Why? Who cares? If you're focused on your own workout, it shouldn't matter. I train in a gym like that and I get in the SAME exact workout as I did training in more hardcore gym. Ive trained in dumps and high class places where people are socializing. My workouts were no different. Weights were the same. The pump was the same. It has absolutely no affect on my workout whatsoever.

I hear you, but not everyone is capable to focus on his workout in any environment.

IF a gym has all the right equipment, and a minimum number of modern day fukk-tards, then its a good gym...

you have a good point there al, i seriously doubt dorian has the funds to open a gym, the cost of opening one is monstrous these days.

LOL I'm sure you were on pins and needles wondering about this like I was, so I've got some potentially interesting news!

Yates licenses out the Temple Gym name for a $25,000 flat fee and a $500 administrative fee. It's right on the Temple Gym website, which is pretty unusual. I've never heard of any company making their licensing fees so public. It's actually easier finding licensing fee information than it is finding any info on the gym.
(I could not find any info on the actual number of Yates affiliated Temple Gyms.)

So, it's possible that DY Gym is a new licensing venture. Does he live in Spain now? I guess that would make it more likely that he's helping to operate it, but he almost certainly has business partners who are looking towards expansion.

Yates is loaded and its his own gym.

Have to say, the gym looks really nice. Even I would look good in the mirror under those lights

Love the blu/grey colors too

But does it have a pullover machine?

Funny enough, if you click on the link, it's on the first page.

How about the frame on his HIT training certification?

Yes, I would have chosen a black frame, with a blue background for the medals. Wood/green combo is criminal for such a coveted item.

His supplement line is still in existence, but it isn't carried in stores and it's sold on separate websites for US and British territories and he spends the majority of his time in Spain. That strongly suggests it's mostly a licensing business.

There's nothing wrong with licensing. It can be very lucrative and it's smart to leverage risk and partner with someone when starting a business that requires a lot of upfront capital. I'm just sort of a business-minded guy and I'm always curious about the specifics when "names" start business ventures. Especially fitness industry names, and especially if it looks like it was executed well. In most cases, fitness or otherwise, the name doesn't have a lot to do with the execution. Like that Mike O'hearn frog machine- he was a name brought on to promote after it was developed.

Gym looks like it would be packed with 30 to 40 people training at the same time. Is this one of those gyms that charge over $100 a month?
