Oops - I've done it again

Forgive me for being a pain in the ass, but again I'm going to make some changes to the structure here at The Garage. But first I'll tell you why...

I love fitness, lets get that straight. It's probably no surprise to any of you and that's because its the truth. I study it constantly, try to do it consistently and for the past two years, have been sharing that knowledge with you all.

Of course I also love a lot of other things in life, and despite the pleasure I derive from running a business, it is not what I solely want to do with my life. It was then, but it isn't now. Of course, if I were to just shut the doors, all of you would be left without this fantastic facility, and the equipment would just collect dust. What a waste. Not the best option. And besides, I do like it here, I just don't have the time to run it like I have been. Sure I could hire other trainers, and Ive thought about it a lot, but again, this will take up my time and is not how I want to see the place end up. It started as a nice, communal gym, and it will end up as one. And this is what I have in mind.

The first change will be the opening hours. No longer will I be open all day everyday as I have been, and training one client every few hours. Not a good use of my time. I will therefore open from the times: 7am - 10am and 4pm - 7:30pm.

Secondly, we will still have bookings due to the limited space, but we will be able to book up to two clients per half hour, and sometimes three, but we'll see how that goes. For now it will be two clients per sessions. The bookings will also be left up to you, on our new communal bookings board. Each week you will write up the times you would like to come in, for everyone to see, so you can all work around each other. And the onus is on you to turn up, if you do not, and I notice you are writing up times and not coming in, you'll be booted out of the community garage gym for lack of commitment and wasting other peoples time.

Thirdly, I'm scraping all payment methods, systems, plans, rates etc. From now on, there will be one flat rate and one flat rate only. $20 per session. Every time you come to the community garage, you will pay just $20 for entry. Its pay as you go. That's all there will be. $20 visits. Nothing more, nothing less.

Fourthly, keeping score of all your workouts will be up to you from now on. I'll teach you all how to do it, and if you wish, you can keep track of your workouts. If you don't care. Don't do it. It's your choice.

I'll still write up workouts, watch and teach you technique, motivate and push you that bit further. I'll keep going with the website as it is a great way to pass on knowledge and just have fun. I'll pretty much do what Ive been doing. Keeping the gym going, keeping it clean and tidy, making sure there are fresh towels and water. And offering fitness advice whenever i can.

The only real changes is the $20, and communal booking board, and the time open and closed.

This way, it will ensure the continuation of the studio and allow me to also pursue my other endeavours. If these changes are not to your liking, your more than happy to join a commercial gym, or pay a minimum of $50 per session at a personal training studio. I doesn't phase me. What I do know is that we are the best priced personal training studio, we have the best approach to training around, and we have a lot of fun competing and urging each other on through our results. Not many other studios can boast these three claims.
