Nice...
Babylon. You?
I don't have my own place, I won't for a while. Rent is expensive as shit here. At the best I can get 1000 sq ft for 7 bucks a sq ft and that is in an industrial park with no visibility other than word of mouth and advertising. That would be 7 grand a month and I'd have to pay all my own utilities and maintenance. Upwards of 8000 a month for just rent and utilities... minus what I need to make out of that to pay my personal household bills I would need to have about 65 fulltime clients at $125 a month just to pay my bills. That is difficult to do.
I honestly don't know how CF boxes make money here, I've been to several and a couple of them are in high traffic areas and I know the rent has to be about 15-30 dollars a sq ft there...
I'm not into committing financial suicide at this stage of my life so I work out of World Gym in West Babylon. I'm an independent trainer for them and they have everything I need. Strongman, powerlifting, sports performance equipment, some incredible athletes/lifters there so I have a supply of face-to-face knowledge if I have a question. We are the last gym on the Island that has a setup like we do that is "public". The others are Catz, CF gyms and some place in Stony Brook that is appointment only. So I am lucky.
If you come back up, let me know, you can use my place for your training for sure.
