I said that I had the "Marbles" for it and I do. I just want to put this damn state on the map. I know there are plenty of lifters. Hell I live in a small town (14,000) and there are at lest twetny-five to fifty guys that could join. I am going to the gym tonight and letting them know about Kansas ABC!

Are there solid gyms in the McPherson area? If not, you may have to look at Wichita.

I go back to Kansas once a year... My family lives in Wichita, which is where I grew up... Went to Bishop Carroll high school... Hopefully when I go back there, next time, you guys will have this up and running and we can hit the iron together!!! Peace.

Well McPherson has a gym in town and a local YMCA. Both facilities house lifters of ABC quality and I don't think they will be going anywhere soon. I know what you mean about Wichita and I am trying to establish some connections there. A group of guys from Wichita is moving thirty minutes down the road to train MMA. These guys would be good additions as well.

Im a Kansas boy, but seemed to have joined the Mizzou family! LOL. Im not sure exactly where you are thinking of having the Kansas ABC's, but I would definately be in to represent. Im smack in the middle of KC and Wichita basically, but I have family in Wichita so that would be a lot better for me than McPherson...

Zeophite
05-15-08, 6:23 pm
Yeah bro if you know where Wichita is McPherson is right near by. I intend to find someone willing to help me set things up and have the home be in Wichita. I am also planning on moving to a bigger city sometime so that will help things as well. I am always open for whatever.

Please if there is someone in Topeka already available then that would be great. I am not tryin to step on toes. Topeka would be a great center for this thing.

I will talk to him and see what he thinks. Like I said, we had been making the trip to KC all the time, but Wichita or especially Topeka would be closer. I live in Emporia and we have a pretty nice gym here as well...I will get ahold of him and get back to you!

You're can hold the first ABC in McPherson, but long term, I really think you'll have more luck in Wichita--not just because of the gyms, but because of future members. If ya want, I can check to see if Corporate has any direct relations with gyms in Wichita.

How far a drive is it from Topeka to Wichita? If far enough, we should consider starting a Topeka, KS chapter as well.

Well here is what we have...I live in Emporia (about 35 minutes south of Topeka, and about an hour north of Wichita). I honestly dont mind the drive either way, because up until this point my only other option is KC which is about 2 hours for me now. Topeka seems to be almost perfectly centered from Wichita and KC, looking to be about an hour and a half either way...

Well, we have an ABC that regularly holds events in Kansas City. And KC is about 60 miles from Topeka, so, I think Wichita/McPherson would make more sense. Emporia is sorta between Wichita and Topeka, so it looks like you have some options for attending different ABCs.

Yeah I know...I have been to a KC ABC. I am totally down for Wichita. As mentioned I am right in the middle and totally ok with that! The KC guys are great and Wichita would be closer so just let me know if there is anything I can do to help get this bad boy off the ground!

How about trying out one of their "Genesis" facilities? They have four, so if you just want to pick the most convenient place and go from there. http://www.genesishealthclubs.com/index.php this is their home page. Take a look at it, if you like the looks of it pick a location and just let me know. I will mapquest it. How does the second weekend in June sound for you guys? Im good any time, but I know our KC buddy that would want to come is doing his ABC this weekend and that would at least give him a small break before shooting off to another...Just hit me back.

05-20-08, 11:07 pm
Sounds good. I was thinkning of the first or second weekend in June. I graduate from College this weekend and will be very busy. I didn't want to go to the damn graduation, but family, friends and professors are giving me a hard time about it so I gave in and I am going to the damn thing. I don't really like all of this look-at-me bullshit if you know what I mean.

Genesis is good, if you think of somethin else let me know. I am going to call a guy this weekend that trains MMA and he might have some ideas about that are. He actually used to live in Wichita.

Cool.... Lol my Wife hates the idea of me lifting with a bunch of strangers, but she is a couch potato, lol... We should all get something planned out. Maybe lift somewhere and then head to a restaurant for lunch or something. I am a morning lifter kinda guy... Maybe something around 10am or something on a Saturday morning or something...

HELL, if you are all YMCA members or something maybe we can do bi-weekly meets or something at the same Y, I dunno. There are tons of possibilities.

LOL. My wife was the same way when I went to the KC ABC last month, but truth be told, those guys are amazing. (Dont tell them I said that). I am totally down for a meal afterwards. Thats whats great about the ABC's. Great lifting sessions and great company. Lets find out what the guys think would be best (first or second weekend in June). What are the daily rates at the Y?

Greg_G
05-22-08, 9:18 pm
I am not sure on the Daily rate but I will check. I don't know about Cameras and shit though, people might think that's a little weird, lol.... I know it's pretty busy in there sometimes. Maybe some pics in the parking lot and some at the restaurant or something, I dunno... The Y might have rules against cameras too in respect to the other members, I don't know...

I will look into the daily rate. If anything I will email some other gyms in the area and see if I can work something out. I plan on making a Wichita ABC club website so maybe the gym we use can be advertised on there and in return they hook the ABC members up once or twice a month, I don't know.

Who would be down for the 7th of June at the NORTH YMCA in Wichita, KS????

Let's say 10am or so??? We can figure all that out eventually...

I figure if we can, we meet in the back of the parking lot, BS, take some pics, then go workout... Then head somewhere for some food and some more pics. How does that sound for everyone???

I will check on the day rate for the gym as well.... My wife works there but unfortunetly I can't get any 'hook up' on anything, even as a member I get no certain amount of 'x' passes.

And uh..... Do we need Animal shirts because that could be a problem.....

Tonight at work I have a gym I will email as well to see if we can use it for free, or get a really good deal. But the YMCA is also up for us, I just wanna find somewhere with the best deal for everyone.

No... And I will check on the pics....

And I found out today that the 7th is my mother in laws birthday party and my wife works the first half of that day... So the 7th would be a BAD day for me, I wouldn't be able to make it.

However the nest weekend should be a go... Would need to be 1pm or later though, I completely forgot that my wife work Saturday mornings, at the Y, but I watch the kids while she's gone.

I can do a sunday morning though.

This seems like a logical fit. We can go in the afternoon, that gives us guys from Mac time to get down there. I don't want to get up too early in the morning.

I don't think that we need animal shirts. We can talk about alot of this stuff considering it will be our first formal meeting. I am sure that just setting this up and getting people to it will be a huge first step.

GregG thanks for all the input and help. Let us know and I think that we can work around whatever you need us to.

I was excited as hell when I came upon this but it looks it kind of fell off. I just joined the Forvm and reading up what the ABC is all about. If anyone is interested still I get home from my deployment soon. I'm active Air Force at McConnell but rotate the different Y's in Wichita, mostly the east and north Y's. Genesis is a good club but became a Y member so the whole family can enjoy. Well hit me up if you want to get this going again and I'll help anyway I can.

What's up Kansas Animals?! I just joined the forvm this week and saw fellow Kansans on this thing and had to see what it was all about. I'm afraid I'm not very up to speed on what goes on at these get togethers. However, I attend the Northwest Y in Wichita regularly and saw a couple questions that I may be able to help with. I'm not sure about the whole pictures thing, but I DO know that I took a friend to the gym a couple times and they let him in for $6 with a member.

I am very busy with school (the never ending engineering degree), work, and family, but I would like to participate in any way that I can. Let me know if I can help.

Ok fellas we have a new abc in line for aug. 24 time has not yet been verified but I am free on sundays. I know there has to be some more people in wichita or surrounding areas to join in on this. There is no reason there hasn't been one in ks yet. I personally would enjoy lifting with some fellow animals I will be posting up some flyers around town to promote this event more. So lets go animal step up and join in. YOU CAN'T JUST CALL YOURSELF AN ANIMAL YOU HAVE TO PROVE IT THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME LET'S MOVE SOME WEIGHTS.

Pisses me off but I want to get this abc underway and get that fire lit again and get to moving some fuckin weight so lets put some solid shit together and make this mother fucker one to remember!!!!

im voting for nw y except that one tends to get rather crowded do we have any idea which one were going too.
lookin forward to some deads

Haven't trained at that one but don't have a problem with that. What do their db's go to there?

Put me down for two, possible three. I actually dont work anything on Saturday so that means Im open for anything (except legs. I am currently healing a quad injury). Not to mention (while heavy is relative), I look forward to being the smallest guy there! LOL. They still do shirts for these things? If so, everyone will need put in for sizes and stuff...Anyway, keep me posted fellas. Im stoked

Hey whats up guys?

I saw this thread and thought it would be a good idea if I got involved to see if we could spur this thing a little bit. Let me give ya a little background details..

My name is Jared and I'm one of the guys that runs Supplement Giant.. If you don't know about us, we have two stores here in town and are definitely the place to go for anyone looking for good prices on supplements.

My thoughts on the ABC were that we could run it through the stores, it would definitely hit a lot more people, be easier to organize, and would get more people involved.

Let me know what you guys think because I'd be more than happy to get involved with this.. We can even take it past just lifting together and even have some sort of seminars with different guys hosting them once every 2 weeks. Maybe some bodybuilders, chiropractors (w/ ART certs), who knows.

More than likely I could get something set up with at least one of the gyms to let us come and train once a month or something without having to shell out a bunch of money.

Jared

Oh and there may be a way to do a discount for ABC members too.. Not sure yet, and don't hold me to it.. If not a discount then some other freebies. I know Universal/Animal wouldn't have a big problem cooping shirts and stuff for all of the ABC members.

that would be cool bro!! i'm not sure who would actually have to answer that question maybe g diesel or coranato!! think we would all be cool with some discounts (lol) not sure though i'll see what i can do and ask some of the guys in here who are in charge!!

That would be awesome Jared. I read a lot over at intense... and that would be awesome to get you involved. I get almost all my stuff from you guys now, pretty much online prices.

I think I looked and it has B.S. listed as the coordinator.. Maybe once he gets on here we can see what all is going on. I think it'd be pretty easy for me to get a group of guys in for the ABC... From Facebook to our email list, to just flyers in our store it could end up being a pretty good amount of guys getting together every couple weeks.

Brock (B.S.), I don't mean to step on any toes - but flyers in my store is really not what I meant. When I came on here my goal was to see if you guys wanted me to take it over and run it through my stores, not just have me help spread the word a bit. Now, if you guys don't want me to get involved and take it over - then I absolutely will not interfere.

I don't like to do things half-assed... So If I'm going to do this I'm going to get in touch with my rep at animal and start getting some shirts printed up for all of the ABC members (it shouldn't just be the generic "animal" shirt). I'm going to get more people involved through flyers at my store, an email to all of our subscribers (about 8k), and posting it on our supplement giant facebook - with about 2500 friends in Wichita.

I'm not looking to make this a meet up of about once every 3 months.. I want to have something going on at least once a month and preferably more - because let's be honest, there are a lot of scheduling difficulties - so having multiple days to come hit up the ABC would be preferable.

Realistically I want to turn this into something more than just the run of the mill ABC.. Once a large group of guys gets committed to an idea like this - there's endless possibilities of the things we could have going on. A large group of guys in an ABC in Wichita, KS with a good amount of media coverage (pictures, videos for the forum), will attract a lot of Universal's attention and could end up having some of their guys come down here to train.

On the other hand, it may be possible no one is interested in a meet-up group to lift other than the people that are into this forum... But I have a feeling there would be a lot of people signing up, and showing up.

I want you guys to let me know if you want me to help take this over - because I'm all in with everything - or not really at all.

now understanding where you are coming from is a great idea. i might have missed what you actually meant.

That sounds awesome to me Jared. I wouldn't mind if it got switched to Genesis because I believe that's where you train. Haven't seen you at any of the Y's anyway. Do you still do contest prep? I remember you guys sent an email out quite awhile ago about that and know you've been under Team Skip. I'm looking at possibly doing my first contest at some point.

I appreciate it man. I was hoping I didn't come across the wrong way. I really think we could make this ABC into something better than the rest of them out there. The more people involved, the more things we could bring to wichita. I have a feeling the gyms would be willing to work with us as well.

Yeah I'm at Genesis.. I switched away from the Y to get away from the kids for the most part.. Been at genesis for probably about 2 years now. I train at the one on central and tyler. It's not too bad but I will probably switch back to the Y because my son will be getting big enough to get involved in some different activities before long (but I may have a few years left at genesis).

As for contest prep and everything - yeah I still do all of that. Haven't sent out any emails or anything since last year, just working off a few clients and referrals mostly. What show are you looking to do? Which organization? NPC?

I want to switch over there but my kids like the water parks etc. so that's the only thing that keeps me there. I'm trying to find a show that isn't too big for my first one. Would like to do an NPC event just don't see much around here. Saw Oklahoma but those look like national qualifiers and don't want to embarrass myself either. I go up to SG at least once a month. If I see you I'll introduce myself and see about getting more info on that.
