What did I do??

[P-funk]

Well, Keats and I signed a lease. Our first facility! We are going to be busting our butts all weekend to get the place ready for next week, so that we can start working at the first ever Reality Based Fitness Facility. The power company can't get out there until Monday to turn on electricity, so we are going to be sweating like crazy and we will have the big cargo door open (it is part warehouse, part office pace) to try and get some air in there - but I don't think the 118 degree heat is going to be very kind to us.

I'll probably post some pictures and videos of the whole process in my blog.

Finally, no more renting space at little training studios, physical therapy clinics and massage studios. No more driving around town. I can have everything at in one place.

Excited....very nervous....but very excited!

Good luck P-Funk. I remember a while back in a thread you were worried about over-seeing a project. You obviously fared well through that. Stay positive. You'll do great.

Wow man, from a young guy like myself who dreams of owning their own business I think this is F-ing awesome! Good luck man, I hope everything works out, I look forward to seeing the pictures of the progress and the eventual final product.

Looks good man, the only bad part from the place is that the restroom is fairly small and for one person only. I look forward to seeing how it turns out with everything set up.

 

[tucker01]

Coolio.

I was half through the video, and was like what the fuck, no medecine ball wall, then bam the brick walls lol.

Looks good, how busy is it out back, can you paint the asphalt?

 

[P-funk]

Desert Fox - Thanks. The bathroom isn't a huge deal because it is a private facility. Not a public gym.

Iain - The back alley isn't busy. But, we aren't allowed to paint the black top.

Having your own facility is definitely the way to go, good for you. I worked in other peoples studios for years and always wanted to open my own shop but just couldn't pull the trigger. Again congratulations, you'll do great I'm sure! Let me know if I can be of any help if and when you decide to sell products. My eVo line of transdermals would be great for your place, PM me if you're interested and I'll send samples.
