<<I have a feeling that BFIT is trying to convince Wall Street that it will successfully be able to leverage their customer base for significant future revenues. We'll see.>>
Sam is keen in identifying their intention/hype based on the "success" of AOL/YAHOO/AMAZON. However I am an avid gym goer but I never pay attention to the few products sold at the 24hr Fitness center. This is the low price gym and at the due of $8 a month for a whole family I don't want to complain much. For the sucker Bally I don't know how much is their customer satisfaction when services might be little better than my chain gym but the cost is 4-5 times larger. 24Hour Fitness as well as others are expanding too, a tough competition to BFIT.
Most gym goers are very busy to squeeze out 45 min. to go to gym, they don't have time to look/buy hugely marked up products (vitamins, workout outfits) even I see very few who buy smoothies/juice/drinks after a strainous workout.
Based on this hype I think the stocks of chain Supermarkets must be 5 times more than their present. How about a stock for a toll road booths (just kidding to lighten up and wait for this sucker die) ?
