Any fellow animals here living in Sweden? You see, I'm looking to gather people for participation in fututre ABC-events, preferably in Stockholm (at least to begin with). I do hope that we can get something going here, because we also want to contribute - right!?

So, if you live in Sweden, please post on this thread and make your voice heard..

Animal is a brand that's growing in Sweden and I believe it's available in the shops there. So let's get this thing off the ground fellas. Who here is from Sweden?

It's about time to get something going here. I do believe that the owners of the gym where I train will be supportive if people show interest and something happens.. I'll look into that, and try to get them to join this place as well.

Great thing about the e-mail addresses.. thanks for showing interest!

Cheers!

Yes, Stockholm is the location.. it is a beatiful city, believe me. It's built on a a number of islands, so you get a lot of water around you. You should come here during spring or summer (that's what they always say, hehe.. tacky shit!).

Hey, my place is at least ten stars.. maybe eleven! Homemade cooking, oatmeal for breakfast every damn day.. and how about less than a 10-minute jog to a hardcore gym?

Otherwise there's loads of strange hotels (good and bad) in the city centre and around.. but the standard is high in this country.. that's why everything is so damn expensive!

I'll put some energy into finding more people that aren't registred at the F O R V M.. hopefully they will be interested in doing this, and maybe aven agree to sign up here. When enough people show interest, I'll try to organize this and settle something with the owners of my gym.. I actually mentioned this to one of the owners today, and she thought it would probably be a fun thing to do. But in the end, if they're not interested, there are other gyms to visit.

Does one have to be a registred member at the F O R V M in order to join an ABC-event?

Awesome. When you get 'em together, I'll try to get Corporate to coordinate something with their Swedish distributor to hook you fellas up with promos, samples, etc.

First is to get a bunch of fellas together. Have 'em come here, register, and post in this thread so we can eventually get an accurate headcount. Find a gym that will accomodate the ABC event (I may be able to help here, with some work).

That's it. It's really on your shoulders now to get things going. I'll help out any way I can. Good luck.

Thanks man! Of course it's going to work.. it has to! But I suppose we'll have to have some patience before a proper headcount is reached.. I'll sit tight and watch this thread for more posts.. meanwhile I'll also try to recruit more animals.

Yo P, I heard back from Corporate who spoke to the distributor in Sweden. They recommend a couple of gyms:

Delta Gym (Stockholm)

Ego Gym (Sundsvall)

Athletic Gym (Malmö)

Exhale Gym (Gothenburg)

Corporate also indicated that one of the retailers may be picking up the Animal Gear in the near future. Stay tuned.

The gym that I would recommend (in Stockholm) is Bodyfitness Gym in Bandhagen just outside the city. It's hardcore, and the owners are entusiastic people. There's no "commerce" whatsoever.. a really good place to do this. And as I said earlier on, they'll probably give it a shot.

Just a quick update from Sweden: I just spoke to the other owner of my gym (Bodyfitness Gym in Bandhagen, Stockholm), and he said hosting a future ABC-event seemed interesting. I'll provide him more information when we reach a reasonable headcount on this thread. Anyway, this means we've got at least one gym that we can use for our purpose - as long as the owners of the gym don't decide on not going for it.

That's all for now folks!

Yes, apparently Universal contacted him and told him to contact me - pronto! What I make out of this, is that TNC is Universal's distributor in Sweden. I'm sorry, but I thought it was you who had been in contact with Andreas Ottander, hehe.. but I suppose corporate was responsible for this?

Gotcha, P. I'm gonna guess it makes TNC a reseller or a retailer in Sweden, as they aren't the main distributor. Either way, glad to see I made some headway with Corporate. Their Sales Department likely talked directly to the distributor, who then talked to the retailer, or something like that. Either way, things are looking up if the retailer who carries Animal products is on board in this thread. It's only a matter of time before he picks up some Animal Gear.

OK, just got word from Corporate that a retailer in Sweden, TNC, will be picking up an Animal shirt or two for sale. Also, with luck, he'll get the promo shirt as well. Yo P, hit me up with PM and let me know the headcount and the sizes of those tentatively coming. We'll go from there. When they become available, I'm guessing it'll be here: http://www.tncse.com/index.do;jsessionid=36F24585418FA0D625D960AD3B3A80 5F

Hi man. I haven't gotten much further in the arrangements for this future gathering. The owners of my gym seem to be allright with it, but I have to provide more info. And I'm also going to put up a note with some information on the noticeboard of the gym, hoping to catch a few interested lads and lasses. This is a rather slow process, and I don't expect a gathering until maybe May (I HOPE). Few Swedish members at the F O R V M also slows the whole thing down.

Still, I'm in high spirits - I recruited a friend (nickname: kurzweil) who was supposed to post a few lines here, but he might have trouble registering, because I can't find him in "The Legion" section??? I also managed to catch another acquaintance who said he'd forward the link I sent him for registering here - and this guy has loads of contacts, since he's in the retail business for supplements and nutrition and stuff like that. So all in all, it's moving forward here.. even if it's in a slow pace!

By the way - How many need to attend an ABC gathering? And, how many have to be registred members of this forum? I suppose I can get unregistred people from my gym to join this event.

I'll send you more info in a PM on the double!

No limits. Several of the chapters started with as few as 2-3. Others, with a lot more. You do what you can.

Yes, those who come should join the Forvm first so they can stand up to be counted. Accurate headcounts are needed by G to send the right number of promo stuff.

Which retailer is this? I've checked TNC, but found no Animal gear for sale (?). I have a couple of Ts to lend my fellow animals on the future event, if we can't get hold of any from whichever retailer.

Animal banner? Where/to whom is this banner sent? This is the first time I ever hear of the banner being sent at all. If it has not been sent, I can provide my address in order to have it sent to me.

As mentioned above, I wish to do this late in May - how long does it take to get us what we need if we decide on a date soon enough?

These are not the shirts for sale... Just yet. These are the Animal Iconic Ts which all members who wear an Animal t-shirt to the event get for free. We got the "reward" Ts, not we gotta hook up TNC for the ones to buy...

No specific date decided as of now, but I've suggested some saturday morning in the end of May. As for the headcount, Spinkolores is the only one who have posted in this thread. But I know there are more people to come, they're just lazy ass bastards who don't put a tiny spark of energy to post here even though they are registred members! So, the guys I know will join the event so far are:

Panzerwagen (that is me)
Spinkolores
Kurzweil
Nordberg

I know Nordberg will try to recruit som more people for the F O R V M and the first Sweden ABC gathering as well. I also know a photographer who will be at hand when it's time to get this going.

Get as many people as you can bro. Light that fire underneath their asses. If I could fly there I'd help you pick up more people. Explain to them what an ABC event is all about. Have them sign up at the Forvm as well. As long as they are members they can post whenever they feel they want to. Get them to unite. Have an idea of a day yet?

I'm working on it. The problem is, these guys have a LOT to do on an everyday basis, so I understand why they're slow on posting. Hopefully they'll start using this forum soon enough. Still, I know they'll show up at the event.

No idea of day yet, but I'll get back on that one as soon as I have talked to them.

Good to see you

In Stockholm, the first ABC gathering will take place at Bodyfitness Gym in Bandhagen. As soon as a few more people show interest in this, I'll settle all the details with the gym owners. I hope to get this gathering done in the end of May - if not, the first week in June might be an option. We're talking weekends - most likely a saturday at about 10.00 AM.

Andreas - have you received the yellow T-shirts from Universal yet? I don't know if they were sent to you or someone else in this game?

Good to see you Kurz.. finally! One step closer to getting this thing to happen for real.

I have asked for the banner to be sent to me, and hopefully it'll reach the shores of Stockholm in time for the event. I'll keep everyone informed on everything..

Please, lads and lasses.. post here if you're interested in joining the first Sweden ABC gathering!

Training Nutrition Center is opening up more stores in Sweden right now, next opening will be Karlstad in May. After that Örebro in August. Hopefully we can open in Stockholm also this fall. We are busy! But soon you can buy your animal gear/stuff all over Sweden. (if you can not get to any store check out www.tncse.com

Have ya got a gym in Stockholm nailed down yet? Check with G Diesel or naturalguy about the banner...

The Animal Iconic Ts are in Sweden, ready to be shipped. As a reminder, wear an Animal shirt to the event as a sign of solidarity, sign the banner, take a group shot, and get a free Iconic T...

The gym will be Bodyfitness Gym in Bandhagen, not too far from the city centre. I have contacted Enforcer about the banner, and hopefully he'll make sure we get what we need in due time!

UPDATE ON THE UPCOMING ABC IN STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN

As a suggestion, the ABC gathering will take place on June 7, preferably around 10.00 in the morning. The gym will probably open at 12.00 - noon that is - because June 6 is the Swedish National Day, which means people will suffer from hangovers and similar shit! BUT, i talked to the gym owner, and she said we can most certainly have access to the gym before opening hours.. This is GREAT news my friends!

So, what do you all say - will June 7, Saturday, work for you guys?

--- To U-Rep: Which distributor has the yellow Ts?

Not many Swedes here either, but I'm working on getting more of my personal friends to join. Fortunately some of them will join the upcoming event.

As for getting to Bandhagen. Just take the train form Ropsten to Slussen - Switch to Green line 19 towards Hagsätra. Bandhagen is a few stops from Globen. When you get to Bandhagen, just skid across the square on your left hand side and you'll see the gym! You can basically see the gym from the underground station.

How it works is, ya wear an Animal t-shirt to the first ABC event, then ya get one of the Animal Iconic Ts (yellow) for free. The Iconic Ts are in Sweden as we speak.

U-REP: I'm e-mail-battling with Andreas these days, so luckily he's engaged in the matter. I also have contact with another retailer - Nordberg - maybe he can help as well..

JONKEN: If all else fails, I have a friend in Pittsburgh that might be able to help later on.

True. Anyway, the important thing is that we meet and train. Some will wear the gear, some won't.. since I already have a yellow, I will most likely give mine away to someone who doesn't have one if every one of us can't manage to get hold of one of his own!

JONKEN: Thrawn form Holland offered to send either his own 2 old Ts, or looking into the possibility of getting a few Ts from the European distributor located in Holland. Check this.. you can find this discussion some page back in this thread. I'm also trying to figure out if any of my friends are interested in this.


To U-Rep and all...
I'll also see if Andras ottander from TNC can speed up the process of getting some regular Ts soon enough!

OH that sounds awsome. Eighter one of those works for me. But im still a small guy (63KG 183cm, barpen 65kg 170cm)so i gues we need Medium size. Ive also had some problems with my Mastercard lately, but i guess i can fix that soon.

If you find it inconvenient, I'll help out.. but it would be a good thing if all members took care of their personal business due to the fact that ther will be some stuff to do for me as a coordinator anyway! But give me a shout if you want me to do something for you and Mr. Barp!

Ok fellas, just got an update on what TNC is gonna pick up from Corporate...

- Yellow Animal Iconic T-Shirts (M-2XL)
- Red Animal Iconic T-Shirts (M-2XL)
- Animal FlexFit Cap
- Animal Skullcap
- Animal Beanie
- Animal Jerseys (just a handful)
- "Animal" t-shirt
- "Squat Til You Puke" t-shirt
- "I'm Not Here To Talk" t-shirt
- "Shut The Fuck Up And Train" t-shirt
- Animal sweatshirts (crew and zip ups)
- Animal tank tops

In addition, they'll be picking up some class "Universal" t-shirts as well. Looks like you fellas in Sweden are gonna be well covered...

Keep in mind that TNC isn't gonna order a lot of everything, so it'll be first come first serve.

Corporate also indicated that because both the yellow and red Iconic Ts are out of stock, the order hasn't been shipped yet. With any luck, TNC will have the Animal Gear by the end of May...


The next step is for Corporate to work with each of their international partners and make this selection of Animal Gear available... Stay tuned.

THE GYM: Talked to the owner yesterday. She will set us free in the gym at 10.30 AM. There will be a fee of 50kr / person for this, which is perfectly fine according to me - they will open up the gym for us on closed hours, and I also see it as a contribution to this small independent hardcore gym! I will also pay, even though I have a membership.. There will also be an opportunity to buy a cheap 3-month summer membership at a reduced cost. Also, post workout protein shakes can be bought for anyone who's interested.

THE HEADCOUNT: So far I definitely know this people will show up at the gathering

Remember, we might increase in number during the month to come!

THE FOOD: Being Saturday and all, I suppose PIZZA is the word of the day! The ones I talked to want to eat this shit, and I hope the ones I haven't talked to agree on it too? Otherwise, please post your ideas here! My idea is that we just get to a pizza place nearby after the workout.

THE GEAR: Supposedly, there will be gear for everone, or at least most of us. If things won't work out with the retailer, my new hero - Thrawn - will support us with a few shirts and poster! Thanks a lot for that you Dutch son of a gun! Hopefully, TNC or other retailer will also be able to support us with some pre workout supps as well.

About the posters then - How many are they, and how much can it cost to get them shipped here? Can Universal Europe offer to help deliver them in any way you think?

I would have to count them. I think its about 5 or 6. Will let you know. I am at work now so obviously cant answer that right now. Universal Europe could help, but i might as well just send the posters myself. Not that big a deal.

I suppose you're talking about the Reds and Yellows that will be for sale, i.e. not the same stock as the ones we're supposed to earn by hard work and wearing the Animal brand during the ABC?

Reds and yellows will be for sale, along with several black Ts with the Animal sayings. ABC event members who sport an Animal T (any style) at the first event get a yellow one free after the event.

I believe we'll have a ball when the day comes! No lasses have shown interest so far, except from two members from the gym. But they're not interested in participating in the actual event, they're just going to stick around and watch (not that they don't WANT to train, but it's their day off). But we'll see what happens!

Yes, we're getting closer. I want this thing to be something special... still, if you look at it from a distance, it's only gonna be a bunch of guys training together - but it's gonna be more than just showing up as a regular member of a gym... true spirit!

Damn! I can't believe gyms actually play those fucked up radio stations? Sure, it's a matter of taste and preference, but I just can't seem to realise how one could possibly find more motivation in love ballads and the like?

It don't know if you agree (one doesn't have to agree on everything) but it might be because most people simply prefer to stick around in the gym rather than training there? You know, taking up space, listening to the good old love music, longing for the "workout" to be over so they can go home and feel good about themselves.
