An Update

I hope everyone's training and life in general is good, and remember don't join any big 'globo' gyms, wait for us to open and train in your garage or something in the meantime!

Joking aside (do wait for us though...), we just wanted to keep everyone informed of current developments. So far, things are going without any hitches. We have formalised a few things such as website domain names, opening a business account, having already formed a limited company, and other bits and pieces that are needed to be done have been done already or are in the process of. As far as the gym itself goes, solicitors are battling it out (fortunately not physically) to get the contracts drawn up so we can all sign for it. Since the last update there were a couple of other things that we wanted to clarify and change, and they have been agreed upon, so we are still looking at getting access around February time. Up until then it is a matter of getting the suppliers lined up for optimal equipment delivery time, and when we do get the keys, it will be sleeping bags on the gym floor and decorating and fitting all day, providing some good midnight painting delirium videos to post here I suspect. Leaflets will be printed and disseminated this month to spread the good word, and the official website is in the works and should be primed ready for going live sometime shortly. I do plan to make more clear what form the gym will take, but it will be focused on group-based circuit style sessions. That is all for now.

In the meantime I am going to China for a month and will be looking to post some things that may be of interest to everyone while over there.

Below is a video I filmed in 2007 while over there showcasing what can be considered a standard scene across many parks in China between 5:00am - 8:00am. Certainly a different scene to the UK. Exercise has a massive social function in China, and you can clearly see the vibrancy and diversity of the activities performed by everyday people, not just athletes. This is how exercise should be, natural, enjoyable, and an enhancement to one's life.



Remember, no 'globo' gym memberships!
