We may not be able to use ratshot, but in either of those situations the sharp end of a shovel will suffice as long as we avoid getting bitten by the politicians.

Take this with a heavy grain of salt / potentially it's horrible advice for actually getting where you want to be. But, in terms of paying the bills / making it work. The % of the market that can afford $100+ a week for a personal trainer might not be massive.
Diversifying at the start might not be a horrible idea. Not talking a 20+ person boot camp where you're at the front of the room screaming through a mic. But if you did go your own way and had a couple of racks in your establishment. Running 4-6 people for less cost each might be a good way to keep the lights on. Go the local high school and offer 2-3 sessions a week for $40 a person. Find the 6 most suitable & boom. Half your rent is sorted & you've still got plenty of free slots for 1 on 1 clients. (Again, not talking from experience, grain of salt, yada yada..)
