Who is going to Strength Forum Next Week?
Being in Canada we have already had our first snow fall of the year. Looking forward to Florida and the weather but more importantly to catch up with all the great people who are going. Nothing better then catching up in person. Note: The look on my face when I see they are calling for 80+ Fahrenheit.

Good morning Mike.I sure enjoy your gym tours but I envy all the equipment you have.The best I now have access to is the nitro plus. I also can go to a big box gym that has The One machines but they have traded some of it off for a far inferior line of Life Fitness The gym started out many years ago with. the original Large blue machines, sure they had chains and a lot of friction. I could get better workouts with them. I was much younger then and could train so intensely that when I finished I would be in a cold sweat and had to sit with my head between my knees until I could get dressed to leave the gym.All in a period of about 30 minutes.
Big fan of Nautilus, Arthur Jones, Jim Flanagan ,Mike Mentzer,John Little and you Lawrence

Selling Supplements at Your Studio?
I don’t often come across this topic, but when I do, I always advise studio owners against selling supplements. The first reason is that an upscale business charging premium rates should maintain a polished and professional image. Selling supplements can come across as a cheap upsell, potentially undermining your brand’s exclusivity. Second, even if every client purchased your products, the additional revenue would likely amount to only a few hundred dollars—not enough to make a meaningful impact on your overall profits. Instead, focusing on attracting just one or two more clients would have a much greater effect on your bottom line. Years ago, a supplement company approached me with a business proposal. My agent and publisher warned me that many companies would try to capitalize on the press I was receiving. Before making any decisions, I tested the products by giving them away for FREE to my clients in exchange for feedback. The reviews were overwhelmingly positive, and I ultimately partnered with the company. However, I kept this business entirely separate from my studio to maintain clear boundaries. If you’re considering selling supplements, I strongly recommend running it as a separate venture rather than integrating it into your high-intensity training (HIT) business. Keeping the two separate will help preserve your studio’s reputation and ensure a more focused, professional client experience. Want to take your HIT Business to the next level? Reach out to Lawrence for more information about my coaching program.

I agree although I am not big on supplements if you eat a well balanced diet. I think El.Darden pointed this out many years ago! Our bodies can only use so much of certain vitamins and minerals and any excess is secretly out as waste!This also applies to protein! So if you can't use it why would you want to take it.Same as too much exercise is counterproductive!
