You should work on buying your own building that way your gym address will never change.

We negotiated a 5 year lease with 5 months free. It's not a big place (about 2000 sqft) in a non-descript warehouse in Huntington Beach.

sounds like the place for all kinds of illegal activity to occur.

Can we all have some free guest passes to hand out to the cage fighters in our gyms? You'd be doing us a real public service

Good Joe, but do you really think a gym is a good investment in this economy. You're a PT not a numbers guy so I was curious if you sought help in crunching the numbers?
-
grand opening - Al gore and nancy pelosi?

Bill Clinton and a little Monnica.

You should buy while real estate prices and interest rates are so low!

No Rob, not them. Opening a business is a form of capitism, I don't want the ruined before it opens.

Typically, gym business will be down during the summer, pick up around Sept thru Oct, slow from Thanksgiving through December. Don't get discourage. Keep expense low. Recoup your loss with new membership drive in January.
Good luck.

I agree with everything you're telling me, but the only thing is we are really not going to be open to the public, meaning we are only accepting athletes, the "weekend warriors", civil service types (police, fire, military and people who are trying to get stronger and better conditioned for physical testing) and of course people who want to train hard.

How does one go about joining your elitist gym?

Coach actually believes he is going to pay his expenses by offering memberships to less than 5%, if that, of the public. Hairbrain, all the way hairbrain.

Still don't like you, Joe but I wish you luck. Wouldn't wish misfortune on an expensive venture in opening a facility.

Good luck.

If you remembered what we talked about a while ago, one of the high schools I do the S&C for had about $300k worth of equipment donated to them from 24hr fitness, most of it was not equipment I would have taken but it is what it is. In return they gave me most of their old equipment, I mean bullet proof stuff....3 cages, olympic bench press, 3 0-90 benches, chest supported row, lat pull down, seated row, 2 glute/ham benchs, about 5000-7000lbs of plates, 2 Texas bars and 2 regular bars, bumbells, 4 trees and bunch of other equipment. The stuff from Elite would be jump bands, chains, boards (for board press), chalk bowls. Eventually with in about 6mos of opening, Tred Sled, Reverse hyper, Belt squat and other stuff.
Along with tractor tires, plyo boxes, sleds, prowlers, yolks, log presses and other strongman equipment.

LOL...It kinda works like this. I interview you, you don't interview me. It's about the training system.

Not a froo froo commercial gym Vince. Dude, do you actually think I'm stupid enough to start with a fresh clientele? The gym I'm opening is about a mile from where I train out of. I just grew out of the other one.
-
but what if they lie :o
Then they are told nicely they won't fit in. They will have a short trial period to prove themselves. If they screw around and disrupt and slow the pace or show no seriousness they cannot continue.
-
Way to go, Coach. I'd say "good luck" but, other than having the good fortune of living in this country, it's more your hard work and persistence that has made you suck a success. Wish I was still in Cali so I can visit your gym. BTW, I won the Silver back in 200(edit so as not to reveal my true secret identity) at the Pan Americans and I still compete (though not as much) does that qualify me as an athlete worthy of your facilities? I can bring in my plastic trophy and medal.
Also, though I can do a pretty good double leg take down I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to budge one of those tires. I have decent functional strength for my size but I'm no chaos.

Try to wish you luck and you respond in an arrogant manner as I should have expected. That's fine but like I said, Joe....everything is never cut and dry in the scheme of business expenditures.

hahahaha okay loser. you have done nothing in this industry, NOTHING. Yet you give advice to people who actually train and make a living from it. The really sad and pathetic part is that you don't see this and you are made a joke of. And the funny thing about the gym in Vegas. As much as I lost and wasted a year and a half I still came closer to opening a 60,000+ sq,. ft. facility than you did trying to open a 900 sq. ft. gym. I could open a gym like you dreamed with my own money without having to solicit investors. You can't even do that. Now that is pathetic. What happened to your so called investors. One of two things happened; 1.) you lied like you always do or 2.) the so-called investors found out who you were and you were full of shit and they left. I think it is a little both. What is it dipshit. By the way quit wasting space giving advice to Coach who knows what he is doing.

Who says I DIDN'T open my training studio??? It not required of me to announce my business ventures on Getbig, Keith. Its under a different name than the business so I don't get annoying people like Basile calling me..... ;D
I already knew from the very beginning that you weren't going to open that gym because you didn't have the capital to begin with. Fact is that you don't have the money that you claimed to have bragged about as you couldn't even pay back Travis his 2500. It was sad reading those emails from you saying you would send him 100 dollars here and then a check coming in and every other excuse you made.
Everyday, Keith you have an opportunity to have a more positive outlook on life and not talk trash about me but yet you simply can't help it....and then I have to remind you of your own stark reality which is that you're grossly overweight, you have little to no money, and you ripped off and cheated your own business partners.

Thats bullshit, if you were any kind of a marketer, you would be putting that name out there left and right. You know the shit I get on here but I don't let that sway me getting my name out. I make it easy for people to find me.

I only need to market it locally. A national presence is not needed. Speaking of which, I've redesigned my personal training website into a content management system.

Coach he is all smoke and mirrors. He dopesn't put his name out there because sooner or later anyone in his area will find out who he really is and is full of shit.

You know the funny thing is the past 10 years has been easily the worst of my life and yet they were still better than your whole life. Face it Goodrum you are NOT a personal trainer, bodybuilder or businessman. You are a pathetic person trying to cut corners to make it in life and you fail. You fail just like every contest you enter. Facts are facts. Honestly you should stay out of everyone's business concentrate on your own or just kill yourself. The later would be the best but Vissy might miss you. Sorry boy you lose everytime you open your mouth (except of course with Vissy)

it really never ceases to amaze me that people actually argue with goodrum. . .

It's not really arguing. He is way to stupid and fucked up to argue with. he is like a project for me. His bullshit and craps he spews on here and on other boards potentially can harm someone if they don't know who he is. I am having a ton of fun making sure I get everyone to know exaclty how he is. He could get someone as dumb as he is to actually hire him and then get hurt or damaged. I don't want to see that happen. So what I do with him is alot of fun for me.

nice shot first one shows a lot of improvement.
About the coach's gym though, I really doubt you can have an elitist type gym in a country that is in shit economy already. This is like a gym for 5% of the population like someone else said. Regular gyms that accept EVERYBODY have trouble getting by now let along only letting in 5% of clientele.

Apparently you're not familiar with my demographics. Thanks for playing tho!
Do you really think i'm stupid enough to open a gym with an exorbitant overhead in this economy?
-
do you think you will be on the evening news about a dude who owns a gym who interviews people, say you ask them if they are gay or they come in what you think is gay dress you will discriminate against them and they might sue the heck out of you for DISCRIMINATION!!! that is so bad coach, I bet if they say they like Barack Obama you won't let them join either, I can see the government stepping in and shutting down this place.

Are you going to be the main source for juice? Let me run the show or I'll have to send the homies from Big Stanton to tax you 10% just for selling juice in the hood. Wha cha say?
Thats the sad part of doing business in a mafia controlled area like Orange County. Any yes it includes juice!

Aaah I see, you're an OC local who talks shit behind a keyboard but if I were standing right next to you, you either wouldn't say a word OR try to be like "hey bud, how's it going".
As for the highlighted? What do I say? Hhahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahaha..........hows that? Pussy.

Is that right? So you do plan on selling juice am I correct? Let me guess you are the main source? Pussy. Ok man your living the dream obviously. Good luck on your gym! lol How much do you plan on grossing on your little project? Let me guess you aren't in it for the money.

Congratulations on the Gym, Joe. The best of success to you.
-
so if someone is fat (obese) and is looking to get into shape...
but their not what you would call "elite" material
would you deny them a membership?
since technically they can sue you for discrimination...
what to do what to do ????
-
No, that's not what I said. Anyone can train they just have to be willing to have the attitude and committment to follow the program.
-
Good luck Coach,
So your old gym became too small for your established clientele plus others wishing to join, hence you're expanding? Great.
When you say you dont just give anyone a membership, does that mean you cater for specific forms of training only, e.g. athletes, strongman, powerlifting, etc?
-

That's why I TRIED to wish him luck. Its easier to turn a profit when you don't have a gym overhead plus an abundance of members of the gym for advertising.
Now he's going to have to pay for the building and he'll definitely no longer have the luxury of being selective to his clientele. I think Joe will adapt to the circumstances but he won't turn a profit for at least 6 months. Huntington Beach's demographics should allow his business to work and at least he already has a built up clientele. He simply needs to keep everything in balance until its at a point to where he will make a profit from the gym.
One thing that helped me out a great deal was a company called GoSmallBiz.com. Their advisors helped me build a number of relationships with other companies to sell their products and showed me how to turn my hobby business into a full time career. It would be wise for Joe to have a business consultant on his side.
The reason most businesses fail is because the owners have too much pride to ask for help when they need it. After I got laid off from Alltel, I did what was necessary to build my business to where I could support myself. Even though Joe has an established clientele, he's still going to get his butt kicked a few times. But he'll be ok as long as he makes immediate changes when needed

Vince, you're do incredibly clueless its mind boggling.

Exactly, We do cater do all of the above especially athletes. This may include "weekend warrior" types and civil service.
-
Vince, you're do incredibly clueless its mind boggling.
And you have no respect whatsoever for personal trainers who work with regular everyday people. Your arrogant attitude towards picking and choosing only "elite athletes" is what's going to hurt you and I can assure you that it will chance.
A few months in the red should change your mind very quickly and wipe out that arrogant attitude of yours, Joe. I'm betting that you won't be stupid enough to actually continue in your pattern of training only elite athletes but I might be wrong. Either way, its your business, pal.
Good luck but seriously get your head out of your ass and stop thinking that you're better than everyone else. And although you're stupid enough to use steroids, I would suggest not keeping them in your facility. If they are found on your premises, your gym will be seized and your equipment will end up at auction.

1. Assclown, we do work with "regular" people.
2. It's not an arrogant attitude, why would I want to work with people who I wouldn't want to work with. After a while you HAVE to weed out the one's who put in no effort and make you look bad. If you disagree with that, then you're just taking money from them without looking out for your own reputation.
3. The "steriod" thing........again, you're an idiot. Why would I sacrifice my livelihood especially when I have high school and college athletes and the NCAA would be breathing down my neck?
4. I'm already opening with my existing clientele, my business philosophies have been the same for years, why would I change simply because I am moving into another facility?
Vince, you should reduce that $3000 fee you charge for "business seminars" and reduce it to $3.00 then slap the shit out that person who actually was dumb enough to pay the $3.00.
I've been nice up until now, but I see why Keith thinks the way he does.
BTW, for those of you who are wondering why I enjoy the bantering between Goodrum and myself, because in sick way I enjoy owning him day in and day out!

Congrats on the gym. Couple of questions: will there be bible study sessions in the afternoons? Are there going to be plasma screens with Hannaty & Glen Beck all over the place? Will Lori be giving private PT sessions?
Thank you :)

I'm not trying to be a douche....but things don't add up with you coach.
You have posted numerous times how successful you are, and that you make shitloads of money from training clients....but you are opening a 2000 sq. ft. gym with secondhand equipment from a high school ??
Not trying to be a dick, but i would think you would go a little more high-end than that if you are that successful .
But Good Luck...seriously.

I'm no business genius but seems to me one of the first rules of business is to keep your overhead down. If someone gave me $20,000 worth of equipment, why would I buy something new of the same equipment I already have and for 3 times as much? More high end to me would be getting a tred sled or belt squat. Also, it's about the results of my clients not necessarily the gym. Some of the best gyms in the country are relatively small. It's not about flash what so ever.

..planning on being in by July 8)
good luck coach, hope you do good. now where's the pics of your gym?

1. Assclown, we do work with "regular" people.
No you don't. You work with athletes because they are willing to train. You throw "regular people" under the bus instead of making an effort to help them out
2. It's not an arrogant attitude, why would I want to work with people who I wouldn't want to work with. After a while you HAVE to weed out the one's who put in no effort and make you look bad. If you disagree with that, then you're just taking money from them without looking out for your own reputation.
I don't "super qualify" my clients and I don't have the luxury of picking and choosing people. Its my job to give them a proper training sesssion and advise them on nutrition and diet. If people quit, then it doesn't fall on me because I did my job and it doesn't hurt my reputation because I didn't make the decision. If you "weed" out people then it ruins your own reputation because you made the decision instead of the client and they'll tell their friends.
3. The "steriod" thing........again, you're an idiot. Why would I sacrifice my livelihood especially when I have high school and college athletes and the NCAA would be breathing down my neck?
Please don't tell me that you didn't use steroids for your last show. If you had any sense, I would stop or go to a clinic and get them legally. You're old enough anyway
4. I'm already opening with my existing clientele, my business philosophies have been the same for years, why would I change simply because I am moving into another facility?
Because now you have a much larger overhead as well as no longer having the benefit of getting new clientele from the previous gym you trained at. That means you'll need to attract new clientele in order to cover the deficit
Vince, you should reduce that $3000 fee you charge for "business seminars" and reduce it to $3.00 then slap the shit out that person who actually was dumb enough to pay the $3.00.
There is actually a huge market for running seminars for MLM/Network Marketing health companies to sell their business opportunities to others.
I've been nice up until now, but I see why Keith thinks the way he does.
You should have taken my compliment of good luck and left it at that but you decided to throw a hand grenade in return. BTW, Fuck Keith
BTW, for those of you who are wondering why I enjoy the bantering between Goodrum and myself, because in sick way I enjoy owning him day in and day out!
Don't humor yourself and I'd suggest to stand down or you'll get the same thing that happenned to poor little Keith-bar
Anything else, Joe..... ::)

Thank you :)

I rarely agree with you because you are a weird person, but the one thing you said earlier is true...Joe's tune is going to change real fast when he realizes that he's not a some super-trainer..... and people aren't going to be banging his door down for the privilege of training at his "exclusive" gym.
I hope he makes it, joe's cool....but that is not realistic thinking right there. If i had to "interview" to be allowed to join a gym...i would laugh in the guy's face and piss on his carpet

This is the gym that I trained at when I was living in California. I was there from about 2000-07. It's located in El Segundo, CA which is about a couple of miles from LAX. Though it was a public gym for all practical purposes it was private. It was not the type of gym the general public would want to train at (no a/c, just 3 bikes and one tread mill). Nonetheless a lot of top atheltes would train there including Lyoto Machida, Jacare (world champ Jiu-Jitsu champ), Dan Henderson use to train there until he moved but still stops by, Frank Trigg use to be part owner and was there everyday teaching classes and training while I was there, Valdy Matyushenko (IFL heavyweight champ) was also there everyday.
The two owners seem to be doing well by the homes they bought and comfortable lifestyle they enjoy. The two pictures make the gym seem way bigger than it is but compared to modern health clubs it's pretty bare bones.
The first pic is from one corner of the gym where the mats are (a corner I was frequently pinned against and tortured). Over to the left is where the free weight area was which included a platform where you could do powerlifting and Olympic lifting and chaulk and slamming the weights to the floor was allowed. As you move right you can see the "cardio" equipment which was three bikes and in back of that some old Nautilus machines included their now hard to find neck machine. Then you have the ring where I would get the carp beat out of me, then more punching bags. It's kind of hard to see.
(http://www.r1gym.com/images/r1_475.jpg)
This is another view from the opposite corner standing in the ring. Again nothing fancy but because of the environment (serious athletes) and having the only power lifting platform in the area, it never hurt for member despite zero advertising, hard to find, very little parking and very consumer unfriendly (they don't really have anybody working the front desk and when I first walked in after being ignored for about ten minutes I got a "Need something? from Trigg.)

The concept wouldn't work in my neck of the woods, NYC, but in an area where high school sports are huge and a lot of kids are looking for scholarships, he might have a shot. Apparently, Coach has a reputation in this area. In addition, given the size the gym, he has to be exclusive because of the limited space.
In any event, good luck Coach.

Like I said, tweety bird chest on a wrinkled, crusty, body with an A shaped frame. Instead of pressing (humping) the camera to try to look as big as you can, try staying away from it and then take a picture.

See, this is the thing....there are ALOT of gyms that follow this type business, it's nothing new. I guarantee if you were too walk into westside (no, I'm not comparing) and laughed in there face and pissed on their..er, cement floor chances are Louie Simmons wouldn't let you leave without maybe hobbling out..LOL!
Nothing "exclusive" we are just want an atmosphere of hard work and camaraderie to push people hard. I work with a few high school teams (a total of about 120 or so kids). The main purpose of having this gym is so I can effectively train teams. We have training system that works.

Right now, the biggest gyms/health clubs in Manhattan are Equinox & New York Sports Clubs. These are "lifestyle" gyms. People go there as much for the amenities as to work out.
That seems different than what you're going for.

Thats a great way to put it. If I can get better results from my client out my little gym with a small overhead then they can out of a 50,000sq ft froo froo gym with a million dollar a month overhead I'd feel like I was more successful. Strange way of thinking about it, but thats just me.

Vince, it would be fascinating to see what it's like to see the world through your eyes. To most people there is nothing about you to suggest that you are a serious wreight lifter but through your eyes you are a competitive bodybuilder that belongs on stage. Pellis carries considerably more lean muscle than you do and is in far, far better condition even whe compared to your contest ready physique.
You actually seem like a good enough guy but your so arrogant and delusional. Don't yuo ever sometimes wonder why you get no respect on this board? Why do you think that is? Are we all rascist? Maybe jealous? Seriously, don't you ever wonder?

It's my understanding that Pellius lives near the beach in Hawaii, and you live in trailer somewhere in the deep south with a feminine homosexual. Speak on this?

There sure are a lot of troll accounts around here but Pellius does not even carry half the muscle I carry and never will no matter how many drugs he shoots. And that distended belly of his looks really bad. Obviously a classic textbook case of Palumboism. If you notice in my picture...no distented belly with a V taper....
And why would be jealous of internet trolls??? They don't do anything in life, are cowards who hide behind the computer, and they spend way time on it trying to get attention from people like me who have a life.
Now run along to bed.

I was not addressing you but while you're not an internet troll, you are however an arrogant jughead who thinks his shit doesn't stink, talks way too much about politic which annoys even me since I'm a Republican, and has no idea as to the job of being personal trainer.
Fact is that you would never make it as a personal trainer in a smaller area where you couldn't just pick and choose your clients which is something you should not do anyway. You attitude sucks, you use vulgar langange in your blogs and you can't even call yourself a sports conditioning specialist when you didn't even finish college.
Get you head out of your ass and never think that you're a better trainer than me. I would never just throw someone to the side. Trainers work through clients difficulties and help them out...not just shove them out the door when they don't "measure up to your standards"
-

Amazing how clueless you are. Why is college a prerequisite to being a successful coach and trainer? Cus D'Amato and Freddie Roach don't have a college degree and produce great champions. Arthur Jones didn't even finish high school. Charles Glass makes no mention of a college degree. Even Milos list various education regarding nutrition and anti-aging but no mention of an actual college degree. Whereas there are countless PT's with degrees and a host of certifications that never competed in a sport, are not in shape, and just parrot the latest rage they learned in a classroom or self-study course like "core", Swiss Ball, and kettle bell training which most are meaningless and some counter productive.
Coach is a far more successful trainer than you and works with some world class athletes and is financially successful. Coach is also in far better shape than you have ever achieved in your life. He actually looks like he works out. You really don't.
And you want to talk about "working through client's difficulties" and getting rid of people "who don't measure up"? Try to read, if your attention span will allow, Arthur Jones' biography. He'd throw someone like you out the door just by looks alone. And if you even think about resisting you'd be looking down the barrel of a Model 48 Smith and Wesson.
Once again, Melvin the delusional one, you are wrong on everything.

Funny you mention Freddie Roach, when I was watching the Pacquiao fight my wife and I were actually talking about that and how great of a trainer (conditioning as well) he is and how he wasn't a great fighter but turned out to be one of the best boxing trainers ever.

But can you imagine how much better Roach would have been if he had a college degree and was PT certified and got to put CSN MFT after his name?
And lets not forget the most successful MMA coach, Gregg Jackson. To be honest, I don't know if he went to college or not. He did wrestle but doesn't mention at what level. The point is that whether or not he went to college he felt it was so insignificant to what he actually does and has accomplished that he makes no mention of it.
As a previous poster mentioned, it's amazing how Melvin sees the world. His level of delusion and wanton self-deception is truly mind boggling. It is obvious to everyone except Melvin. How can this be?
Throughout my career in emergency medicine I have been amazed at the human capacity for self-delusion; we are the only animal in nature that can lie to itself. We do it so well that the majority of people are totally unaware of what motivates their actions, most people do not act to achieve consciously named goals; rather, they act to placate subconscious psychological value conflicts.

I don't think he wants to.
I believe I have a decent understanding of what the Intense One has planned.
Every type of gym has a target demographic – even if it is the general public.
Joe’s facility will not handle, cater, or appeal to circuit training soccer moms or guys who’s weekly regimen consists chest & biceps (often done inside the only available power rack) 4X/week.
Joe possesses a real world reputation and offers unique services (over the cookie-cutter ACE graduates) along with the appropriate environment for the clients who are seeking these kinds of things.
And I doubt that having a BS that qualifies him to be a phys-ed teacher would benefit him at this point.
Of course he’s not gonna have the same membership volume as a 24-Hr Fitness, but neither is his overhead.
In addition to that balancing ratio, I’m sure his MMA guys & other athletes are going to pay him more than $25/hr. because he’s worth a lot more than the “franchise” PT’s who all not only wear the same clothes, but train every client the same way – texting on their phones while counting reps out loud.

In addition to that balancing ratio, I’m sure his MMA guys & other athletes are going to pay him more than $25/hr. because he’s worth a lot more than the “franchise” PT’s who all not only wear the same clothes, but train every client the same way – texting on their phones while counting reps out loud.
That's fine to say that if his facility is targeting athletes. However, Joe's place is equipped with used equipment from a school that was getting rid of it in a 2000 sq ft facility which is very small considering what he's wanting to do and how many trainers he has and in comparision to facilities that employ similar training to Joe's
If Joe is making 400k a year, then he should go out and put some money on some good state of the art equipment. There's a reason why that school is giving away all that equipment for free and its prob because its old, rusty, broken and/or no longer safe to use. If it was worth 20k or even 5k, then the school would have sold that equipment rather than give it away.
But we'll have to see when the gym is open. Hopefully Joe will take some pictures of the place

Vince, you don't comprehend very well do you? Go back and read the posts on why they gave the equipment to me. It's in perfect condition. Don't even get me started on the bullshit gimmicky "state of the art" equipment. Here's two of the best known gyms in the country with out "state of the art" equipment from both power lifting and bodybuilding.now kindly STFU and maybe you'll learn a few things.

These gyms are famous for the PEOPLE THAT TRAINED THERE. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the equipment itself.
Personally, I would never accept a gym with weight shrewn all over the floor, floorboards falling out of place with no obvious housekeeping done whatsoever.
While a gym doesn't have to be as clean as a doctor's office, it should be ran and operated like Dorian Yates Gym where the weights are re-racked and clean and Bill Pearl Gym where all the equipment was wiped down and cleaned everyday to avoid a staph infection or some other nasty buggers.
It does not take but a little time and effort to put your weights up and clean the facility. Those gyms may have had the greatest bodybuilders, powerlifters, and athletes train there but they are still a dump and the owners should be ashamed of themselves for letting a gym looking that way.
A dirty unkempt gym with weights all over the place isn't hardcore...its a health hazard and its one of the reasons why Ronnie slipped and messed up his back while doing squats on the Metroflex because some idiot carelessly left his garbage there.
And like I said, I can only go by your description of the equipment which is secondhand used equipment. If it was perfect, then the school would not have given it away for free but once I see pictures of your gym, then I'll be able to make more well informed opnion.

Doesn't mean shit, Joe. You have to pay the gym's expenses, not your clientele. Buy some new equipment for the gym at least. Don't open up a secondhand gym.

Vince, is this the kind of business advice you give for $5k?
-
But can you imagine how much better Roach would have been if he had a college degree and was PT certified and got to put CSN MFT after his name?
And lets not forget the most successful MMA coach, Gregg Jackson. To be honest, I don't know if he went to college or not. He did wrestle but doesn't mention at what level. The point is that whether or not he went to college he felt it was so insignificant to what he actually does and has accomplished that he makes no mention of it.
As a previous poster mentioned, it's amazing how Melvin sees the world. His level of delusion and wanton self-deception is truly mind boggling. It is obvious to everyone except Melvin. How can this be?
Throughout my career in emergency medicine I have been amazed at the human capacity for self-delusion; we are the only animal in nature that can lie to itself. We do it so well that the majority of people are totally unaware of what motivates their actions, most people do not act to achieve consciously named goals; rather, they act to placate subconscious psychological value conflicts.

I have asked the same question twice in this thread.
It is being ignored totally to facilitate more Coach and Vince G flirting.` It was also a genuine question.

Shoot got some catching up to do, Been in the hospital with pnuemonia since Monday night. For my fans out there you will be happy to hear that I made it. The cool thing is all the shit they tested on me that I was going to have done on April 1 when my insurance kicks in. But, couldn't wait. Other than the pnuemonia in my right lung and a blood oxygen level of just 84 I passed all other tests. My heart is fine not enlarged or broken at all. Liver, and everything else perfect. See, 40 years of living healthy has made me make it through this. So my past has helped me agian. Sorry guys. Definitely woke me up. My blood tests all came back great and I will be posting them as soon as I get copies. I am fat fuck but I am internally okay for now. I was a little worried.
I see our resident idiot Goodrum is still at it. It amazes me how he gives advice he doesn't even follow. I love it how he says something about college to coach. Goodrum is to fucvking stupid to go to college so he takes courses online. He is proud of that. He is truly trailer trash that just will never get out of that living so low that anything is a great thing. I mean he brags about coming in last place. The only place in the world he could train anyone would have to be where he lives. A whole neighborhood of Goodrum's. But, I still think he doesn't have any clients. He has NO testamonials or photos of his clients. Then he comes up with privacy issues. Clients love to help their trainer out to get more business. Not Goodrums though. Anyway, I have to try and sleep a little. That fucking bed I had was about the size of a sleeping bag.
Goodrum fuck off you low life loser. Face it you are a burnt match ;D
-

He mispelled cocksucking and put business. He is so fucked up. He has never had a client do this. NOT ONE. He puts it on his to make himself feel and look important just all the other lies on his website. That is why he is dangerous. He really need to kill himself

I'm sure your pnuemonia made you gain about 300 pounds just like that spider bite.... ::) I'm also sure they treated your cold by spraying you down with warm water just like they do with beached whales..... ;D
Welcome back thundercheeks however your gross obesity is a contributing factor as overweight people are more prone to disease and sickness. Stop making excuses and lose some weight.

Agan you show your ignorance. When I get copies of my blood tests let compare and see exactly how much more internally you are healthier than me. Being overweight has nothing to do with me getting pnuemonia dipshit. But considering how overweight I am my organs and vitals are all normal. All this did was light a bigger fire under me to get into shape. See Goodrum I can get back into shape, but you never can. Big difference. You are a loser and something you grew up with. You can't change and that makes you worse off than anyone.
-
good luck joe..

The only criteria is that they have the attitude and commitment train hard, they don't have to be athletes. There is a short trial period to see if they can make the commitment. If not, I will suggest another place for them to go where they might be happier.

Man I gotta tell ya that it is fucked up. I am back in the gym getting strong starting to do cardio then this hits. I got the flu and thought it would go away. It just got worse. I swear I was breathing so hard and fast. I just couldn't get my breath. Went in to my docs and he put that thing on my finger and said it was at 84% and he was calling an ambulance. I was with my buddy from hawaii and he took me to Summerlin Hospital. Now I am back home should be okay to go in about a week. One more thing. I get home and where they took some blood from my right hand now my hand is swollen and looks like a MMA glove. It hurts like shit and I can't bend my fingers. I swear I caan't believe the shit that happens. Oh well can't wait to get back to Hawaii where I never got sick.

I rarely agree with you because you are a weird person, but the one thing you said earlier is true...Joe's tune is going to change real fast when he realizes that he's not a some super-trainer..... and people aren't going to be banging his door down for the privilege of training at his "exclusive" gym.I hope he makes it, joe's cool....but that is not realistic thinking right there. If i had to "interview" to be allowed to join a gym...i would laugh in the guy's face and piss on his carpet
correct me if Im wrong, but isnt that how hes been operating thus far, and outgrown existing premises in the process?
-
"our" gym.....so.... your wives gym after the 5 divorce's then huh...
Fixed. ;D

..planning on being in by July 8)
Best of luck Coach!

hey coach how do people generally come to be trained by you? mainly word of mouth?
-
I don't know if he presently owns a gym...I thought he used someone else's facility.
I do, but the way I described how I run my business is basically the same way I've been doing for years. I'm not going to fix whats not broken. I just grew out of the facility I am currently in.

I think the point melvin is missing is that coach sells his services as a product not his gym as a product like planet fitness or the like so the actual gym isn't the main selling point.

I also think Coach isn't opening a "Gym" per se, as much as he is a personal training facility. Which is phenomenal if he has that much clientele that he can support his own space

I've not missed any point. I know Joe prob has a decent clientele however time will tell whether opening up a gym will increase revenue as well as cover operation expenses and attract new clientele to compete with other sports training facilities like this one

Of course, when I come to California I'll make sure Huntington Beach is my first stop.

My overhead is small compared to what I bring in. Don't worry poopy pants. That's part of the reason why we're opening in a warehouse instead of retail. Why pay $2.50sqftfor retail when I can pay .75 and get more out of it? Would you like to pay $3k so I tell you how it's done or should I just do it for free?

Holy piss…
Pneumonia?
Were you sick at all before that?
Oftentimes it starts as bronchitis and the fluid in your chest becomes infected, thus turning into the shit you developed.
Anyway, take care, man.
Glad you’re (getting) better!

If you're assuming that I trained there, you're sadly mistaken. At the time, I was working for Alltel so I would not have given up my job in addition to simply not having the education in sports conditioning and nutrition at the time however D1 used to pay a king's ransom if you referred people over and they signed up. It was a nice way of making a little cash for showing people the right direction for the best sports training facility in South Carolina. Nowadays, they just give clothing and stuff out.
I may not have trained here, but I still got my money anyway.
Of course getting back to subject. The reason I highlighted D1 is to let Joe know that he's playing in a new ballpark. Most sports facility like this one is over 10,000 sq ft, has state of the art equipment..not used, and trainers which credentials that puts people to shame
The Head Coach of D1 in Greenville for example has a Grey Cup Ring for crying out loud (That's the Canadian Version of the Super Bowl Ring) along with a Bachelors degree. The Co-Owner all played in the NFL with one of them having a Super Bowl Ring.
And we're talking about ONE FACILITY of D1 Training. There are similar facilities in CA if not larger. Joe is going to have to compete with these mega sports facilities that are well funded and well equipped. That's just the reality. While he doesn't need 10,000 sq ft, he does need comparable equipment which he can afford to get and should get

Those kinds of places are nice.....but when hit with this kind of economy they take a huge hit. I talked to Loren Seagrave the founder of Velocity sports performance and while it's a great facility they're over head is ridiculous and had to shut some facilities down. Same with Parisi speed, even though they haven't shut down facilities, they're getting killed with over head expenses. I might not have a huge facility, but I can get just as good if not better results from my clients with a smaller facility with a fraction (literally) of the over head then they can with their exorbitant overhead and stay in business.

It was a nice way of making a little cash for showing people the right direction for the best sports training facility in South Carolina. Nowadays, they just give clothing and stuff out.
I may not have trained here, but I still got my money anyway.
Of course getting back to subject. The reason I highlighted D1 is to let Joe know that he's playing in a new ballpark. Most sports facility like this one is over 10,000 sq ft, has state of the art equipment..not used, and trainers which credentials that puts people to shame
The Head Coach of D1 in Greenville for example has a Grey Cup Ring for crying out loud (That's the Canadian Version of the Super Bowl Ring) along with a Bachelors degree. The Co-Owner all played in the NFL with one of them having a Super Bowl Ring.
And we're talking about ONE FACILITY of D1 Training. There are similar facilities in CA if not larger. Joe is going to have to compete with these mega sports facilities that are well funded and well equipped. That's just the reality. While he doesn't need 10,000 sq ft, he does need comparable equipment which he can afford to get and should get
No I don't

Those kinds of places are nice.....but when hit with this kind of economy they take a huge hit. I talked to Loren Seagrave the founder of Velocity sports performance and while it's a great facility they're over head is ridiculous and had to shut some facilities down. Same with Parisi speed, even though they haven't shut down facilities, they're getting killed with over head expenses. I might not have a huge facility, but I can get just as good if not better results from my clients with a smaller facility with a fraction (literally) of the over head then they can with their exorbitant overhead and stay in business.
Joe, when clients shop around they look for the following things:
1. Trainer's Background & Education
2. Facility & Equipment
3. Cost of Training
I'm not trying to slam your business but you have to take into consideration your competitors who have larger facilities, seemingly better equipment, and more credentials. That's just the facts and while you might have the fortune of other facilities going out of business due to overhead, you can't count on that happenning within your time period in which to make money on the facility.
Its not about the equipment, but prospects still look at the equipment first and take it into consideration when looking for a facility

Vince, you do realize I've been training people for about 25 years right? And have been doing this full time for about 18 years and co-owned a facility for about 10 of those years, right? Pretty sure I know what I'm doing!

Coach has people coming to him that want something different and the ones that stay know they have to work hard... having a basic facility won't matter to them they may even prefer that kind of environment.

Coach can't believe you just asked Goodrum if he "realized" something. He doesn't realize anything. He is in his own fucked up world

While the above is often true of "general public fitness centers," results can carry much greater merrit.
Client lists, testimonials, and reputation are more relevant for Coach's demographic.
Athletes, and those who train like them, are usually more concerned with their progress than a gym's square footage or if the equipment is 2 yrs. old or 5 yrs. old.
If they can get better results in a smaller facility with older equipment, they will.
And they will also pay good $$ for access to the place, but more importantly, the guy who can give them those results.

At 400+ lbs you're susceptable to disease and sickness.
As promiscuous homosexual you are susceptable to HIV, AIDS and other sexually transmitted disease. Even more so in your case since you are a submissive bottom with a penchant for crack addicted black thugs.
