updates

It's been awhile since I posted anything about our progress at the gym. Things are still coming along. This has been a grueling process, physically, mentally, and financially. The amount of time that it takes to physically work on the gym is unbelievable and without all of the help from our students and friends, we would be so far behind. The time that I spend working on behind the scenes "stuff" is even more unbelievable (i.e. insurance, flyers, contracts, waivers, meta tags, space planning, budget crunching, ordering things for the gym, writing blogs posts, interviewing and hiring instructors, pricing anything and everything to get the best deal, making sure our map marker is in the right spot so the GPS leads to the correct place, etc). I feel like three hours pass and I have nothing tangible to show the fruits of my labor, except an extremely messy house and a wilted garden.

Here's the floor in the main room:




The boys had to re-enforce the cage with bars and wood on the wall...I was NOT happy about this!  Now that the wood is painted (see pictures on next post), it looks really nice, and they double as really tall pull-up bars. 

 It was two days before we had to start training at the new gym and our new mats weren't here yet.  So we had a last minute demolition to open up the basement and move our old mats in the space in order to train!

I can't wait for our grand opening next month!
