I taunt Onlyme all the time cause he comes up with some real gems when it comes to insulting , but all BS aside, the guy would be awesome to hang out with, chill and kick back over a drink - I'm sure there would be some great stories and good laughs

Yes, it would be fun..He could tells us stories until the tweekers in Hawaii come home..

To bad he can't go out these days, due to his illness and lack of mobility

But, until you do something or take chances like I do instead of just flapping your lips, you have NO idea what it takes or what to do. So I'm ready for the kids to start ragging. Don't let me down, I'm counting on you.

Hang in there, my brother. Things will get better and it's not because of who is or isn't in office. This is America and it's guys like you that go out and try to do something that helps makes this country great.

God speed. I hope to one day make it out to Vegas and shake your hand again after so many years since the days you bounced a Tequila Willies.

No it is not opening yet. The economy has set it back. My investors have put everything on hold until something happens here. I know some of you are loving to here this but this is something that I have no control over. They are in charge with how things are happening. Very bad timing for this right now. It was a great idea when I started it. Believe me it will happen and I hope sometime this year but unless Vegas gets its shit back together then who knows. I am doing other things now to keep me busy.

They have had their own project on hold for almost 15 months and just now are getting that open. So until that is up and going they are on a hold. The people who I have been working with know the story. It will be the kids on here who have no idea about anything who will rag on me. But, until you do something or take chances like I do instead of just flapping your lips, you have NO idea what it takes or what to do. So I'm ready for the kids to start ragging.

Bro the economy is a fucking mess and will be for some time...No one can make fun of you over this one with a straight face

Why is it your business what I do. What do you do and where do you live? What is your home phone number and drivers license number? If you have a credit card give me that too. You can PM me if you want. Lets just say I survive well and that's all that counts. Be sure to answer my questions

so you re on welfare and bullshit strangers on the internet about things that never happened, happen or will happen?

Fucken MELTDOWN!!!

I am keeping my $100.00 invested in it, why should the others not stay in?

Keith, you have always said you have money . . . do it yourself. Turn my C-note into major cash.

Best of luck, Keith.

What's wrong kid hit a nerve. Understand that you are someone trying to fit in a place you don't belong. I understand how it must suck for you but I can't help you. Shouldn't you be in bed so you can wake up and go to school. What will mommy say when she finds you playing on her computer. Now go to bed and we'll talk tomorrow.

I highly doubt they are allowed in any gym now so I will probably just follow what others are doing.

Actually, I'm helping a friend of mine launch his gym this year. It's pretty hardcore, mostly freeweights, 3 Izner Powerlifting racks, boxing ring and bags. No saunas, no steamrooms, no fucking juicebars or shit like that.

And Keith, that gym will never see the light of day. A gym that size cannot possibly obtain enough members for it to last

So you are saying 48,000 sq,. ft won't do well.

No sauna or steamroom? Now how will you and Vissy get kicked out for life like all the other places Vince?

You'll have to compete with the 5 other Gold's Gyms in Las Vegas so I honestly don't think you can round up enough business. This is not counting the independent gyms as well.

You are right, the economy is too horrible at this time but I would have picked an area that did not have that much competition

Its a place for real lifters. While it will have some pretty Spartan equipment, it will be clean and properly maintained and it won't be like the Metroflex.

Noting personal against Dobson, while I think that they have a great gym...I don't think the sight of someone chopping up hog meat on the counter while you work out or a clump of hair nailed to the wall from some dancer that got his ass kicked is cool to have around.

It will be hardcore but will also be a professional training facility. No fucking Ace of Base or Sheena Easton playing through the speakers. Nothing but heavy metal.

The Golds here suck in membership and rank third in my competition list. The ones I have to worry about are Las vegas Athletic Club and 24 Hour. There is a reason why there are so many gyms here it is because there is a need for them. LVAC just opened a new 85,000 sq ft gym and it easily has over 8,000 members already. The Eastern location gets 6,000 people a day through their doors. This is one city where gyms are needed. In fact Las Vegas gyms have grown more than any other city in the country. So there is plenty of room for gyms here. And with the people I have associated with my gym who themselves believe the market is perfect here kind of supports my business plan. Now I just need the economy to get better and it will. And my investor isn't that concerned about the economy more than he is concerned about opening his business first which is 15 months late opening because the city took that long to get him his COA. Once he has that up and running I'll be fine. And the building I am looking at is still available no problem.

So you walk up to people and tell them you are opening a gym?

No not yet. Why? Considering I have over 25 years in the gym business and national and world title and trained with many many many many many more people than you have, why would you ask. Are you trying to be funny or just trying to make yourself look better. See son what I currently look like (which is getting better everyday) has nothing to do with what I know, my contacts, my experience and my actual hands-on experience. See all you are doing is making yourself look bad. So quit now and you may be able to save face.

Tapeworm · « **Reply #44 on:** January 21, 2009, 12:33:19 AM »

Kieth, how much is the economy impacting on gym memberships? Are other gyms seeing a drop off? Are you able to offer people an attractive/cheap deal that could steal them away from existing gyms, even if it's only for 3 or 6 months? If so, this would be an ideal time to open. Or is it a high end place that costs more than the others?

What I am going to offer and make available at the price point I have I want to be right next to the two biggest clubs. It will be priced just right. This whole process is testing my patience big time but i am staying busy and going t the gym now so it is okay.

Tapeworm · « **Reply #46 on:** January 21, 2009, 12:44:22 AM »

If it's open in July and I can get a day's layover in Vegas I'll stop in for a workout if you'll be around. I remember the plans you posted awhile ago. It sounded awesome.

Hope Obama has some tricks up his sleeve and you don't have to stay in this holding pattern too much longer bro.

I was planning on paying the guy. I mean, hopefully he'll just charge me a day rate and not make me join for 36 months.

calfzilla · « **Reply #49 on:** January 21, 2009, 12:54:25 AM »

No I prefer he not charge me, at least not in public because I want to look cool in front of my friends and any hot bitches with us. Having the hookup with a Vegas gym owner could be very beneficial.
