Hey guys...
Most of you have probably caught on now that Markos and I have been working together to set a gym up. The gym is located 30kms north of the brisbane CBD, at the end of Beattie st, in the suburb of Kallangur.
We have a 220m2 concrete shed, with a 75mx20m concrete driveway (great for tyre flipping!).
The gym will be run on the same principals as PTC Frankston. Anybody who wants to get bigger, stonger, faster, leaner, awesomer is welcome. Anybody who wants to curl and not squat is not
.
You dont have to be strong, you dont have to lean, you dont have to fit. All you need is the right attitude, and the thirst to become better. I want to create a gym with atmosphere. I want to create a gym where people WANT to train. I want to create a gym where you can come, sweat, bleed and scream......... I want to create a gym where like minded lifters can lift, and can enjoy themselves doing it.
The set up currently consists of....
1 Pendaly weightlifting bar
155kg of bumper/technique plates
2 custom knurled ABC bars
1 ABC power bar
2 benches
1 Pair of oly squat stands
2 cages
64kg KB and blocks for UDLs
750kg plates
Platform
Deadlift matting
Boxes for jumps
40kg keg
3 tractor tyres
Full set of Power Bands
Chains
Boards
The gym is now set up, and ready for people to get lifting in.
It will be open from 5pm-late Monday to Friday and 8am-1pm on Saturday.
There is no membership as such. I want people to WANT to be there, so you just have a weekly fee, or in the case of novices who want to learn the ropes, need programming, and form work you can come in for sessions.
$15 a session
$25 p/w
$25 a session for coaching of novices.
There are already 4 competitive lifters training, and 2 beginners. A female client catches a bus 3x a week from the other side of the city to come and lift, now thats KEEN!
A local strongman is also coming to check the place out this weekend.
I have to thank a few people though.
Firstly, and most obviously Markos for helping me out, and giving me a shot to get this gym off the ground.
Id also like to thank 3 very important people who have been gems in helping me out with equipment.
Rick from Ironedge/kettlebells.com.au for the bumper plates and bar, and soon full KB set.
Wayne at ABC (Australian barbell company). He helped me out MASSIVELY with 3 quality bars.
Craig at jmeaustralia.com.au for the rubber coated weight plates, cage, and platform.
Without the help and support of these 4 blokes, Id still be no closer to opening my dream gym.
MASSIVE THANKS GUYS!
piccies!
