Title: Its spider infested, smells bad, looks bad....but I will make it a PT Studio
Post by: Vince G, CSN MFT on January 07, 2013, 11:42:55 AM
Went over to do measurements for the carpet, get paint, and plan where equipment will be.   Its only 400 square feet total but the rent for the building is 300 a month and its in a nice area.


Here's a few pictures.  Everything is going to be ripped out and it won't look like anything before

This is a new era for Vince Goodrum, I say we all try and support him.

The place hasn't been rented in more than a year and the previous renter sold rummage clothes which is the reason for the spiders.  They'll be gone once all the carpet is ripped up and the place is cleaned

Interesting to think that Vince has been with Vissy for YEARS... how many of us have been their girls  that long?

Ever since my divorce I've been going through women like they were disposable wet naps... Only now am I changing my attitude.

I'll have some of Izzo's stuff but my money will mainly come from group training so I will have to keep the space open.  I'll also need to find a way to get a shower in there as there is only one toilet and a sink....otherwise, people will need to come dressed and wash up at home

DB's to 50lbs, TRX stations, a 0-90 bench, sandbags, KB's, some bands, etc. Don't worry about racks. No room. Do you have an outside area? Logistics done right, you could pull in $150-200k easily.

There's going to be very limited equipment I intend to use because I don't use much.  My training methods are generally bodyweight exercises for clients so it will mostly be dumbbells, kettlebells, Lebert Bars, etc.  

I will however squeeze in a Power Rack Set for myself.... ;D

Good luck, brother.
If you want to save a couple of bucks early on, it appears that most of the existing stuff you want to tear out you could easily do yourself with a minimum of basic tools. Many companies/contractors will knock a little off your total bill if you tear up and dispose of old carpets, for instance, before they come in to install the new.

You pretty much got what I'm doing down to a tee.  I've been training people out at the Jackson County Park for the past few years and its less than a mile from this place so I'll continue to do the same for athletes.  The studio is going to be for the private and semi group training classes along with business clients who want to train at 4 or 5am in the morning.

There are thousands of different bodyweight exercises I train clients which doesn't cost any money for equipment with numerous variations along with exercises with simple training aids such as bands, dumbbells, and kettlebells.....

A machine however will run thousands and it generally does just one movement.  But the real issues lies in a client doing that same exercises day in and day out....they'll either get tired and quit or they will buy a machine for their home.

Maybe do those same "body weight  exercises" for  6 months?
Decline push ups off the wall, 3 point push ups, dips, wide grip pull ups (for those Cobra Venom lats), and one legged body weight squats.

Man, I don't know how people can pay for something that they can look up online, or do by themselves.

I think you will do very well Vince.  There are MANY areas with no access to a gym or a personal training service that also have an aging population.  You should definitely branch out once you get this one up and running.

I was thinking just how much money someone could make doing this is small towns rather than focusing on a large metropolitan area and it would be a lot.  Plus, there is zero competition.  You or someone like Coach could make millions in an untapped market if done correctly.  All with little investment.

In Vince's defense, I've seen personal trainers at several gyms who've had the same clients for years.
I'm sure that, by now, these people know how to do all of the exercises, and I'm sure they know how to count. Many "average" people simply need or want motivation, companionship, or some kind of structure that they lack in training alone.

I doubt it's that low. But if he charged $300-350.00 per month with 40 clients thats around 14k per month. Even if he charges lower, he would do well. It's a training gym (as opposed to open commercial membership) business model that we've used for the last 4-5 years.

He has no shower facilities, ruling out any type of "before work" workouts.

He better have a big parking lot to "teach" Crossfit in.

Vince, whats your demographic?


I actually have a wide range especially tourists coming into town to gamble at the casino in Cherokee.  My place isn't in Sylva, its in Dillboro and I'm the building next to the Jarrett House.  The smaller building is where I'm located  

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Jarrett_House.JPG/220px-Jarrett_House.JPG)


Most to the high rollers will stay there and I intend to work out a deal with the owners where they can train them and give them a kickback for the referral....thus the 4-5am hours.....however because most of them are from Miami and New York, they won't blink twice over paying 100-150 dollars for a private training session while on vacation...especially since they are going to dump about 20-50k at the casino.  Two sessions and my building is paid for.  

For locals, I'll charge 30-45 dollars and group training sessions will be 5-10 bucks each.  Keep my line of Advocare supplements on hand to sell, fresh towel, and free bottled water and I'll be jamming

Fuck Crossfit.....the shower is mainly for my enjoyment along with the clients who pay for the private training sessions but even the gyms around here don't have showers.  Gotta give and take sometimes but I'll have a luxury shower put in to make it work

Ok, so you could charge at least $300-350 ea for group training per month in that area?

I can for the visitors coming to gamble but the majority will be the group training and locals.  I'll take a few months to see what works and what doesn't and if all else fails, I'll just turn it into a Body Solid Dealership and nutrition store.

No bank manager will lend him a cent for a business venture. Why he wants to work instead of staying home as the wife is a mystery. 2500 square feet should be a minimum to consider. 400 square feet? Lunacy. Next we will hear about his need to expand.

What is so hard about opening a gym? Have a go and don't have any regrets. Of course, guys like Goodrum won't listen to good advice because he doesn't have a clue what that might be. Joe could help him. Small premises - not tiny - with good service. I doubt Melvin wants to be helping people in a clinic when he can sit on his ass in his trailer and post on Getbig about his big dreams. Why people encourage him is beyond me.

I'm actually on a very very bust street. It is the main through way going east and west through our town of 12,000. Subway is to the east of me, Taco Bell to the west of me and Wendy's is right across the street. That's our cardio walking across the street or down the block to eat :)

I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but make sure you hire a good cleaner to hoover/wipe down everything each day etc. When your early birds walk in to train in the morning and it has a slight smell of cleaning products in the air, and there's no dust when they put down their bags/drinks it goes a long way.

If he has groups of.4-5 , it has to be done in such a way to where the next group doesn't run into each other. The workouts have to be done where they get the complete workout done in a short period of time.

We run grs of 6-10. When one group gets done and the other group comes in, the first group has to be done with whatever their doing. Same thing when I have teams of 80+ at the schools weight room. Except there, we run groups of 20-40 depending on the sport. All of has to be logistically planned in order for the sport or business to run smooth.

I asked you for the definition of the word "logistics". Maybe you don't know the definition of the word "definition". Anyway, since you don't know what the word means I will help educate you so you don't look so foolish trying to throw around business jargon. According to The Harvard School Of Business: "Logistics: Coordination of projected requirement, procurement, physical movement, and storage of components, parts, raw materials, and semi-finished and finished goods, to achieve optimum demand-service level at minimal cost.

Nothing to do with scheduling aerobics classes.

There's going to be very limited equipment I intend to use because I don't use much.  My training methods are generally bodyweight exercises for clients so it will mostly be dumbbells, kettlebells, Lebert Bars, etc.  

I will however squeeze in a Power Rack Set for myself.... ;D

Oh brother, so you're still claiming that you got "clients" ? ::)

If the rent is so low it's probably cause it s located in a place nobody knows...too far from the potential customers.  Is there a parking lot? is it going to be a private gym with only one car parked in front of it at a time or a public gym that will require a lot of parking space? You ll spend your whole life trying to find customers and once all the potential customers of the area are autonomous and can train by themselves -if they ever come to you to learn how to train-, nobody will join anymore. Very poor business plan, as expected. These kinds of places can only succeed if you own a hair dressing salon, a laundry, book store , a snack/restaurant...but a private gym? No way. And it's too smal to be a public gym. Oh well. Especially if you re not in a big city/rich crowded area cause only rich people would go to a private gym, poor people dont have that luxury. Doomed from start. At least once you ll know you re not going anywhere, you can stop renting and wont lose too much. Also did you hear about a thing called "recession" ?

I've been training people at their homes for years so I already have customers and my business is more than enough to support a PT studio....or perhaps you've been under a rock lately???

There's no such thing as a "no fail possible business" ....but that's what 6 month building leases are for. :D

Dude, you ve been bullshitsing us for years and i ve been calling you out every single time, none of your so called internet businesses ever earned you shit as predicted, and you re obviously again too quick pretending to have stuff you dont actually have. You just posted a picture of a place that s not even equiped, you have no customers, a shitty business plan as i exposed it in my previous post, you should keep quiet and humble because at the moment you have nothing but a dream, and an unrealistic dream, hope, at that. Most people who act the way you do fail, of that i am certain. Just like with your previous attempts at "internet businesses" you bragged a lot and spammed the board but none of that crap ever took off. You also changed jobs so many times, pretending to be a bouncer, correctional officer etc -yet you kept none of these jobs?-; i suspect most of these were bullshits too, you prolly overexagerated everything like most insecure drama queens, in reality collecting welfare checks all along the way.

Your business model, plan, is shit, anyone with half a brain can see it. For 300 bucks a month of rent i can only imagine the shitty area it must be located. If at least, you were owning the place, you could make profits easily, but there is no way in hell you re ever going to earn more than what the rent and electricity cost, unless you spend 24 hours a day 7 days a week non stop looking for customers. Even if you did, the potential customer base in the area would dry up quickly. The whole project is simply non sustainable from the getgo.
You re probably making an ass of yourself again while someone is ripping you of your money with a smile, but again, nobody s going to be surprised on here, we know you.

In fact the only way you could make money off it as a gym would be to own the place, and to make it open to public while spending your life looking for potential customers to train personally in addition. But again, people who want to join a gym will join the big chain gyms, not yours.

Now the icing on the cake: why would anyone in their right mind ever want any advices about physical conditionning from you? You re a liar and a cheat, you d probably lie to them and keep them ignorant as long as possible to milk them off of their money just like most PTs do until they quit, but to do so one requires at least some charisma, something you dont even have.  

Only big gyms can survive, or small -still, bigger than yours- ones if in a very very well placed spot in a huge city. If you personal train you either work for a chain or you do it in your own private gym/studio, but still , it has to be located in a rich neighborhood or in the center of a huge city to be profitable.


This thread and bullshit project/business of yours will end eactly the same way as previous ones, sorry to burst your bubble but it's probably better that way.

In life, there are hits and misses.  Some of my ideas have not worked, other have such as my most recent one which is an online grocery store, calibergrocery.com, which has been doing fairly well.  However, I'll take my failures anyday over your complete failure in life.  All you do is criticize and what I do is bring my ideas to completion.  You can never be successful if you don't try.

You live in a rich crowded area were people have the time and money to do the stupid stuff you sell. You catter to a very rich, special public, not the average joe and have been in the business for a long time, have a lot of connexions with scam artists like you, you re probably a drug dealer too being a life long steroid user yourself....you re comparing oranges and apples , vince goodcum is nowehere near as smart or experienced as you and prolly live in a far different place with a far different customer base.

 But you re both lying assholes tho, you re just better than him at lying and deceiving people.

On a side note your business will go bankrupt too one day, a gym simply isnt sustainable even in a rich area, going to a gym , paying a PT is a luxury for rich people, considering the economic collapse that s coming, less and less people will have the time and money to pay for such a luxury. Also once your clients are done learning everything they can from your shithole, they ll do their own thing somewhere else or build their own gym -or will quit the whole thing-. Physical conditioning is a personal hobby, and more and more people do it at home and learn everything from the internet for free. Training in someone else facility and injecting steroids doesnt last eternally for anyone and is completely dependant of the economy; when things get tough, all these unhealthy habits /lifestyle a few people are able to have cannot continue anymore.  
I'am also pretty sure you re a bad father to your abandonned kid and that you spend most of your lifetime focusing on your business that is about misleading people or selling them drugs instead of doing what is truly right.

Haha if only you knew... that's the difference between you and a succesful person; you brag about things you dont have with your big mouth, while smart people show off - if  they feel the need to- the rock stable stuff they have that is already in place and working after a clown like you ask them for a beating. You re just a dumb kid in a grown up retarded body.

Obviously you're clueless. 24hr has filed BK three times in the last seven years and would say everyone else (big box gyms) run in the red and have either filed for BK or about to. Most small gyms have a profit margin of 50% or greater, big gyms have zero to little profit margin. When you're charging $12 a month and have an overhead of 75k per month, you lose. Like you, their losers. Don't be fooled by how crowded a gym is. They're not building anywhere they rate they used to. Get out of this thread, you've already made too much of an ass of yourself, I'm embarrassed for you.

I'm easy to find. my info has been out there for years. I'm one of the few on here who hide, gimmick.

You've had almost as many getbig names as you have wives who left you for black guys. 

I don't blame you for being mad.  Being 5 foot 5 has to suck ballz.

Melvin,

If I were you, I would send Joe a private message and have him give you a little guidance.

Joe does this shit for a living and makes out pretty damn well.

Think about it, ..
"handsome"

The fuck?

All the best Vincent

I like Vince but it's always what he's gonna do, it's never "hey, look what I did".

Why not fill it with equipment and take some pics training the supposed clients? Guarantee that won't happen. Instead you get pics of some shithole that Vince claims he is renting and will turn into the next big thing. Just like he's about to buy land, or do a show, or expand his non existent business.

He is always talking about what he will do next but never actually does anything.

 
Most laugh but a few like Keith got mad with it. Anyone here some time knows his claims never, EVER amount to diddly.

The guy is full of shit and a compulsive liar.

There s no problem with hoping, having dreams, there s a problem with being delusional and having hopes that go nowhere, are doomed from start; it's called being immature and it gets old real fast when dealing with mature people -malvolent mature people will tear you a new assholes tho, too happy to have found a new sucker to rip off of his money and sometimes, good ideas-.
You re just a clown vince. Stop being a fag, get a fucking job and maybe a wife, and start building something solid instead of all that constant non sense you flood the board with once in a while. Oh, wait, now that's some serious stuff I'm talking about. Oh oh, it requires skills you still didnt acquire at such an advanced age.
Keep living in lalaland, two months from now you ll start a new thread about ANOTHER stupid project not even mentionning the past one that , as usual, went nowhere before someone mentions it and ridicules you AGAIN.
You realize you ve been doing the same shit over and over again since you ve logged on getbig for the first time, years ago?

Really???....here's the last project I worked on and its still up and making money for me.
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=426352.0

Some projects I have to shelf....others I complete.  If you're referring to Goodrum Nutritional Supplements 2 years ago, I still have all the labels for the products in boxes....there was simply an issue with the supplier along with some liability issues with the products.  


That's what business is all about.....you can't grow it without new ideas....but then again your opinions don't matter to me... ;D

Howard it is nice of you to encourage Goodrum. However, he has been telling us he is going to open a gym, studio, etc., for over a decade now.

He doesn't have the capital or equipment to open any such thing. Melvin likes to be Getbig's Walter Mitty. Just dreaming about what he wants

to do and some will think he is a good bloke and trying hard. No matter what anyone says he keeps coming up with these schemes but so far nothing

has materialized except his online enterprises.

There will never be a Melvin Goodrum Fitness center for these reasons:

Melvin is an out of shape obese slob in the off season & when he diets down to reach a normal bf%, his lack of muscle becomes evident  & he looks like a normal skinny/fat out of shape guy. Both versions of Melvin look like the 'before' pictures of a supplement ad. Why would anyone pay to have him give them advices.

Melvin Goodrum lives pay check to paycheck & there is no way he can afford the rent & equipment for a studio.

Melvin Goodrum has no real legit degree for anything fitness related. All of his degrees are bogus diplomas bought online & carry no weight.

Melvin Goodrum has no follow through or drive to succeed. He just likes to boast about things to boost his low self esteem but all of his ventures fail due to his laziness & lack of cognitive prowess.
