RIP MPF Training Facility

[Powerlift66]

All the best to you Coach...

[Brian Poulos]

Don't let them get you down Coach. When God closes one door he opens another. Hope you still plan on competing brother. Godspeed.

Ok, I watched the video. It seems as though you already negotiated a two week extension on your lease with the property owner. With it being a sports facility, which would be a specialized tenant and would maybe take some time to get a new lessee, why not try and keep renting the space you occupy now on a month to month basis until you find a new facility similar to what you had? I’m not so sure some professional athletes would want to come to a gym to train if there’s not enough space to do what you were doing at the current facility. Just food for thought. If you go month to month with the landlord, they may bite on that because some money now is better than nothing.

yeah I'm sure Coach enjoys knowing a former troll who now obsesses over men's swollen GH bellies and the diameter of their genitals instead of tequila while posting under a bodybuilder's name has his back

That truly sucks Joe...........good luck and keep your head up buddy.

Bad shit happens to good people. Judging from your video and what you've posted here, it seems that you are turning a negative situation into a positive one. Good going! And yeah, it's time for you and your wife to take that vacation and visit Guam.

I'm sure you've done a conga line or 10 at the no-photos-allowed resort on the island, amirite

Yes. I would be willing to bet my Tom Prince soiled posing trunks that “Prime” has had more than a few south of the border butt-fucks.

naturally, his wife would be the last to know, what with him telling her they were business trips to expand his company's business to the Latin American market that required company-paid (kids' college fund) extended stays to make sure all the details were right
of course, by company's business I meant rectal opening and by Latin American market I mean about one Latin American marketplace's equivalent of men extending their brown dick meat into it.

Nice video. You are very well spoken. Maybe it was for the best. I am in a position now where I make very good money and have a lot of investments but lack time. If only we could buy more time. I hope you enjoy yourself and have more success down the road.

Wouldn't want to see you lose your cherished, soiled Tom Prince posing trunks.

Coach I consider your posts douchey on here but you sure as hell didn't deserve that.

I hope things turn out for the best.

My Dear Fabulously Muscled Coach, is this from the same owner that offered you a "third" partnership?

Our facilities we lease are within a 120,000sqft sports complex. We least approximately 15,000sqft including our offices, our medical offices and turf fields. Last week we were approached by the owner to become a third partner in the complex. The complex offers 4 turf fields, 11 full basketball courts and 14 volleyball courts a fitness facility and then our strength and conditioning facility.

The partnership will include the exclusive training rights to a club basketball company with over 200 members + out of state and country members ranging from 12 to NBA,  club Volleyball with over 100 members from youth to pro court and pro beach and exclusive rights to all members from fitness to athletes along with taking over total management for the fitness facility. The complex itself ranges from 2000 to 8000 per week depending on tournament play. Anyone and I mean anyone who comes through the doors for personal training or athlete development belongs to us (MPF). Over the course of the year the complex gets in over 500k people.

Bottom line, within 6 years we went from training in a fitness facility to opening two smaller facilities to this. We (MPF) have the opportunity to become one of the biggest private athlete development facilities in the
country. Poverty in America my ass. Think big.

Two concerns, Coach, assuming you haven't yet accepted the offer:

First, Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes – with respect to an owner seeking a third partner, and all that.

Second, Tabula in naufragio – with respect to the above.

Good luck! 

Thanks. But you could have just told me in English instead of me having to look it up.

I know. But I thought you might like the exercise.

In any case, best wishes!

If it's the same guy, good thing you didn't fall for the "gift." You were meant to be the tabula in naufragio, and would have drowned in the process.

Best going forward, Coach.

Can you explain the Tabula in naufragio comment please? Not heard of this one before and interested to learn for the future.

Hi, Rascal,

It's a figure of speech, "the plank or wood in a shipwreck." It's a desperate move by someone to find an object by which to stay afloat and not drown. In this case, I imagine that the owner who approached Coach was looking for a way to keep his business afloat, and so offered him a third partnership. However, had Coach accepted the offer, he would have also taken on the owner's and other partner's business indebtedness and liabilities, thereby putting himself in the position to go down with the the now-failed complex. Hopefully, due diligence would have revealed the liabilities in advance, but who knows?

In any case, it's always prudent to 'beware the Greeks bearing gifts' (Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes).

Dead on.

I can't remember the timeline, but it wasn't too long after that the electricity in the complex was turned off the first time and they were asking for lease payments way ahead of the due date to come up with $16k for past due payments + deposit.  Red flag...obviosly.

Thanks for taking the time to explain it, much appreciated.

Seems to me there might be a connection between business worries and Coach's recent health problems.

Lesson learned here is to make sure you have a solid lease with the owners of the property you are renting.

We had a gym for 46 years but discovered too late that what we could and should have done long ago

was purchase a suitable premise paying interest only. After 20 or more years the property should be worth

more and that is what you end up with if you retire. We didn't know that property could be bought that way.

Trust in God, but tie your camel!

I had no business worries, still don’t. What are you talking about and how does my health play a part aside from being blindsided?

[Agnostic007]

That sucks. Hasn't happened to me but I can imagine the frustration of having to pay the costs for some unscrupulous business people when you've done everything you are supposed to do.

No business worries?! Quote of the year.
