stay bullets? I am interested, are these bullets that "stay" in the air?
Vince: years of being self employed and you have yet not figured out that if a deal sounds too good it probably is.

Location?

my sister pays about that much in Chicago for her office space. Commercial real estate's really taking a shit these days.

I live in Sylva. There's practically no crime in this area. You can even leave your doors unlocked if you wanted to. Its a pretty sleepy area

Seems kinda expensive for a public library vince

Yea, Real Estate really has hit rock bottom. Its actually in a building that was built 3 years ago but the meltdown pretty much left it empty. I already have all the equipment in storage, I would just need to paint the inside and have the carpet steam cleaned at most.

Vince are you hyping up "The Deliverance Executive Offices" again?
Let me clue ya, the view of the river still is not a selling point.
-
Is it abandon?
No, its a relatively new building.
-
another brilliant idea/investment from our resident gay autistic black loser without a doubt. Will end just like all his other past projects.

What are u going to do with it though vince?
You need a business to go with the office space for it to work
-
Worthless business headquarters, how can I help you?
Please drop a dollar in the hat on the way out, I'm taking my company public,

And I pay 520$ a month for my 30m^2 flat with one room and kitchen in Poland. ROFL.

Group Training is the best to make a lot of money in fitness. Its easier to get 10-20 people in a class to pay 5-10 bucks bucks a head on a consistant basis than to have one person pay 70-100 dollars for a session. Not only that, you can schedule it at a particular time to continue to train private clients
How do you think Coach makes all that money?? He trains groups of people at a time and in California, you can charge a pretty penny. I may disagree with him on a lot of things but I do pay close attention to some of the things he does.

So, the rental for your business costs more per month than the purchase of your trailer cost you? ??? ???

But will you get 10 - 20 people comming along everytime ? - plus paying the trainers to take the classes - also is there going to be a gym area - so more dollers for quality equipment - selling supplements to ? you said yourself its a sleepy area so will you actualy have interest in it - its cheaper to buy stuff online - outlet stores do find it hard to match prices of online places like for example bb.com - its good to have dreams Vince but there is so much to take into account for it to be a success.
-
Talking to the only pt who ever got anywhere, he said he mostly does group training, that's how he makes most of his money, though I think he bangs a lot of rich older women and this is how he got to where he is
-

Yep, my mortgage is only 106 dollars a month. Its mostly paid for

Trainers would work on a commission basis. I already have all of my equipment and supplements since I've been selling it for over 10 years. I'll just take what I need and that's it although I need very little equipment. I don't need to worry about BB.com because people get instant gratification buying directly from the shop rather than paying shipping fees and waiting a week to get it. And no, I'm not going to make it into a gym....don't want to spend my time being some salesman.
No business is an easy as cake but if you plan ahead, you can save yourself a lot of headaches

vince, you know cash flow consists of debits and credits. for some reason, i don't think you're accounting for debits in your business models.

Stay away from the gimmicky shit like "Zumba" Vince. Have you read Thomas Plummers stuff? I've been reading his writings for years and this weekend finally got to attend one of his business seminars.

I know its a gimmick which is why I'm not going to do any of the training. I intend on having instructors come in and do the training for commission and get a cut of the revenue. People seem to like it in this area so why not take advantage of some easy money.
-
Read Plummer, PT is taking a different direction and that ain't it no matter who is teaching it.

Really?? I'll check out and see what he has to say.

If you can get that place for $300 take it. It doesnt matter whether you're store front or not. Seriously.

vince you get many of your clients wanting to look just like you?

No clue Goodrum sees a cheap rental so figures this is an opportunity too good to pass up. He approaches his local bank manager who is licking his lips at the thought of getting such a large account. Only in Sylva, NC!
Goodrum is full of shit. He has no business plan and has no equipment stored except what is in his trailer! What a buffoon.
First of all, wtf kind of group personal training studio can you open in 800 sq ft? Do the math. That is 40 feet X 20 feet. Or 32 feet X 25 feet. If you have some equipment there and a change room you won't be able to swing a cat.
Goodrum and Coach are both dreamers and neither will have a proper fitness studio. Don't waste Getbig space with your harebrained plans because they are just dreams that will never happen.
Would anyone in his right mind pay Vince G CSN MFT to personal train him? I doubt it.
-
In goodrums defence small gyms are more profitable than big box gyms. 24hr Fitness has filed BK 3 times in 7 years because their business model sucks.

Come on, Joe, 800 sq ft is not big enough for anything but a garage or basement gym. 2000 would be a very small gym.
-
Vince, with your supplements will you also be selling your training bras over the counter? Can they be bought on line thru your new website>
-
2-3000 would be plenty for anything perhaps a little more if you include a 25-30yrd track. I have an 800 sqft warehouse that I train my athletes out of plus another facility where my general clientele is trained. My 800sq ft I pull in over 100k and my total over head is about $1300. The gym is fully equipped and is not far from a 24hr or LA Fitness. Trust me when i say gyms like that, Golds franchises included are in finacial hardship. Big gyms and their business models dont work anymore.
-

I was drinking soda and literally started laughing so hard it fucking went up my nose and burned and all! LOL
Thats a great fucking deal though! I rented a place that same size for a few months down here in Florida (where its supposed to be cheap) and it was over $800/month
-
This is like feeding the village idiot. Well, Goodrum is clearly the town fool on Getbig. He doesn't disclose where the premises are or anything. Just another bullshit story to make people think he is some kind of astute businessman. He is married to a bloke and now claims he is bi. Yeah, sure.

Well, you're on a roll aren't you Basile??? Perhaps its because school's back in session and the kids are not roaming out on the streets anymore.
BTW, I suppose being an astute businessman means having my father buy a gym for me...right Vince.... ::)

If you were paying attention, you crusty old fuck, then you know that I have no desire in opening some gym. They are a waste of money and time and simply not substainable in small towns.
-
Backwoods in NC I assume Goodrum. Do they have any liquor steels out in the woods could be some extra cash for you.

Keith was right, you are an asshole, Melvin Goodrum. Playing the pedo card is about as low as anyone can go even on Getbig.
How in the hell would you know what is substainable in NC? Your ignorance is sustainable.

Wah, Wah, Wah.....stop crying you big baby. You're the one who decided to step into my thread and talk shit and in fact you don't even know what you're talking about. Mega-Gyms are going the way of the dinosaur. People are tired of signing 3 year contracts and not getting any help in the gym without paying a personal trainer making their fitness goals impossible to accomplish. Gyms count on people signing up, working out for a few days, getting fustrated and leaving....still having to pay the remaining 3 years on their contract.
I want to run a facility that gets results and I don't want to spend all my time selling gym memberships. I want people to come in anytime they want and get the help they need. That's why I became a personal trainer for and that's why I'm opening a PT Studio. Now buzz off.

Why anyone would hire a personal trainer these days is either old or just wants to throw $$$$ away. three year contracts?? I know that mega gyms offer that, but most gyms will offer month to month or year to year. So, are you trying to open up a Gym like Andy had in Mauldin, S.C.? ??? If so, then he did pretty good, but i believe he threw his $$$$ away on hookers, new cell phones, cars he could not afford and coke. :-\ Power hours was a great gym, but i have no clue how big Sylva, N.C. is and you seem to be going for people who are 70...maybe you could teach a Geriatric class. I am sure they make $$$$ too.
-
Melvin, you know nothing about the gym business. Small communities can sustain a gym. Sure, not a big gym. In big cities there are heaps of big gyms. I guess you have been in the backwoods of NC so long you have no clue what is happening outside your small trailer. To be sure it is a hard business. You can also hire staff to help you.
The plain truth is your PT studio is a pipedream. I doubt you will ever open one. We have been hearing this crap for years now.

Actually I would have an elderly fitness class. There are a number of retirees in the area with a lot of disposable income. Its a matter of demographics and common sense to cater to them as well. There's still a market for one on one personal training but the current trend is in group training. People want personalized training at a low price and group training somewhat allows that.
There's already 2 gyms in Sylva and they are doing very horribly to say the least, the largest one is currently in foreclosure and they are a few months away from being evicted. People have simply gotten tired of the same old "sign this contract and don't bother me again" type business. So I'm not going to go down the same road

I had one in Greenville, dipshit. All of my equipment is in a storage building that I pay 30 bucks a month for. The reason I haven't opened one here is because I've concentrated more on my online businesses.

Actually, its increased a great deal ever since I started selling pools, spas, and water ionizer kits. My Alexa ranking for Caliber Fitness Solutions is at now at 527,000 with 2 other sites of mine under 1 million. However, you can never make enough money these days.

My web/graphic design biz is virtual and we're thinking about getting back into a brick and mortar. Many potential and current clients say it adds a sense of legitimacy to the biz.
We're looking at $350.00/mo for about the same sq/ft, plus it's centrally located in the downtown biz district here. If it will help garner more clients, it's worth the small expense. $350.00 is peanuts.

So, you've never had anyone complain, yell or scream at the staff at your gym, Basile????.... ::) That's exactly what this person did after he decided to play "Mr Fix-It" on his exercise bike. I could have sent him a new bolt and fastening via Priority Mail and he could have been back up and running in 2 days. Instead, he strips the bolt causing the entire assembly to be replaced. After speaking with him, I contacted Sunny and they shipped out a brand new assembly to him and I paid the shipping on top of that.
The trademark of a good business is not having any problems but taking care of them when they arise. He was just a very unique person with a serious anger management issue.

I've had clients complain about me overcharging them for free service, believe it or not. Wouldn't be surprised their complaint is registered with the BBB or something of that nature.

Melvin, did you get someone to check your claims on your site? The reason I ask is because some of what is there is unclear the way it is written. You claim you "provide affordable health and fitness solutions to unfavorable medical treatments and procedures." Do you mean 'for'? How can you claim that? You are not qualified to give medical advice.

The problem is the big commercial gyms are losing money with these stupid $19mo memberships and lower and the equipment is catered to towards bodybuilding than actual fitness with all of the machines, it's been the same model for 30 years and these gyms haven't evolved with the times. 24hr, Ballys, LA Fitness, Golds are all getting killed by smaller gyms. I guaranty I can open a 1500-2000 sqft gym that actually gets results out of my clients and can turn twice the profit of anyone of those commercial gyms. use to be 24hr was opening a gym a month now it's two a year if that and it's not because of the economy.

Not to mention licensing fees and having to allow other people from around the country to train at your facility on your own dime. What good is it to pay for the Gold's Gym name when they don't even pay for TV advertising.

Kelvin do you know how small 800square ft is?
Each bathroom is at least 50 square foot so that leaves 700, are u planning on having a reception area or changing rooms? Shower areas? Dream on

Square footage is for the training space, doesn't count the bathrooms. I don't intend on having showers..just a changing room and bathrooms. Because its a PT studio, people are going to go home after their workout so there would not be a need for one.

THIS THREAD JUST GETS FUNNIER AND FUNNIER! :D :D

Melvin is the perfect example of sour grapes. He can't afford a real gym so comes up with all those excuses why he doesn't want one. Seems to me he doesn't need a change room. People can come to his ultra modern facility dressed to exercise. No point providing unnecessary ammenities. Goodrum is parsimonious rather than being a cheapskate.

Vince, you're idea of the "real" gym is on it's way to being a thing of the past. have you read any of my posts on here? Why would someone open a $5-10mil facility with 50,000 sq ft and a $300k per month overhead and charge $19mo. when they can spend $400k or less, get results from their clients and make 2-3 times the profit?

To Coach. The gym business is a high investment, low return one. The hours are long and the expenses high. Yes, smaller clubs with a lot of equipment and personal service can work. The trouble there are the long hours. Gym owners burn out if they are in their gyms too long.
-

Why would they go home after training just cos it's a PT studio? They might want to go shopping, collect their children from school, go to church. So that still leaves 800sq foot for a reception area, two changing rooms (cos not everyone is bi, like you) and a decent gym set up, it's too small

Its a business, not some prestige status. I'm not the one that's sour but its you in fact because you're bitter that you realize that your ideas are out of date and no longer relevant.
As far as amenities are concerned, its PT studio, designed to get people in shape for a low price. There will be a small lounge area with a sofa and some books but that's about it. You can lounge around at your own house and take a shower there as well.

You do realize that your out of pocket will be far greater than 350.00, correct?

Kelvin I don't teach ballerina. You know why? Cos I know fuck all about it and would be useless at it. But you are planning on getting people in shape? Just think about that for a moment. And that 'gym' came up as 'invalid YouTube link'...cos you are an invalid
-
@ Basil. Actually you work less. One on one training is becoming also a thing of the past. Semi-private is in. If I have 3 trainers for example training 2-3 people at a time at 50 and each trainer is full for 6-8 hrs thats about 72 clients perday. At 100-150hr PER TRAINER. Thats alot i understand but 2-4000.00 per day not uncommon.

@ Basil. Actually you work less. One on one training is becoming also a thing of the past. Semi-private is in. If I have 3 trainers for example training 2-3 people at a time at 50 and each trainer is full for 6-8 hrs thats about 72 clients perday. At 100-150hr PER TRAINER. Thats alot i understand but 2-4000.00 per day not uncommon.
You live in A large city, vince lives in a shanty town, big difference. Hey I like vince and hope it does work out for him but hope he knows what he's getting into and researches it first, not opens ambusiness just CIA he got the rent cheap

BOOOOOOM!

I live in Sylva. There's practically no crime in this area. You can even leave your doors unlocked if you wanted to. Its a pretty sleepy area
The only crime is you walking around with your shirt off. hahahahahahaha

The problem is the big commercial gyms are losing money with these stupid $19mo memberships and lower and the equipment is catered to towards bodybuilding than actual fitness with all of the machines, it's been the same model for 30 years and these gyms haven't evolved with the times. 24hr, Ballys, LA Fitness, Golds are all getting killed by smaller gyms. I guaranty I can open a 1500-2000 sqft gym that actually gets results out of my clients and can turn twice the profit of anyone of those commercial gyms. use to be 24hr was opening a gym a month now it's two a year if that and it's not because of the economy.
I understand that and you have seen the pics of where i train at, right Coach? I pay $99 a year and the Gold's in this town is in Bankruptcy. I cannot see paying no more than a $100 a year when it comes to buying a Gym membership. I mean, if you are paying over $100, you are throwing your $$$$ away. I have trained at powerhouse's, Gold's, Lifestyles, Bally's, etc,... and it is mostly a meeting place and no real training goes on, sadly. If i have to live out the rest of my days in Georgia, then i would spend about 3k on a home gym. I always hated signing a contract, moving and them still taking $40 out of my account for three months. >:( Every gym does that and you have to show them proof that you moved 50 miles away from the gym. ::) ::) I have grown tired of cooperation gyms.

You do realize that your out of pocket will be far greater than 350.00, correct?
Of course, but considering our last office was over 4x that amount, this is peanuts.

This is what Vinces new training studio is going to look like:

In 400 sq ft (my garage) I have a squat rack w/pullup bar and dips, competition bench press, DB's to 120, flat bench, 90 degree adjustable bench, seated row, pulldown, sleds, tires, GH raise, med balls, trx, jump bands, chains, 3 olympic bars, (1 texas bar, 1 thick bar, 1 regular), blast straps, val slides, preacher bench (that I don't need), bumper plates, 10ft x 2" rope, 50ft x 2" manilla battling ropes, chalk, rice and a white dry erase board to write down our training. And a few more things.
-
If you want to get an idea what my studio is going to look like..here it is. With the exception of a squat cage and a rack of dumbbells, its going to be a pretty clear space

Are you going to have a towel dispenser so your clients can wipe up any sea monkeys off the equipement?

The gym business in Australia is different from that in the USA. I doubt you can find a club where you pay only $99/year or $19/mo. Importing machines makes the equipment such as treadmills very expensive. You will be fortunate if you find rental space for $10/sq ft/year.
Big Keith knew a lot about the gym business over there and he had a huge club in the pipeline. I honestly couldn't see how what he had planned would be successful. Especially with so many other big gyms nearby in Vegas. He was talking about 40,000 sq ft! Coach's idea of working out of his garage is great if he can do it. He will eventually have to find larger premises.
Goodrum isn't a gym owner. His idea of a PT studio might work if he ever opens one. Those of us who have had gyms for decades know the business has evolved heaps over the last 40 years. I bought my first gym in August 1971 so we have owned versions of it for 40 years. We have changed locations and concepts many times.
Big gyms with modern facilities and equipment are successful in Australia. Small, well-equipped gyms can also be profitable. What happens when you own a small gym is your business will eventually need more space. It isn't easy to know exactly how much space is optimum to make the most profit. What might be profitable this year might not be so in 5 or 10 years. There is a lot of competition today that wasn't around even 10 years or 5 years ago. The market has been cut up into smaller pies every year.
Take Goodrum's small studio. Is he going to install bikes, rowers, treadmills? That is what a lot of people want. Those are expensive machines and they take up space and have to be serviced and maintained.

How many times do I have to tell you that I don't wish to own any gym because I want to spend my time helping people rather than spend my time selling memberships. And since I sell exercise equipment, there's no issue with obtaining it for my facility however I will not be equipping it with treadmills or other clunky equipment because I simply don't need it to get people in shape. You can run your facility your way and I'll run mine as I see fit.
BTW,

So you intend on offering mainly aerobic type classes? Cross-fit style?

No, it will be a combination of resistance training and cardio conditioning...mostly based on my time in ROTC and the military but also with a number of other group training routines.

In the last pic you posted you weren't exactly looking in shape. If you want to play the part you need to look the part.

Melvin will do just about anything to make an easy dollar. When his super PT studio opens there will be heaps of people around Sylva lining up to get in. He will have to sell memberships if he wants to be successful. Maybe he can hire someone else to do that and just sit back and enjoy life?
Vince G CSN MFT PHD will not listen to good advices because he already knows what is best. That is why he lives in a trailer and doesn't even do the housework. No point opening a studio and have to do all that work. Ditto enterring contests and having to train hard to get in shape.
Goodrum will have reverted to his usual bulky, smooth self. He clearly has retired from competitive bodybuilding.

I'm still laughing at how I got to own your own domain name vincebasile.com. I've been nice enough to place it back on your crappy ass gym website but since you're pestering me again, I'm going to make you famous once again.... ;D
As far as my training studio is concerned, sorry if you're jelly but I will be able to bring in a profit right out of the gate

There are lots of guys with the same name as me out there. Not many are plumbers living in New Zealand!

Looks like severe gyno.

Look at how Goodrum operates. He doesn't like when people make him look like the fool he is so what does he do? He does what weak females do. Retaliates behind your back. Like he did to Derek Anthony. He visited Derek's site and sent the info to his parents. No wonder Derek spit in Melvin's face when they met. Goodrum is clearly a Sheila because he behaves like one.

hey vince give me ten minutes ill be right back im gonna go see how good of a swimmer you are,you got your floaties on? :o

Yea, Real Estate really has hit rock bottom. Its actually in a building that was built 3 years ago but the meltdown pretty much left it empty. I already have all the equipment in storage, I would just need to paint the inside and have the carpet steam cleaned at most.
So you're squatting
