The owner is an old curmudgeon women.
All the more reason to hit it. She will feel 20 again.
We have 6 large property owners that we train and all have been clients for more than 10 years. They can't even understand why this owner is doing this. It's not the problem of losing the lease. The problem is the market is hot and (not meaning this to be a CrossFit thread) but because of them it makes hard for normal gym or strength and conditioning facility to lease because they have the reputation to destroy the properties. Not all of course but enough to for owners to say no to other gyms.
that has to be tough. I see local crossfit gyms popping up... aside from their stabbing holes in walls, they also put owner at risk of lawsuit if they're the type of people that train reckless and injure people... people who, in turn, just sue everyone. People that own a building probably MUCH prefer to rent to a restaurant or paper company or service company, that people who are going to toss around metal and tires all day. *I had a local warehouse become a crossfit gym recently, and they're reckless, picking up jeeps and shoving over trailer hitches, it's just a matter of time until someone is crushed* All while taking selfies and hashtagging, of course. I like crossfit for a lot of things, but this particular group is reckless.
Tough spot. Maybe talk to other gym renters, see what their solution is.
