The anti planet fitness???

[SoCalSwole]

Really?!?! the goal of a business owner is to stay in business and make money?? And we should also remember to suck air in and out of our lungs, put one foot in front of the other. Don't kick bee hives. Oh bushes are also bushy, long pants are long... We could be here all day.

Thanks for the stock holders report. Again I am planning a non for profit privately owned. So we don't have to be slaves to stock holders. So we don't need to rape everyone that comes in the door. Or sign people up just to get their membership dues knowing they won't ever come and put wear and tear on the building or equipment. As you can see by the responses this is a lifestyle gym.

I know I'd never see a place like this in my rural area but sounds like a sweet idea SoCal! If one ever made it to my surrounding area, I'd definitely go to it. Some gyms need that IN YOUR FACE motivation with some people

Agreed for me its a more positive environment to train hard. I don't really need alot of outside motivation. But when I see others working hard it gets me going and makes me work even harder. The only one i would let scream at me to work is CT Fletcher. Everyone else I would not tolerate it. I got enough of that when I was in the Marines.

I can only imagine the in for face stuff you heard in the military. My gf use to get in my face at times when I had her in the gym after she finished chemo. But I agree it's amazing the motivation you get when you see someone beside you giving it their all

Here is the bottom line most everyone on here would love to have a haven like you describe. Membership cost? Will it be in the reach of the average joe or sally. PF business model works because it is so cheap people keep membership for years and don't ever step foot in the place. Cost of membership. You may be able to connect with some companies who pay part of membership for employees I heard there is a health ins that pay 75% of gym fees. Just thoughts but the concept is very cool. I would pay $100.00 for family. I pay $60 now

Brisket would be hard to fit into anyones macros. Pretty high in fat. But I'll keep it in mind maybe we do a cheat day menu with good old Texas Brisket on there. Good idea.

Dallas would be a good market for it. Maybe up North like the Plano area.

Planet Fitness has a business model catering to a type of market that makes them profitable.
The goal of a business owner is to make enough money to pay yourself and stay in business.
Hard core lifting may be a great thing, but its probably tough as hell to make a profit and stay in business if you target only hard core lifters as your customer base.

if it's cheap, and brings what serious lifters are looking for it should make money, I have seen people travel over 1 hour just to get to a gym they like, so I think it could be done.

I would pay $60/ month for the gym part. Would the meal plan be separat? Would you offer different plans. Most importantly would you give free memberships to strippers?

The gym dues would be separate from the meal plans. You pay for what you need. As far as strippers go, if the business model works we won't need to give free memberships to strippers. Because all the good looking fitness chicks will already be there. Same with for the ladies. All the serious guys will be there as well. Attract good looking women, and that attracts the guys who have their shit together.

I would join.

Negged for lying and being out of shape.

I would run circles around you and that's after spending all night fucking your old lady and your mom. Negged for making yourself look like a complete fucking douche bag. Congratulations! You succeeded.

Put a large glass cube in the center of the gym suspended from the ceiling, that will be the Womens Yoga Center and the floor will have a weight limit per person of 130 pounds...it'll be like having Go Go dancers in cages, but under the guise of hot chicks in Yoga pants doing downward facing dog...

Wow you really thought that one through. lol

I am not sure we would get the ones that you would actually enjoy looking at. You know how hot chicks are they don't exactly serve it up to you on a silver platter.....Well at least not in a group setting.

I like this whole idea. I envision multi levels...like a prison cell block set up. When you walk in, Those on the higher tiers are the most jacked and tanned. Lower tiers are fatties, the un-tan, natties, jews. Those on the lower levels are subject to things being thrown at them and being spat on. As you become more jacked, you advance one tier, until you reach the pinnacle on jerkedness. But when you get there, you realize everyone is abusing synthol. You become mindfucked and then realize youre in the matrix of not bigs.

The issue with your biz model is serious lifters don't have any money.

They live in thier moms basement, pin, eat & flex in the mirror. No $$$$$$$$$$$....... just look at Heavy Iron.

heavy iron has no mother, he spontaneously spawned in an underground lab so they had a test subject....

I heard he tore off his balls for not creating enough test.

No, the Bro's I want got their shit figured out. You ever go network at an NPC show? You would be presently surprised how many mature business professionals are in the lifestyle. Lawyers, Doctors, business owners there all there you just got to get out of the basement and look around. Look at Lifetime fitness and all the people with money there. I won't even be charging anywhere near what they do.
