I really like your idea of starting a gym type business. Why not open a gym/fitness/activity center specifically for children? Now that school is out, and it is soooo hot in Michigan right now (I live near Lansing...93 degrees today), and children bore of the same-ol, same-ol I would think a fitness center that is focussed on fun fitness would be a great idea. I imagine there are some strict state and federal guidelines is you intend on operating similar to a daycare, but a fitness center is not a daycare. I would think there are a different set of rules and regulations.

Please keep us posted on what you come up with.
