My situation is unique, but I will share anyways in case anyone else is considering doing what I am. I am stuck between transitioning from my day job to training full-time. I’ve about maxed out my training schedule with my available hours, but it is not enough income to replace my corporate job. Potential solutions are offering shorter sessions to allow more sessions per hour, do more partner or small group (not a fan of this route), or take a lower paying remote job that allows more schedule flexibility to build up my training business.

Dante’s DC program was my first exposure to high intensity, brief, and infrequent exercise, although he doesn’t claim that it is “HIT.” Somebody told me about it in a gym 15 years ago, and I didn’t think much of it until I got older and was getting exhausted from traditional multiset training. It’s pretty rigid, and not very creative, but it is a solid HIT program.

@Lawrence Neal this was a great discussion, and I appreciate you asking him those questions. I agree with the consensus that strength testing has more value than body composition testing in this business. If a studio has a dedicated body composition program as their focus, which includes some sort of nutrition partner or expert-backed program (i.e. Ellington Darden), that would make more sense.
Been a while since I've posted here.
Over the past several months I've been putting my own advice back into practice with absolute consistency—high-intensity training, proper nutrition, recovery, and patience. The before-and-after picture I'm posting here isn't about perfection. It's simply proof that the principles still work. At 56 years old, I'm still a student of this game, and one thing remains true: the body will respond when you provide the right stimulus and respect recovery. I know there are a lot of experienced HIT guys in this community, so I'd love to hear how everyone's training has been going lately and what kind of results you've been seeing. I've also been putting out a lot of new content on my YouTube channel discussing High-Intensity Training, recovery, training after 40 and 50, and my experiences training alongside Mike Mentzer.

Hope everyone's doing well and still training hard. — Markus Reinhardt

Great job @Markus Reinhardt. Your content about success with high carbohydrate diets, along with John Little’s videos and reading Ellington Darden’s books, have inspired me to give “Carb 300” an honest effort. Clothes are fitting better so far and energy is way up.
Poll on Arranging Different Machines
Here is a poll for the group. If you have different machines from different lines and in different colors, do you think it matters how they are arranged in a studio? Do aesthetics matter more or workout flow? Let’s assume that a studio is not ordering brand new machines from the same manufacturer or investing in powder coating or painting existing machines to match. For argument sake, let’s also say they all have black upholstery since that is easy to either paint or replace. For reference, I have attached a photo from Strength Studio in Minnesota. I’m not sure if they’re in the group, but I think they have done a good job of combining different machines into a very professional looking space.

@Lawrence Neal great summary on the spacing and layout points. I know Luke is big on the same colors, but it’s not always feasible. Professional paint or powder coat is expensive and labor intensive. DIY is risky and could easily turn out worse than the start unless the frame is really in bad shape. I think it’s really worth asking the question if it’s absolutely necessary for a business when resources are limited and could be funneled towards other more impactful start up activities. To play devils advocate, the cheapest gym in the United States has all uniform purple frames, and nothing about their brand yells premium. I understand that uniformity is the status quo for corporate brands though.
