Leeston, thanks for the offer, but I really can't hold my beer & I have to be in Brum to watch Rightyho & Wade kick some butts. Maybe I'll go to watch the qualifier after that too

Winger,
Thanks, I absolutely will NOT give up. This is non negotiable.

I have just got back from a meeting with Hammer Strength & they have given me the 3D animated simulation of the club (showing exactly the machines we're having) & some 3D stills to hang on the walls for induction tours. The place we end up in is likely to be a large rectangle anyway so this is still relevant & a fantastic tool for us to show the members. I am told it's easy to have this 3D dropped onto the website so you'll be able to see it soon. It's absolutely awesome & has made me feel so much better, even considering recent events. It's great to see it as it will be in real life.

I understand Paul, I too cannot hold my beer anymore. Years ago I could but not now.

Anyway, if you wish to still go, I will be the one dressed as a woman!

Typical hey, you get a chance to come to brum and I am in the north west! Anyway, as I said before, feel free to drop in and pay me a visit as I should be back by sunday afternoon. I promise to be wearing male clothes again by then.

speak later mate.

Where's your stag do, Lee?

leeston · 27-09-2007, 06:22 PM

12 lads going to chester races on saturday followed by a night out on the town.

I have heard through the grapevine that they have a few things lined up for me!

paul, sorry for going off topic

This does not quite leave us at square one, but it's a major kick in the cods. TBH I'm not in the best frame of mind right now so I'm not making any decisions till I've slept on it a few nights. I'll report back soon.

This journal does show in real time, how up & down (and slow) business can be, even before you open.

I was there today at the bike shop getting a new bike for my youngest, was looking around the place for signs of the gym.
What was it in he lease?

Not really something I can discuss on an open forum bud, except to say it was something on which our solicitors could not reach a resolution.

Nightmare, hope you get a new place sorted out and keep the momentum.
Location is the hardest part IMHO but best you get it right as it could be make or break.

Don't know if you have your eye on some new locations anyway but...
There's a ex-car showroom with to let on it on the way to Manchester near Stoodleys auctions. It's right on the main road on Hyde Road and it's either at the junction of Alan Turing Way / Pottery Lane.
Might be worth a look.

Nine Pack · 01-10-2007, 03:04 PM

Thanks John, I saw that one a while ago. It's only half the building in reality, the brick structure adjoining the showroom is still in use. We need soooo much more space than that though TBH. We are now looking into buying an existing gym then selling off the old equipment & doing a remodel, re equip & re launch. This may even see us in business earlier than planned.

I'll update as things progress.

Nine Pack, I think you should go into detective work, cause you don't mis a thing.

Indeed. There is simply no beginning to my talents...

Fantastic journal ninepack, hope it all gets sorted soon for you mate. Just a thought - what about looking for redevelopment opportunities? Maybe you could get council grants to revamp a run down old mill somewhere? Would help cut back on costs maybe. I dont know if they are available for commercial buildings but they do for housing if its 100 years old. Maybe you would have to own the building for this to apply but, like I said, just a thought.

Thanks for the suggestion, however I suspect we could get help from the local authority only if it was a listed building, or of special historical interest.

We have a few irons in the fire & are going to view a few sites tomorrow. I have made enquiries about 5 other gyms going for sale as well, so plenty of things going on behind the scenes.
