Well its been a bit again since I posted last so heres a little update with the goings on at the new gym.
Everything is in! Well for the most part. Truck is a little fubared for the moment so transporting a few hundred pounds of concrete and rubber in the form of balls and tires is turning into a problem. At least until I can find someone with a vehicle and a few hours. Everything else is in. Racks, bars, weights...those damn weights. That reminds me to email this supplier on why the hell my bumpers are not in yet.
DERAIL---- So over 2 months ago I ordered about 1100lbs in bumpers and still have yet to hear about them coming in. Apparently they were out of stock with the rest of the country. Well word is going around that they are now in. Except this company I bought from has been dodging my emails for the past 2 weeks. Needless to say Im getting a little annoyed. Getting close to demanding my money back.
Back on track....
Theres a few things I think I want to tweak before I am really settled in. The flooring I bought took up a lot more space than I originally thought so I may reorganize it slightly. I need more mobility room on the one half of the facility. Right now theres barely enough room to fit my 2 prowlers without crashing into each other. Plus theres a slight angle to the floor so if you're not paying attention its very easy to drift into the wall. Done it twice so far.
So phase 1 is about finished. If you're wondering I have an idea of different 'phases' that this gym will go through. Phase 1 is what I have now. Phase 2 involves a turf floor of about 12'x50' and band anchor stations on the far wall. Phase 3 is the addition of an indoor throwing area. Probably hanging heavy mats and nets from the ceiling to allow every indoor and outdoor event possible. Phase 4 is the addition of dumbbells and squat rack. Phase 5? Probably a bigger facility. Chock full of good shit to play with including but not limited to a a tred sled, Woodway treadmill, proper testing equipment (laser speed test, vertimax, etc.), and a full compliment of strongman equipment. But thats sometime far down the road Id imagine.
Anyways apparently most of the pics I thought I uploaded never made it. Looks like my 4g doesn't work too well down in the basement that is my gym. May just need to spring for internet but coughing however much a month it is for that just is not worth it right now. Which stinks since I need some sort of connection for my credit card terminal. Hmmm. Well thats something for debate later.
Anyways, Im wondering on having a "Grand Opening" next month but not sure if there would even be a point. Could be fun. Will have to see what happens between then and now. Meantime I got to find me some more athletes and get some signups.
