My Brand new Private Studio [Pics]

[sonti]

Are you in Westmount?

[dirtyjerz]

damn brah, nice work, good luck with it!

[NorwichGrad]

WOW!!! I'm happy for you, man. Congrats and best of luck.

First, when I saw the first picture I was like, "Whoa."

Then, the next picture, I was like ,"WHoa."

Then the next, I was like "WHOA, THAT IS FREAKIN' AWESOME STUDIO, MAN."

Then as I was scrolling and reading other comments I saw Keltron's new avatar and I was like, "whoa, those sideburns are really prominent."

[askthetrainer]

Very nice equipment, layout and presentation

Are the photos taken at night?

Do you have any natural light during the day?

[nathan2324]

Question: Where is the curl rack that douchers are inevitably going to do squats in?

Edit: I would work out there. Nice looking studio.

[TwiceTheSpeed]

That's awesome man...Good job!! Beautiful setup.

[tkncwa]

gorgeous set-up!

hope it works out well for you and your clients!!

[socket]

Very nice!

Are you sure you're only 24?

[Mr.ILL]

Very nice place again but do you have barbells, power rack, platform? Do you plan on training any athletes?

I do have a platform. some barbells up to 60lb + and Olympic bar, as for the rest they have to use the smith machine for squats and Bench.

wat

[sonti]

You charge $75/hour for personal training and have really nice bathroom sinks but only a smith machine for squats and bench. Ok. Well I guess Westmount housewives don't know any better so it's cool

[askthetrainer]

Again, studio gangsters who have no idea what it takes to run a studio, talking smack about someone with an insanely-nice studio. Hey Sonti, how much do you charge your clients? And how nice is your studio that you personally own?

This^^ Not saying I'd have a smith machine but if you're designing a studio w/ anti-smith machine meatheads in mind, its going to fail....

Like I posted before, the only thing I can nitpick about the studio would be no natural light (if that's the case). For a client being in there for a couple hours it wouldn't be that bad, but for a gym owner/trainer being in there 8 hours a day it would kind of suck..

Natural light always FTW

[PerFit]

to all the haters..... you need to open your eyes and mind.

Not everyone is a bodybuilder or athlete. If thats you target market all the best to you.

His target market is mentioned earlier and this is the type of equipment you need to train these people.

I love seeing all these people s******ing behind a computer screen. usually these are the ones making the threads "what cert is best" "how do i get clients".

[Liquid Rage]

That is so beautiful. Congratulations. Any bodybuilder would love to work out in that kind of environment.

It is not about knowing better, both me and my partner who are competitive bbers use the studio and the smith to train, Why would a smith machine be bad, if its to lite add some weight and in all honesty I do not think that any of my clients will ever tell me : " Dimitri I would love to train here, BUT the lack of a power rack is aggravating me"

hehe thanks for bringing in some logic in to here bro! Reps on recharge.

Wait I need to be certified to do this!? hehe

Thanks! I am not to sure about bodybuilders loving this, but many of my buddies who are in to the sport do come once or twice a week to workout and love it hehe.

If your going to spend the money, get a power rack not a smith machine. Theres nothing else to it

Smith machines are fine, and they look a lot less "intimidating" to the casual crowd. Remember, it's not a bodybuilding gym, it's meant to be a private PT studio he said. To them, it's a lot safer too since they can just cancel a set at any time by flipping the holds/locks etc.

I love both, but you gotta look at the demand for certain things and weigh up what you need as a PT studio owner vs. what you want as a bodybuilder in your own time. You put your personal opinions and preferences aside, to make the best business decision.

PT-only studios really don't need much in terms of machines and weights at all. Just the basics. This guy's place is actually way more equipped than it needs to be, if anything.

Even this being said I disagree, but its your gym. Good luck.

[PerFit]

Looks awesome! Would love to work out in that studio myself.

Even this being said I disagree, but its your gym. Good luck.

So in order to run the best business you can, you don't do what is in the best interest of the business? Hmmm.

God. What have we created.

[gekkoboy14]

You don't own a gym and are a student, in other words you don't know jack **** and your opinion is completely irrelevant. Thanks for sharing though...

Im not sure if this is a troll attempt or not?

[RobKarpathios]

Dude... that is outstanding. Very impressive. Congrats man! Definitely something that I would love to obtain one day!

Cheers, Keep up the great work!
Rob.

[Nah Tanoj]

Wow, very nice setup. Looks like you put a lot of thought, time, and money into it. Good luck with the business.
