See, ideas hatching already. I was thinking of having booster steps to allow James & Tom to reach the urinals ;) .

Oh, and the ''big enough to pick it up, big enough to put it back'' sign is already in my plans, thanks for that idea Oliver, you gave me that one a while ago & I nicked it!

The journal will start very soon so if ideas can be jotted down & put on there, I'll be taking notes every day. We are viewing a couple of potential buildings tomorrow so it may be starting sooner than you expect.

I'll start it with a potted history about me & 'little Paul' who is embarking on this with me. Paul Scarb knows him as Fizzy from another board many moons ago. He has a great face for radio, but he's a sound guy & a hard worker. Paul also has a very inspiring story to tell about his past & you'll see why I decided he'd be good to have on board.

Clydefrog · 02-05-2007, 06:23 PM

Best of luck, sounds an interesting read.

megatron · 02-05-2007, 07:48 PM

Looking forward to seeing your progress, all the best mate.

Nine Pack · 02-05-2007, 09:51 PM

Ok guys, thanks for all the good wishes. I'll put the first entry on this weekend & Paul said he'd probably make it a sticky for me.

Off to view two premises tomorrow so fingers crossed..................

**robdog** · 02-05-2007, 09:56 PM

This is excellent. I was have been thinking of opening a place of my own for sometime now so this journal will hopefull fill me in on just whats needed to pull it off.

Good luck mate.

Good luck mate.

That's what I was thinking. It's such a steep learning curve for me & Paul so we are bound to encounter things we had not thought of & with all the people on the board working in different professions, there's bound to be a lot of info flying around. I am as excited about the thread as I am the gym itself as the members on here are so helpful I think the 'community' element will come into it's own here.

Even if we screw some things up (and we will do), at least we can learn, and others can learn from our mistakes.

Bets of luck mate this wil be very interesting to read

BIG-UNC · 03-05-2007, 09:47 AM

Where abouts is your gym mate??

Nine Pack · 03-05-2007, 11:54 AM

That's a very good question.

I can't answer the question mind, but it's a good one. :p

Seriously though, I am looking at premises today & tomorrow. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack as the criteria is so specific when finding a premises for this type of thing;

1) The right location, close to a good residential area & commuter route.
2) The right size & type of building (we want a modern business unit as opposed to an old mill building)

3) Plenty of parking
4) Reasonable lease terms
5) Local competition
6) Then we need to get permission for change of use to leisure if it's industrial at present.

It's easily the toughest job of the entire project. Boring too at times!

I want to put the gym south Manchester or Stockport, ish. we'll have to consider other areas around Manchester though if a good opportunity arises.
If anyone knows of a good building at £30K per annum or less I'd be grateful to hear about it.
