It’s official: we’re expanding. We signed the lease last Friday and ordered the bulk of the new equipment last night. A few more equipment purchases and a heck of a lot of work over the next two months and we’re good to go.
We’re expanding for many reasons. One, my personal training journey has expanded. I no longer just do kettlebells. I train them in a larger context of barbells, rings, etc. These days I do strength training first and then kettlebells, etc. Before, I combined strength with endurance through kettlebell training because that combo is what they are good at. But after I could press double 32kg I felt it was time to switch to barbells. And now the sky is the limit.
This is also me going deeper back to the roots. Olympic lifting is next on my list to learn and that is the root of kettlebell training. Snatch and clean and jerk aren’t the two main lifts of kettlebells by accident! The training comes from Olympic lifting.
Second, my ideas about the business have expanded. The number one request I get from folks is to have an open gym where people can come in and train on their own. Well, we’re about to open that. The plan is to be open from 7am to 9pm at night M-F with reduced hours on the weekend. We will charge a monthly fee to use the gym and that will make this style of training more open to the public. The idea is to spread a style of training that really gets you FIT.
Personally I can’t wait. The facilities to do this type of training don’t exist anywhere in Taiwan and I’m so proud and honored to be bringing them here. The folks in Taiwan deserve to have an choice and the mainstream fitness industry here isn’t going to do that. We’re pleased to bring you an option you can’t get anywhere else!
Anyway, back to the work and I’ll keep you posted. Lots to do.
