Sean's Powerlifting Journey

Of course their doing what they love. Of course they will help others better. But if your losing money you wouldn't keep a business open. If you teach say a xfit class with 5 ppl and they're satisfied, awesome. But when they balance the books and see they're 300 in the red.

They go " how do I get more ppl in?"

Not " how do I make my customers more satisfied"

All I'm getting at man is the guys who own those places, they worry about money just like everyone else. If they don't get enuff, they close. That simple

I tend to agree with this.


I've already talked to my wife about it, when we open the gym I only want it to make enough to stay open. As long is it isn't a money suck, idgaf. I can get another job to pay for food, etc. and still have my own gym to train myself and others out of.

Anything else is just icing on the cake.

So you would be fine losing money every month? And what counts as a money suck? And guys who run these gyms, the gym is usually one of their main sources of income.
 
Whatever my gym owner is doing: works. There's old people he sets up programs for, there's a crossfit barn, there's serious powerlifters, and then there's the highschool football players doing their power cleans. I don't have one issue with the place, and it's as mixed of a crowd as any.
 
My old trainer opened up his own place. This dude loves fitness. But he is scared of losing his place Bc he can't pay the bills. Of course money is a priority to him and other business owners.

I think you'd have trouble finding businesses that lose money and make none, but stay open Bc they can.

Did you skip reading class in school?


I said I want it to make enough to stay open.


I plan to live in the gym (built in apt), completely owning the building not leasing, so it only need make enough to cover insurance, electricity, etc.

A money suck, by definition, is something that you have to put money into every month. This is what I said I don't want.

I don't think it's a good idea as a business owner to just want to make enough to get by. And if that is your goal, you are one of the few. Bc truth is ppl need businesses to make money so they can support themselves, etc.

But do your thing man. It's your money and life. That's cool you wanna open your own gym. Ill take just my own workout space in a garage. Can't imagine my own gym. That's pretty sweet

I have a feeling I'm gonna program jump if DG's is awesome when it comes out

Lol. I'm interested to see what it is. We know he squats and front squats, he benches paused, touch and go and wide grip, and he does the deadlift party. I would guess that's the meat and potatoes of the program, but I'm interested in the details.

Well, ideally, I'd love for it to do well enough that I don't need a second job to support myself and my wife.

But, all I NEED is to have it make enough to stay open.

Meaning dickless son of a not so sought after female.

Which is weird, because he was probably to old even then to pick up on modern day slang

I always picture him as a highlander, like he has had many lives, but will have many more after us. Or like Tom Hanks in green mile

Yeah I'm looking forward to that dan green book. I have a feeling though that program will be too rough for me but ill wait and see.

Try it from a bigass deficit. Hard as **** to get down.

Have that link? First it was Cube Boss. Then Cube 3. Now Cube Kingpin? I don't care what it's name, but the more names makes me think there's other changes to it other than the name lol
 
Invalid Link Removed

Name change because of the confusion...........so now there will be more confusion. Such a conundrum. :sad:
