It goes really well for the former the potential to Gustav Salinas right now. Back in april last year, he opened his first gym, FitnessNu, in Hillerød, denmark, and is now expanding he soon with another center.
The new center will be located in Copenhagen, denmark, and Gustav Salinas is now looking for a local, where there is space enough to operate the gym.
he says to Ekstra Bladet.
– I’ve got the economy in place and the green light from the bank that I can borrow money. It’s all funded now, so it plays. Now, I am missing only in the right local, which must be in Copenhagen. Like to Frederiksberg, Nørrebro or the like. We should not be out in the outskirts of denmark, says Gustav Salinas with a laugh.
He expects that the centre will open in the spring.
– But it is completely surreal that I get the opportunity to open a to center. I am really very, and that I have been allowed to borrow the money shows the also, that the bank believes in the project, says the happy fitnessejer.

According to Gustav Salinas he runs, however, also a quite big risk to open the new centre.
– I have had to borrow a lot of money. It costs many millions to open a center, and it is especially the machines, which are the most expensive. So one can well say that I bet everything, and if not it goes it’s going to do really hurt, and it will not be fun to go bankrupt. However, it is important for me that I try to live out my dream, and it’s not, it just says Gustav Salinas.
– I can lose everything I have. But the main thing is that I have myself, my family and friends. I have long been told that I am the ubegavede, but now it is him the ubegavede that employ people. I also think it is pretty cool, he says with a laugh.
Although Gustav Salinas is now moving into the Copenhagen area, where there are already many gyms, is he not afraid that his new centre will be ousted.
He would bet on something completely different than the large chains such as RATE (formerly the Fitness dk gym) and Fitness World.
– I can’t compete with the big chains, which have millions and billions, but I can compete with the mood. In the next week I put the pictures up of all the people who have lost weight in my center in Hillerød, denmark. I will show that it is the people’s center. It is the individual that is in focus with me, he says, and continues:
– That should be fun, and I will create a centre, where there is room for all, and where you know mrs Jensen and mr. Hansen. I am very up in, and that’s it, I would so me down. On the way, I should not compete with the big, saith the Gustav Salinas.
He hopes that the enlargement in Copenhagen is only the beginning of a long series of centers around Denmark.
– I dream also about to open centres on the island of Funen and in Jutland. I would like to be in all counties in Denmark within five years. You need to think big, otherwise you get nowhere, and so I just hope that people will love it, he says.
– But who knows? Maybe you see me soon in the ‘Luksusfælden’, says Gustav Salinas with a big grin.
