Landlord Approval

More good news.

The land owner has approved the major expenses related to the buildout for the gym. What this means is the only thing that could stop the gym from developing is a lack of community support.

We currently have approx. 80 Founding Member pledges. The gym requires 100 Founding Members to open. We basically have until early March to secure these Memberships or the lease agreeement with the landlord will expire.

We need your help. Please sign yourself up for a Founding Membership , and once you do, gather up two of your friends and get them signed up too. We're not asking for any money until the gym opens, and Founding Members receive much discounted memberships rates that will never increase, as well as discounts on Asana and Evolve gear. Plus, Founding Members insure that this gym will be built. We guarantee you'll be continually impressed with the gym once it opens.

Give us a post! Let us know you're out there!

Last weekend Dustin, the owner of The Front in SLC, flew out to meet with the land owner and his general contractor for specific buildout requirements. It was a very productive meeting and we have hopes to have final costs for these buildouts by the end of next week. Luckily, the buildout needs are quite simple since we are going to have somewhere in the range of 100 linear feet of sick bouldering.

Vertical Solutions, our wall manufacturer, has committed build time for sometime in April or May for transporting the tradeshow walls up to Boise and building the transitions. We're trying to decide on whether we should put on a concrete finish, or keep the unique "woody" look The Front is known for. Thoughts?

Everyday we're making progress towards the creation of this gym. We're convinced we've flushed out the major costs, found a great location, and have a very exciting wall design. What's left is your support. In today's tough economic climate, we can't sign a lease until we have 100 Founding Members. Founding Members receive exceptional pricing on memberships, and the pricing will never change as long as the membership is active. Better yet, Founding Members help bring this gym to fruition. A small price to pay for such a great community addition. Please request membership documentation, and join. We have until March 15th to gather the needed Founding Members.

Projected Opening Date: June 1st

Lisa Rands Testimonial

I had a lot of fun competing on the walls at the Summer Trade Show Comp. the walls were nice and tall with diverse angles from vertical to roof. If the walls were coming to my hometown, I'd be psyched!
