hmm, damn hard question to answer.

i guess i look at it like this. if i had never had the gym, i would still be working as a manager at boston pizza and getting no where in life. The gym has enabled me to open a fitness store, and a pita restaurant and get into the slum lord market. so for that fact i am greatful to the gym.

but its truley a hard market. only reason i havent jumped ship yet, is i honestly enjoy it at times. i like seeing people get results, where i can sit back and sya i helped them get where they are. and really its very hard to sell your first baby. at least its been that way for me.
i just cant see myself without this place. but it has gotten to the point where unless i own the building its in(which i am currently trying to do) i will move it and sell it. as its getting to the point where i might have to draw from pocket to keep it open and i just wont do that. as i have had this place 7 years.
i blame this town for that though, as its small, and people ONLY train in the fall and winter. Plus jobs are being lost here all the time which greatly affects my business too. its turning into a retirement city and that doesnt bold well for a gym as no offense elderly people are ****ing lazy when it comes to going to a gym. no matter what i try to do to entice them in here, its just not happening.

but in a bigger center with more people to draw from and better market conditions a gym could easily survive. you just have to ask your self alladin, do i keep going with my dead end job, or do i take a risk in my life and shit or get off the pot. if you are young and can handle loosing your shir, but still young enough to recover down the road, i think its a easier decision.
if u have kids, family or cant afford a loss, well then i say dont do it.

If I was a crazy sorta guy, believing in hokum and all that, I'd say that I was "meant" to hear that today.

As it is, I'm not that guy. BUT...

...thank-you very much anyways. Really great advice and I needed to hear it put just like that.

I think if it works out, I'm in.

The Book Of Genesis, According To Romano

In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth, and darkness was all around. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light, and God saw that it was good.

On the second day, God said, “Let the earth bring forth the grass, the flowers and the trees,” and he gathered them all together and called this the Garden of Eden. And then God made the beasts of the earth, and cattle, and everything that swarm in the sea and this was for the meat. And God called the meat protein, and although it needed a little salt when he cooked it, he tasted it and thought it was good.

On the third say, God created man in his own image; he created male and female. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the owl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” But God left out the muscles and instead God created the gym and sent forth an to train and build is body himself in order to earn such dominion, and he thought that this was good.

On the fourth day, God looked down and saw that man wasn’t packing on any mass. This was not good. So a great light descended upon the earth and God appeared and spoke to man. “I have given you the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air, and every living thing that moveth upon the earth so that you would have enough protein I given you the gym and taught you to train, and crated bodybuilding contests and fitness babes to motivate you. Why art thou still so small?’

Then, a great ball of fire erupted from the earth and the devil appeared and spoke to God. “Man is so small because he does not know me!” The devil then created steroids and androgens and growth hormone and syringes and bestowed hen upon man and said, “Use these, all of you, and you will grow big and ripped.” God struck down the devil with a mighty bolt of lightning and created the forbidden tree upon which he hung the devil’s drugs and summoned a great serpent to guard the tree from man.

On the fifth day, God created androstenedione, 4-androstenedione, 19-andostenedione, androstenediol and its 4, 5, 17, and 19 varieties, tribulus terrestris, growth hormone stimulators, hormone-releasing peptides, plantsterols, methoxy isoflavones, testosterone “boosters,” dozens of magical herbs and other precursors tp the devil’s brew and told man only to use these things, for if he accepted the devil’s way and used the actual hormones, man would be cast from the garden and banished forever.

On the sixth day man tried god’s offerings and nothing happened. Then Eve returned from the forbidden tree and gave man his first shot of Sustanon, and although it hurt a little, he saw that it was good. God saw this and was furious and once again a great light descended upon the earth and God appeared and spoke to man. “What is this that thou hast done? Thou hast hearkened unto the voice of the devil and hast taken the drugs of which I commanded thou shalt not?” The man said, “But you shit was too expensive and didn’t work!” God became enraged and banished man who used these drugs from the garden and told him never to return. Man had nowhere to go, so he shacked up with the devil at his gym and really started geezing the juice and man grew huge and lean and very strong.

On the seventh day, while God was resting, man decided he couldn’t take the heat in the devil’s gym anymore and returned and kicked all those punk-ass, wimpy, mother****ers who didn’t use the devil’s drugs out of the garden and took it over. When God returned. the gym was filled with huge ripped bodybuilders, the devil was at the front desk, and hip-hop was blasting on the stereo while man lifted with ferocious intensity.

God’s fury ignited and once again a great light descended upon earth and God appeared and spoke to man. “Why have thou forsaken me? I have banished thee from the garden because you took the devil’s drugs that I have commanded thou shalt not. Why have thou returned?” Then the devil said, “Yo!, back off, G. Can’t you see my shit works? If you didn’t want then to use it, why didn’t you just create man big and ripped in the first place?” God thought a minute and looked around admiring the huge ripped bodybuilders and realized he ****ed up. So, God left the gym and left man to train and to use the devil’s drugs if they wanted, and God saw that this is just the way it is.
