Re: Ninepack's new Gym Journal
Didn't want to post anything till Paul did but i went with him and Paula (his wife) on saturday for a viewing and all I can say is the place is absolutely perfick!!!

Its light, airy, great atmosphere (always get in old mills) and its fookin huge. All except the last pic show the size of Paul's half, the one with people in shows the entire length of both halves. The first pic shows the size of the gym area plus there is a little behind me when I took the pic that will also be part of it.

I could visualise everything in it and the buzz of the place, when open, will be awesome.

Good find my friend.

Re: Ninepack's new Gym Journal
I had intended revealing the name but I want to get the logo trademarked first so please be patient with me, I'm not trying to be deliberately secretive. The logo is awesome & looks really professional. I have a friend who is a graphic designer who has done an absolutely brilliant (and free)job for us. :love:
I'll be seeing him on wednesday & making arrangements to trademark the logo so as soon as it has been done, I'll put it on here as big as I can!

At least you have some natural light there.
Looks massive in there.

What are you planing for the floor?
Would sanding those boards down and varnishing be a bad idea?

What were those slanted things for?

Would sanding those boards down and varnishing be a bad idea? They are fairly flat, but not enough to do that with so we're having an underlay put down, then different flooring for different areas. Some laminate flooring in the studios, reception & cardio areas, and rubber interlocking floor in the machines & free weight areas. The changing rooms are probably going to be a non slip waterproof resin type arrangement as opposed to the tiles I had originally planned.

What were those slanted things for? They are the heads of a conveyor belt system that has been dismantled. The owners are taking those down before we move in.[quote]

In reality, we’ll be selling more than they do as we have the knowledge on the products that is sometimes lacking in these places as no doubt you will have encountered on occasion. We will sell supplements, really nice workout clothing, accessories, as well as the protein bar which also will do coffee, tea & smoothies. I have to have a monstrous coffee machine as I am a self confessed caffeine fiend.
Protein bar is a cracking idea. When i belonged to a LA Fitness when i lived back in London they had a supplement stand. Thought it was a really clever idea. Unfortunately the chap running it wasnt really knowledgable and suprise suprise it was all maximuscle products....a maximuscle franchise really. I always thought that this had the potential to be a fantastic business engine but wasnt quite there. With your knowledge and links to CNP i think yourll do very well here. If your really clever then i think that you should open a cafe which caters for body builders. I always thought that if a bodybuilder ran a gym instead of a man with a management degree then instead of popular dishes like chilie concarne and lazagne served with white rice being served they would be replaced with a chicken based dish served with sweet potato or wholegrain brown rice.

Think Ollie B mentioned about the locker with the padlock probelm...i agree, cant stand this. At my current gym you just put a pound in and the key turns and can be released. Much better...gyms that force people to buy padlocks from them so that they can use the lockers really annoy me.

Re: Ninepack's new Gym Journal
just a little idea i had. since this is gonna be a gym where (obviously) there will be a mix of bodybuilders and people who just wanna keep fit etc etc, consider the use of steroids...

i dont take them so please correct me if im wrong but my impression is you take some of them after a workout, would this imply that you take them in the changing rooms or toilets?? if so then this would really put me off using the gym no matter how good it was. if you think this would be true then maybe section off a little room where that can be done which is a safe environment for both user and non-user. if its out of sight its out of mind.

just an idea

Re: Ninepack's new Gym Journal
People don't do it in public mate... most people do there jabs at home, some in the gym but it would never be done in front of you and it would never be done with the consent of staff.

NinePack would not officially condone this activity in his gym either as the health and safety would just not allow it.

Re: Ninepack's new Gym Journal
I agree

When I eventually open my own gym (long way off ATM) I wouldnt even have talk of gear condoned in the gym. Nothing worse than a juiced up tw*t talking loudly to his equally geared friend about all the gear they use.

Gives the gym a bad name and puts off the fitness end of the customers which TBH is the mainstay and bread and butter of most gyms.

We are not going to sell, talk about, or cater for any aspect of drug use, this is not a hardcore bodybuilders gym, and was never intended to be. It is a training facility with a real sense of purpose, but aimed at regular gym users. We certainly won't turn bodybuilders away, far from it, but the bulk of the membership base will be 'normal' people for want of a better term.

This facility is going to be a long term venture for us & I simply won't allow the association of drug use to destroy the reputation of the brand as we hope to franchise it once we have the formula right. I'm not so naive to think that nobody in the place will be using them, but they certainly wont be administering anything on the premises. If anyone is caught doing so it's an instant ban, non negotiable.
