Took the plunge as in my area (Wirral) all of the strongman kit in pretty much every gym has either been sold off, left to rot or the area for doing the work has been replaced with machines.

So renting a 1000sq ft unit and have:

2 x deadlift platforms built by my own fair hands (they look amazing if I do say so myself)
1 x power cage with monolift attachment (built by my welder buddy Andy)
2 benches
Brand new dumbbells upto 40kg... adding more next month
120kg of Primal Strength bumper plates
400kg of cast iron plates (within 0.5% of tolerance)
1 x texas deadlift bar
1 x Primal Strength Heavy bar
2 other bars a bit cheaper but good for benching and non specific work
1 x WER football bar (goddamn love this)
1 x WER curl bar
1 x Lat Pulldown multi functional thingy

Also have stones from 40kg to 205kg, a yoke, farmers and prowler. Probably some other kit I'm forgetting no doubt.

So far so good. Looking to open on 1st July. Been a lot of graft getting to this stage.

Facebook page is up haha.

Will be getting some tyres in but still working out space requirements. We do have plenty of run outside but just other priorities.

Paid for targeted Facebook advertisement has been incredibly successful for the company I work for. The cost per acquisition is very low relative to other media. We've found it needs to be offer led with some kind of urgency attached but when done properly really works wonders. I'd highly recommend using that as you count down towards launch day.
