A fitness – gym franchise opportunity
The brochure for power-lift Gym claims that by investing in a power-lift franchise, an investor will earn a quick profit. To support this claim, the brochure cites a variety of statistics about the current popularity of fitness and power-lift Gyms in particular. However, careful scrutiny of this evidence reveals that it lends no credible support to the claim.
One problem with the brochures claim involves its reliance on the bare fact that revenue from last year’s sales of health books and magazines totaled $50 million. This statistic in itself prove nothing. Health magazines do not all focus on weightlifting or physical fitness; it is possible that very few sales were those that do. Besides, it is entirely possible that in previous years, total sales were even higher and that sales are actually declining. Either scenario, if true, would serve to weaken the brochure’s claim rather than support it.
Another problems with the brochure’s claim involves its reliance on the fact that 500 power-lifting franchises are now in existence. It is entirely possible that the market has become saturated and that additional power-lifting Gyms will not be as successful as current ones. Moreover, it is possible that the number of competing gyms has also increased in random with the general interest in health and fitness. Without addressing this supply – and demand issue, the brochure cannot justify its claim that a new power-lifting franchise would be a sound investment.
In conclusion, the brochure is unpersuasive as it stands. To strengthen its claim that a new power-lift franchise would be profitable, the brochure should provide strong evidence that the general interest in physical fitness and weightlifting in particular, will continue unabated in the foreseeable future. The brochure must also provide evidence that home gyms are not serving as substitutes for commercial gyms. Finally, to better evaluate the argument, we would need more information about the extent to which the fitness gym market has saturated, not only by power-lifting franchises but by competing gyms as well.

Hey happy1992,
A well written paragraph with a good structure and sentence construction. As far as GRE is concerned both the Issue and the Argument task have a pre determined pool of topics. GRE does not ask new questions in the exam itself. It would be better if you practice the ones given out by ETS.
I am attaching links to the argument and Issue task essay pools.
Argument Pool for the GRE
Issue Pool for the GRE.
Hope this helps,
Regards
