Owning a Gym

Details: Written by Steve Speyrer

If your passion is your job, you never go to work a day in your life.

My only aggravation is when having to deal with insincere people that refuse to follow their program and blame me for their lack of results.

I can only help the sincere!

One secret to success is keeping it small. Each member is a name, not a number.

A small but steady clientele is the key to staying open.

I’ve seen many gyms come and go. Most try to get too big.

The warehouse establishments have a HUGE overhead and cannot stay open, unless they trap their members with contracts.

Producing results is a MUST to keep your members happy and is the best form of advertisement.

There’s still a lot of interest in Vince Gironda these days. Many bodybuilders are intrigued by Vince’s methods and views on bodybuilding, while many other bodybuilders who are more familiar with his work have a vivid impression of him. After all, Vince Gironda was bombastic, opinionated and strong willed. His views on squatting and dieting have become legendary. He voiced his opinions as if they were holy writ, so his emphatic views usually provoked an equally strong reaction in those who heard of them. You can find controversy surrounding his methods and practices as people still debate them today. Vince Gironda was a polarizing figure in the history of bodybuilding.

Mass Message: Fall & Winter Training

Details: Written by Greg Sushinsky

Summer is certainly over—with a vengeance, if you live in the east or the midwest, as you know from shivering every time you go outside now, so thus usually begins the season of shifting your training from training for cuts, to training for mass.

Six Things To Do:

1. Increase Calories Slowly. Some people still do bulk up. There may be a place for this if your sport is football or pro wrestling, but if you’re bodybuilding, don’t think you are going to add twenty pounds of drug-free pure muscle in two or three weeks by eating everything in sight. Add some good calories gradually to your eating, especially if you were on a very strict contest-type diet. This will help you gain muscle mass instead of fat. This is a simple concept, but if you practice it, it will pay off.

You Can Make the Team

Details: Written by Greg Sushinsky

So you want to make the team? You’ve seen the others out on the field on crisp, cool, autumn nights, clashing in their one hundred yard pit, and you want some of this. You want to be a part of this—you need to be a part of it—and if someone has to ask you why, well, they just don’t understand. Oh, you’ve got it bad. You want to make the team.

The good news is you can. These guys are—or were, at one time—just like you. But maybe you’re thinking, “ah, I’m not like them. I’m not good enough.” Stop! Don’t think that. Maybe you’re not as good as they are right now, but the good news is you can do something—maybe an awful lot—about it. Whether athletes are born or made is not as important as the reality that you can always put in the effort to get better, you can improve. The good news is you can work at it, and that good news can pay off.

Where you are right now, you’re not quite sure how to proceed. You know what you want, but you don’t know how to get there. You’ve not played organized football, and you know you need to work on some things before you can even try out for the team. You’ve played sports informally, but you haven’t lifted weights and you can tell that strength is one of the things you need for football, and you’d feel a lot better about trying out if you could get stronger, for sure, and maybe bigger, too. So how does a beginner start?
