As it turns out, the zoning issue is apparently a non-issue. A gym is classified as an “indoor amusement” in zoning lingo, and as such is actually permitted under the existing zoning in the area. So, a bit of misdirection and a couple of weeks later, things are back on track. Hopefully with that out of the way, we can bump up the opening date a little sooner.
We got our first delivery of equipment from Rogue last week, and it’s currently sitting in our garage. Well… not quite all of it. Some of the toys have somehow made their way into our basement until the gym opens up. Seriously, who wouldn’t want a crash mat in their basement?
More equipment will be arriving in the coming weeks. If there is anyone out there who has the use of a pickup, and with an afternoon to spare some time in November, let me know. The equipment in our garage will have to be shuttled over to the gym location once we get possession. Food and adult refreshments are on me.
Now for a first look at the empty box that will be the gym.
Yep, that is actually the colour it is painted. I was thinking of leaving it pink. Thoughts? Maybe we can paint the pull-up rig a nice lavender colour.
Man, that is so gonna clash with my post-WOD skin tone.
Hi,
I have a couple of friends doing Crossfit in Winnipeg and Saskatoon – this is something I would like to get involved with, community training with team encouragement environment. Where’s your space gonna be? Let’s chat!
I always liked when you coached in your pink tights. So this is fitting.
Keep posting pics and can’t wait for pics of some wod’s.
good luck and I will be sure to drop in for a wod (after the moving of equipment is done of course)
All the best buddy.
Ah, there’s the heckling. Yes, let me know when you’re passing through town, and you’re welcome to drop in.
And just to be clear, I’m not actually keeping the gym pink. It really is atrocious, and more so in person.
