Where to open the next gym

What it does

Every month: the blocks of your city with the most working-age adults, the gyms and studios within 1 km, adults per gym, scored by xMap AI, approved, emailed and mapped.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Vancouver, count who lives around, sort them by adults_20_59 and keep the top 50, count the gyms, fitness centers and 2 more within 1 km of each, work out new fields, sort them by adults_per_gym and keep the top 15, score and rank them with xMap AI, wait for approval, then email the list to you and show them on a map.

Why it is useful

Members join a gym close to home or work. The blocks with many adults and few gyms fill a new club fastest.

The time it saves

Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 240 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 4 hours a month (an estimate). It is advanced: 11 blocks.
