Established, Profitable Boutique Gym for Sale in Prime Federal Hill Location

Federal Hill Fitness is a well-established and profitable boutique gym located at 39 E.

Consistently voted Best of Baltimore by Baltimore Magazine for over 20 years, and recognized with numerous awards from The Baltimore Sun and City Paper, the gym has built a strong reputation in the community. Positioned directly next to Cross Street Market, it benefits from outstanding visibility, steady foot traffic, and a built-in customer base of young professionals, families, and long-term residents.

The business operates from a purpose-built, multi-level fitness facility and has developed a strong local brand with deep community ties. Federal Hill Fitness enjoys a 4.5-star average rating across Google, Yelp, and ClassPass, with consistent praise for its welcoming atmosphere, cleanliness, diverse class offerings, and knowledgeable staff. This reputation has translated into strong member retention and predictable recurring revenue.

Financial Performance & Stability:

The business has demonstrated consistent and meaningful growth.  Profitability is strong, placing the gym at the upper end of industry margins.  Seller's Discretionary Earnings make this an attractive owner-operator or semi-absentee opportunity for someone with industry experience, specifically personal training and/or health club operations.

Diversified Revenue with Clear Upside:
