What do you Gents think of my gym space?

[DIB42]

Way too fancy for my taste... I'd feel bad bleeding in it... I'm sure there is a market for a swanky gym though. Are you going to put a ring and a cage in? Our Gym had a half cage, which worked for situational drills, but wasn't adequate for sparring.

Before I finally decided to move to Europe I use to work for Michael. He is a mentor, friend, and brilliant business mind. He had a lot of bad experiences so he wants nothing to do with training athletes which is a loss for the boxing community because he is easily 1 of the best teachers in the world. I want a gym like his, with his clientele, the only difference is I won't consider myself or journey successful until I have trained a WBC Champion of the World. You never change a successful business model. Just add to it

What makes you say that?

I don't want to say to many things here on the forum those alphabet crew be on it. we can skype and I will put you on

Professional Boxing is illegal in Norway. amateur boxing is not. Denmark, Sweden, and Finland have big promotions all the time.

The best female boxer in the world is Norwegian and in the next year or 2 pro boxing will be legal here.

Norway is the richest nation in the world and boast the best quality of life. Norway is in a huge growth movement including the legalization of boxing here. I enjoy growing with something. Sure I could move home and crush it....however I love my life here and business possibilities.

I'm not rich yet so yes my business motto is membership. That makes it easier for me to train athletes and future athletes.

Overall I like living in the richest nation in the world with the best quality of life. I enjoy being able to take weekend trips to any number of countries. This is a great hub to travel to different cultures spontaneously. I think I'm lucky to be able to have a business here and more importantly a family. My daughter is starting her life in the green and for that I am happy here.

I am not by all means wishing bad luck to your business, but boxing training and rich places do not go together. I mean you can yearn good living with a descent gym, but I kinda doubt you will be able to make real champs there, not because of your skills, but because of lack of talents. The guys there are not hungry enough so to speak. Maybe female boxing only. Men's Boxing is for getto.

Ok I wish you continued success with your boxjng website and coaching aspirations. When you have time check out my videos from my local amateur boxing club in norway. I also reccommend traveling and seeing with your eyes instead of only reading. I like my chances there are tons of gritty norwegian kids, somolian, afgans, peruvian, and now recently albanian. Im not stressed and your welcomed to visit. Thanks Champ

haha, ok here is another poke: only christians and believers make it far in boxing by becomeing great champions. If you have none - bet on catholics at least like mexicans. But "somolian, afgans, peruvian, and now recently albanian" - no chances regardless of your gym posh and your coaching talents. Sorry, statistics never lies!

The same for your coaching aspirations. The odds are stacked against you but god speed champ

I pretty much echo the sentiments of others ITT. It looks like it will be a tad challenging space wise, but with some proper planning and visualizations I think you could make it work well. For instance I love the stairs, looks boss as hell, but might eat up too much space for what their worth. Or you could reinforce them and have your heavy bags, speed bags, etc under the platforms. Hard to tell just by the video, as it might be a little deceiving how big/small the space is, but it looks like good

Thanks! I gotta make this work. This will be my very first gym and I'm sure will be a great vehicle to grow and expand in the future. I so earned this oppurnunity. I also think the space is Boss. We will see what happens. With what I have been through in my life nothing is impossible in regards to making this work.
