Hey Tre, she is real good. Pregnant again, with our 4th child, so she has been real busy.
She is still training and will get back in shape in no time, in fact she dosen't really get out of shape.
After our 1st she did the Arnold fitness, then after the 2nd she did a bb show here in Oz. She did not get time after the 3rd, so I am sure she will do something next year. I am a very lucky guy, still madly in love and we both love parenthood.

Cool promo video!

Musclecenter would you ever train at Dohertys? You seem too hardcore for places like that.

Exactly what I was thinking.
Musclecenter would probably start a fight and get thrown out. Then he'd ride off into the sun set on his HD.

I competed Men's World in Aussie 1988 and visited Gold-Coast Gym in Brisbane .
But never visit Dohertys Gym in Melbourne, I hope to visit the mecca in the future.

Tony,
When are you going to cross the pond and come over here to the U.S. and teach these promoters and gym owners the right way to do it?

Is it open on the holidays?
We are open 24:7 every day of the year. Some people Need to train.
I went 24 hours in 1998 and threw my keys away. I thought at the time that it would be half hearted to have keys when I was never going to close.
Best thing I ever did in business.
Everyone else closes on the major public holidays, which works great for me. Our busiest days of the year are xmas day, boxing day, new years day and good Friday.
Some gyms close from xmas to new year, so their members come to me, have a great experience and end up joining.
We have no salesmen, no membership consultants no telemarketing and no mainstream advertising at all. I use the opposite model to the rest of the fitness industry and people love it.
Check this out!
Our mission is to smash the boundaries, to do it bigger and better and to do it our way. To achieve this we provide an ever improving, unique and motivating atmosphere. An environment where athletes and individuals, with a common goal of self improvement can congregate and share in knowledge and experience. They will not be restrained by time of day, or by pathetic fitness industry trends and standards, but by their desire to be their best.
Tony Doherty.

I wish there was a gym like this in Texas. The best thing we have is Golds and 24hr, but they close on Thanks Giving and Christmas. I just dont get the fact when a place is called 24hr fitness it should be open 24/7 dammit all to hell.

If you stay true to this 24/7 thing and you never close, even in the roughest weather. You will be the best gym out there by far, just saying. I just hope to know you if you come down to Texas, so you can hook me up with a free membership ::).

You know I would love to open in Sydney. I just need the right location and the right people. Every day is one day closer.

Once I get he systems right I would be OK to license to the right people in the right locations. It is not for everyone but people like us are not being catered for anywhere.
I like the people that no one else wants, we make up 3-5% of gym goers but have close to zero gyms to support, do the maths. It is the biggest niche in the market as I see it. Plus the fitness industry as a whole suck balls and most gym staff and owners make me throw up in my mouth.
I recently had Cena and Batista train here and they loved it because every fucker left them alone.

It is a combination of me running the pro shows, our profile in Oz and my contacts.
In this case Cena's people contacted me for him to do a photoshoot here, he loved it, trained in peace and then spread the word. By the time Batista came to Oz, he had heard about it and once again loved it. He trained in the ring with his sparring partner, full on and all the way a big dude.

I like the promo TD you should run ads on ch 9, the promo true to the gym - Def one of the best gyms I've trained at.
