Finally found a space in East Vancouver to set up a little garage gym facility.

http://www.terminalcitytraining.com/gym.html

It should be open sometime in October 2010. I have yet to take posession as they are cleaning it up. I am sharing a triple-wide industrial garage with a pre-existing computer-geek project called The Hackery. If you want a computer re-built or other electronics trouble-shooting done, they seem like the cool folks to go to.

Right now I'm number crunching and figuring out the best equipment for the initial acquisitions. Things will only be getting better and better.

The big focus will be on group training. I will start with a women's group, a group for strength & conditioning for daily life, and a group for sports performance. Women are welcome in any group by-the-way. There has been interest in women's only training so I am making it a priority. Drop me a line if you are interested in one of the groups. If there is sufficient interest then other groups will be formed. I hope to cutivate interest in an olympic-lifts group for sure.

The atmosphere and training are going to be awesome.

Check out the video below about female "strongman" competitors that I stumbled across today. I am psyched to have found a number of female clients who are getting more interested in performance and in getting strong as hell. The video will perhaps help dispel some of the myths about strength training making women bulky, "unfeminine" or whatever. Personally I think that "feminine" should mean whatever you want it to mean. Some women are able to redefine femininity and others reject the concept outright. Power to them both!

Joe Hashey at Synergy Athletics brought this video to my attention:

I'm going to have to give this one a try really soon.

Hey Terminalistes, Terminalistas, and assorted readers!

I want to make this site interesting and useful to you.

So tell me what you want and I'll try and bring it!

Email me:  terminalcitytraining@gmail.com

Now, whether you are laying on your back in mud doing some foul calisthenics or recovering between heavy sets of deadlifts, kick it!

And be glad you're doing what you're doing.

One more thing: if you dig old school strongmen and old school methods then do yourself a favour and check out the Sandow Plus site. Apart from an awesome collection of old photos the site contains scans of many vintage texts written by the Golden Age heroes of strength. I can't wait until the day when I have time to really dig into them.
