In this Stock Market X-ray, Giovanna Weber shows how Edgard Corona went from a debt-ridden premium model to building a low-cost, high-scale operation with millions of students paying recurring monthly fees. The story begins with Bio Ritmo, a luxury gym created to serve a high-income audience in São Paulo. The problem is that selling exclusivity in health had a clear limit: high costs, a small audience, and tight cash flow. After years of accumulating debt, the company needed to completely change its strategy to survive. The turnaround came with the High Value Low Price model, based on high value and low price. Instead of expensive pools, saunas, and facilities, Smart Fit focused on the essentials: weight training, treadmills, durable equipment, spacious facilities, automation, and affordable monthly fees. This simplification allowed them to attract a huge number of consumers who previously avoided gyms due to price. Smart Fit's model also reveals how large-scale companies make money through predictability. Plans like Smart and Black, loyalty contracts, membership fees, maintenance fees, and a high volume of students per unit created a recurring revenue machine. Even with high fixed costs, the company managed to transform low prices into a competitive advantage by operating with a large number of clients. The pandemic was the biggest test for this model. With gyms closed, students at home, and fixed costs running high, the company saw its debt grow and needed to resort to the capital market. The IPO on the B3 stock exchange, under the ticker symbol SMFT3, provided financial relief, helped reorganize the balance sheet, and prepared the company to capture the recovery of the fitness sector when restrictions began to ease. Today, Smart Fit combines international expansion, TotalPass, digital subscriptions, franchises, and a presence in several Latin American countries. But this growth also attracts competitors, such as Bluefit and Selfit, increasing the competition for students and putting pressure on the sector.
