Recent Changes in the Gym

I thought it was time for a brief update on a few things we have done recently to respond to requests from customers and otherwise make a few small improvements to the gym:
  • Large campus rungs: the small and medium rungs now have their big brothers to keep them company. Metolius finally got the large size rungs in stock, and Clint installed them today. These are the ones that regular people can actually hang onto!
  • Locks for rent: by popular demand, we now rent out locks to use on the day lockers in the change rooms, for $1/day
  • Chalk bags for rent: also by popular demand, instead of loaning out whatever chalk bags happen to be in the lost & found (without chalk), we now will rent you a chalk bag with a chalk ball in it for your use in the gym, for $2/day
  • Chalk bags for sale: we got a bunch of Flashed Weave bags (made of hemp), for sale for $17 including HST.
  • Adjustable dumbbells in the training area: a few weeks ago we added a pair of Bowflex adjustable dumbbells. These are adjustable from 5 pounds each up to 52.5 pounds. The adjustment mechanism is both really cool and a little fragile, so please be careful setting them back gently into their cradle. They have gotten jammed a few times, but Clint has gotten them working again each time.
The addition of chalk bags to our retail inventory is a good opportunity to let everyone know all the things we have for sale at the front desk. We have not done a great job of advertising what we have for sale, because we haven't yet figured out a good way to put it all on display, and other things have taken priority so far. We don't mean to keep all this a secret! In any event, we have the following items for sale:

Edible:
  • pop, vitamin water, iced tea, Powerade, Simply juices: $2
  • Odwalla fruit juices/smoothies: $3.50
  • chocolate bars (Coffee Crisp, Kit Kat, Crunchie, Smarties): $1.50
  • Clif bars: $2

Inedible:
  • climbing tape: $3.50
  • chalk balls: $5
  • TNCI water bottles: $15
  • Flashed Weave chalk bags: $17
  • TNCI T shirts: $20
  • bandaids: free!
All the above prices include the HST

  1. I think you guys could put up some grid wire on the side of desk facing the garage door. That way you guys can hang up the chalk bags, water bottles etc to advertise and since its wire, it won't obstruct the view and you could use spare biners to hang the inventory.

  2. That is great news about the weights. Tell me, will you be renting out muscles so I can actually use the weights?

  3. Start off easy and work your way up, just like climbing!
