New Chapter

[Quad-smack]

It's finally done. I have closed my gym & sold all of the equipment. I helped the buyer load everything up starting Friday at about 5pm and just finished last night at 7pm. Three 26' trucks and a pickup and we still had to store stuff in my garage. I didn't know I had so much she-it!
I am physically and emotionally drained. I have today to collect myself. Tomorrow I start orientation for my new job. I have been told that there are 11 people in addition to my training clients that I am bringing over already signed up to train with me! I guess I will be hitting the ground running...
Thanks to everyone that listend to me and encouraged me through this transition time in my life.

No substitute for hard work. You are on your way, just stay focused. Good luck, but you probably won't need it.

Hey Quad, I'll share this tory here as I think it is appropriate.

4 years ago My ex and I made a decision to close our gym in the town we lived in for just over 7 years. The last night we were open was one of the hardest nights of my life. The last customers were in doing some training, two guys that had been coming in for the entire seven years. So one of them is on the incline bench and was looking for a spot. His buddy was more than willing to do this but I stepped in and said I think I should do this, it will be the last spot anyone ever gets from this gym. I wanted it to come from me. Just a highly personal thing to me. As I was spotting him I could feel my emotions getting the better of me. So I helped him through his spot and saw them to the door. SOmething inside went snap as I threw the lock on that door for the last time and started to pack things up. SO the emotional drain is fully understood bro. It is a part of your life and as you have put it a chapter that you will never ever forget. I have no regrets for leaving that town and starting over somewhere else but shit, it was a tough weekend that one. my ex and I were a wreck. Somewhat relieved but wrecks none the less.

Good luck in your new venture brother and as I like to say it was one hellofa ride man. You will do well and you get to spend time with your family now, this is the most important factor in your life, enjoy brother!!
