Animal gym franchise? Thoughts?
An Animal gym would be cool. A hard core place to make a pilgrimage to. A chain of Animal gyms sounds commercial and eventually watered down. If I went to an Animal Gym, the last thing I want is to be greeted by a salesperson and given a tour of the cardio theatre. All the best gyms I’ve ever trained at, the first person to great me was always the owner’s dog.
I can’t see animal opening their own gyms, but maybe affiliate gyms that are associated with them? Places that they know are about training without a bunch of bullshit, sponsor ABCs and PL meets, and stock animal supps and merch on site.
I still think there should be an ABC event at the universal HQ gym... just sayin!
Something broader based, not every state but one in each region. The only opportunity we get to see these great Iron athletes is at the Arnold. Maybe even a traveling gym. Dare I say like a circus! Bringing the "ANIMALS" to a city near you! A set up similar to the cage. Now that would be the "Greastest show on earth"!
That's a great idea, or something similar; in addition to the national ABC event in Columbus.
On a somewhat related note, I can say that the year I attended the Arnold and the national ABC event, was easily one of the coolest gym/training related experiences I've ever had. It's right up there with my first powerlifting meet. That was long before my wife and I had kids, and the disposable income was a little easier to come by. Now, it's totally out of the question. Traveling from Utah, staying a couple nights and feeding myself for the weekend, is too much to justify when we've got family vacations to plan for.
So while I know (assume) that a "traveling" ABC event, with a few different stops across the county, is probably not feasible or desirable to corporate, it sure would be bad ass. I reckon many of us just can't make a trip to Ohio happen. My interest, passion and loyalty for the brand was at an all time high after I attended the ABC event.
