Some of you may have been following McFly's Journey and read his post about OSX Fitness Gym and Training Center located in Wilmington Delaware. McFly, Big Al and a host of others have dropped in for workouts or just to have an old fashioned BS session. I want to thank both of them for walking in that day and falling for the place. Both have written some really great things about us.
See our gym was born out of AnimalPak.com. No bullshit. Years ago when I first stumbled across AnimalPak.com I fell in love with it from the start. Just like all of the rest of the Animal Brothers out there. I continued to visit the site for inspiration, for the attitude, the great articles and of course the best fucking supplements on the planet.
Like so many of you out there I started in my basement 10 years ago with a few weights and little room. I hadn't touched a weight in over 10 years and it was time to get my ass back in shape. I started with a small set of weights that I quickly out grew. I continued to add weights, benches and equipment until I had a nice sized small home gym. But as you all know that can only last so long.
I began looking for a gym that I could workout in and feel comfortable in. A place I could call home. I tried a few local places and experienced everything from one extreme to the other. I lifted in some really nice places that asked that I not come back because they did not want my type in there to some real shit holes that had more diseases than the CDC had cures for.
I was on vacation a few years ago in Bethany Beach, Delaware and needed a place to work out. I found a World Gym that had just opened up and decided to give it a try. I spoke to the owner and he was a really great guy. Showed me around and asked me if there was anything I needed. I asked him if it was ok that I lift heavy and he just replied "Go for it Bro."
After my workout I asked him how long he had been open and he said 2 months. He said business was good but was mostly a lot of "Cardio Monkeys" coming in to hit the treadmills. He said not a lot of big weight movers had found their way in to his place yet but he was really optimistic. I lifted there everyday for 10 straight days. The place was awesome. And he is still in business 3 years later. Why do I tell you this? Because he was nice, and he treated his customers like a customer should be treated. With Respect and honor. He also had the cleanest gym I had ever been in which told me a lot about him and his business. He actually gave a shit.
It was not long after that visit to Word Gym and my constant visit's to AnimalPAk.com that I decided to open up my own place. Yep out of AnimalPak.com and a visit to a gym whil on vacation I decided that I could do it better than anyone else in the area. I could creat a place where athlete's and newbies could train side by side with powerlifters and bodybuilders. This f'd up idea became OSX Fitness....Old School Xtreme Fitness....
