Slowly crawling to liftoff

This is getting about as exciting as its getting annoying.

Talking about a few things dealing with the new 'gym'. I say it that way as there is not an actual gym as of yet. Regardless Im slowly knocking out the essentials.

Name registry- Not so much a pain in the ass as it is confusing. There is A LOT of info on the Secretaries web site to sift through but luckily the bank manager was helpful in pointing me in the right direction. Just hoping Im not spending money on the wrong damn things now. The new name?
The Body Forge - Strength Systems
Just a slight change. Im shying away from fitness as that wont be my core clientele.

Whats next? Insurance. That will get renewed later today as I now have some errands to run.

So what else do I need?

Off the top of my head I still need some equipment. I was so close to landing a stellar deal on a dumbbell set but the guy already sold the stuff. I mean 650 for 1000lbs of dumbbells is a steal. So I cant be too surprised. That and squat racks. Everywhere Im looking theyre shit. Like utter shit. Or its a Smith Machine. Which, frankly, calling a smith rack shit is a insult to the word.

So whats good news? Well word is I should be expecting a call back from the facility Im trying to move into. If this works I will have such a badass place to start Im getting twitchy from thinking about it. And its not the 2 cans of monster Ive already had this morning. I mean we're talking 800sq/ft of concrete and cement with a 2 story high ceiling and a 250'x200' turf indoor field 10 feet away! Holy $#%!!!


Other good news- Ive been getting a lot of positive feedback from potential clients. Seems there is some severe animosity going on at a certain gym that athletes are just not happy about. And the more this starts bubbling up the more my results are becoming visible. Well, its tough to ignore improvements of 50-100lbs in a matter of weeks as far as strength tests go. Even I was impressed with our last strength test and some of the guys are chomping at the bit for next weeks test day. After some of the following; girl trap deadlift= 340, boys front squat= 315, boys vert 29.5@210lbs, and hang snatch of 200lbs...Im getting a little excited too.

Anyways if things go well I could theoretically have 20-60 clients day 1...but thats SEVERE optimism bubbling up. Ill be happy with 5 on day 1.

But in the meantime I have some more stones to make and a budget to put together. Somehow 1200 bucks needs to buy me, well, EVERYTHING I need now.
