"for our masochistic trainees" Truer words have never been spoken Also, this gym is a work of art! Perfect use of the available area and functional and aesthetically clean equipment.
Knowing what I know now and having gone through the program myself I wouldn’t hesitate to join one of these gyms were it not for the fact I have my own equipment and I’ve learned the lifts pretty well on my own. Well worth whatever they are charging. The mileage I got from reading the blue book and watching the starting strength content on RU-vid was pretty astonishing on its own. Having access to a coach and being a novice would be a game changer.
I've been doing SS in Boston for 6 weeks now. My first time ever doing this type of exercise, and I plan to continue. I appreciate this detailed description of the SS gym facilities and technology. I wish I'd seen it sooner, lol. I have only one complaint about this video. Please don't advertise your political beliefs (i.e., the T-shirt) if you want to attract new clients. This practice is for everyone.
@@willnill7946 Nope. Not enraged. I'm too old to get enraged (75 yrs). Also not sure why you think I don't like the shirt. I was offering marketing advice.
Got diagnosed with severe osteoporosis and discovered this channel researching about exercise. This is really amazing, however, I do not have such a great gym in my area. :( So I am looking to use my own body weight and then household objects to workout with....
Can anyone tell me how much an SSC gets paid each year? It’s my understanding the gym owner pays him a salary and it’s not commission based on the amount of clients.
@@xmoogoox I appreciate you answering my question. Can you tell me how many members most gyms have? From what I’ve looked up it seems most gyms charge around $315 per month. Is that still the case?
@@nickt3169 no problem. Gyms charge between $315-455/month depending on the city. Most gyms cap out at around 100 in-person members (depends on the number of racks) plus a couple dozen online members.
@@jd0879 Not quite that much on the top end because most coaches are working low 30-ish hours per week. There are coaches getting close to six figures with ~30 hours in the gym plus online coaching. A high quality experience requires high quality people and high quality people must have real earning potential to keep them around. Check out an upcoming interview I did with Michael Jones and another one with Jordan Burnett. These guys LOVE their jobs and are grateful they can earn a real living. Luckily we figured out the right blend of incentives between member/coach/franchisee - a tricky balance to get right.
@@xmoogoox , thank you sir . We have no starting strength gyms in Las Vegas and it would be nice to have one here ..🙏we have had a population explosion here and I think a starting strength gym would be fantastic and do well… I can see the T -shirt now … “Starting Strength Las Vegas ..😂
I wonder when rip is going to realize men prefer to be lean not because of abs(although it's a bonus) but because of facial aesthetics and muscle separartion. Girls care more about a nice jawline and noticable cheekbones than you squatting 700 at 240 pounds being a 5'8 moonface.
The SS brand would appeal to more people and grow faster if it werent for political BS being thrown in. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but a defund the ATF shirt on a representative from the company will turn off alot of people. If a company rep wore a F*ck trump shirt would you want to train there?
@@Francesco-cj3oi I train for strength, politics has nothing to do with it which is the whole point of my comment. Any business would benefit from staying A-political and focusing instead on what they offer the customer. Politics has become far too polarizing.
