash. That money is enough to place your first piece of equipment right away. Once something is on the floor, members will show up and begin using it, and their fees become your income stream.
- Check your starting cash look at your funds before spending anything.
- Buy a treadmill it is the first equipment members will use and fits within the starting budget.
- Wait for members to arrive they come on their own once equipment is down.
- Watch the income come in each member who uses a machine pays a fee that adds to your total.

Expanding your gym
TipsOnce you have steady income from your first treadmill, the goal is to reinvest in more equipment. Variety matters here: members have different exercise habits, so a gym that only has treadmills will appeal to fewer people than one that also has dumbbells and other gear.
- Add different equipment types — treadmills, dumbbells, and other machines — rather than doubling up on one kind.
- Think about which members you want to attract and pick equipment to match a range of workout styles.
When income stops growing
CheckIf your earnings have plateaued, run through these checks before spending more cash.
- Have you placed every piece of equipment you can currently afford?
- Are the machines you already own actually being used by members, or are some sitting idle?
- Is the layout easy to move through?
- If cash is tight, can you start with a cheaper piece of equipment to keep income ticking over?

Common questions
FAQWhich piece of equipment should I buy first?
Start with a treadmill. It fits within your starting budget and is the first thing members will use when they arrive.
What do I do when I do not have enough money for new equipment?
Let your existing machines keep earning until you have enough saved up. If you need to move things along, look for a cheaper equipment option to place in the meantime.
Does it help to place lots of the same machine?
Not as much as adding variety. Members have different preferences, so a mix of equipment types — treadmills alongside dumbbells and other gear — brings in more people than a gym full of identical machines.
