Appreciation Day

Today is ONE day before we officially open for Business and We would like to thank some people who have helped get us started as well as helped me to grow my personal training business at Golds Gym, despite some inhibition and resistance of a few "incumbents"....

We would like to thank Ron Layman for his ABSOLUTE Selflessness in helping us (MORE LIKE DOING IT WITH MY INEXPERIENCED HELP) put up our bathroom partitions so that we didn't have to have it "prison style" in our locker room.....We are exceptionally grateful and very much owe you a HUGE amount of thanks for your time, hard work and effort to be away from your family while you helped us, as well as work your full time job. He helped us on Sat, Sun, whatever day was needed to get the job done, and we don't know what we would have done without him. Thanks Ron!!!

Second, we want to thank Paul Silvestri for building our 2 Fort Knox Olympic Lifting Platforms which have proven to be HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL, VERSATILE, AND INDESTRUCTIBLE for our uses, REGARDLESS OF SOME "HAS BEENS" ARROGANT DEROGATORY CRITIQUE......

Pauly also built our 7 Plyo Boxes for us as well. (2) 12", (2) 18", (2) 24" AND (1) 30" Box. We thank you immensely Pauly as we know you get up before the crack of dawn everyday to open Golds Gym Bozeman.

I also want to thank Toby Beck, my BIG BRO from anotha motha, for helping me get my training business off the ground at Golds Gym as I could not have done it without your support and referrals.

We want to thank our Brother-in-law Mike for putting our speakers up, hooking up our sound system, fixing Lisa's computer, putting our sign up on a 45 degree pitched metal roof in 90 degree weather (I would have fallen off and left a crater).....Mike is the best Fly fishing guide, cook, hunter, and pretty much "jack of all trades" we have encountered out here in Bozeman.

We want to thank Lisa's sister, Karen for all her help and advice she has given us and continues to give. Also, for referring us to the best creative design and marketing team known to man... Kietra Nelson and the Classic Ink team, Yarrow Kraner and Chisel Industries team as well as Ole Nelson with Media Station. We thank all of you immensely for your hard work and awesome vision.

I want to thank Keith Hamburg, the owner of Golds Gym as well ,as he also very much contributed to helping me grow my business at Golds. I look forward to continuing to train you and Kristin at PowerUp & CrossFit Bozeman.

Lisa and I Thank all of you who have helped us move heavy equipment, put things together, paint, build, as well as give us marketing ideas, etc. Additionally, Bret and Lauren have been supportive, good friends and have also helped with some of our IT issues.

Most importantly we would like to thank our Parents and Grandparents for giving us the "blue prints" and intangibles such as patience, desire, enthusiasm, determination, perseverance, passion, toughness, discipline, and love in order to be successful and overcome the adversity we encountered from the first day we moved to Bozeman in August 07. Thanks JP at "Globo Gym", things happen for a reason buddy.....
THANK YOU!! WE LOVE YOU ALL!! ONWARD & UPWARD WE GO!!!!!!
