Story Told by Kru Brooks Miller

All I can say is “WOW!” The new facility is great!
I did not have the chance to volunteer during the build and move as it was the holiday season and my wife and I were entertaining family that was visiting from out of town, so I had no idea what to expect when I pulled up out front for the very first time. I remembered what the original plans had been when we first began planning this relocation, but I also remember that these plans had fallen through.

When I first arrived and saw the front of the gym, all I could think was, “Wow… this is small.” After parking and walking in the front door, I was immediately impressed with the lobby. It was very nicely laid out… ‘simple elegance’ comes to mind. The training area looked to be a decent size, but considering the amount of mat space the gym originally had at our previous location, I was a bit dubious whether or not this would be suitable to our needs.

Then I noticed the doorway, which opened into another set of rooms, each with matted floor space and training equipment! At present, there are two large matted training rooms, and a third room for weights and exercise equipment. There are also bathrooms, a storage area, and an office.

Even better, the gym is expected to expand into the location that is currently next door at the beginning of this next month. The shop located right next door will be vacating soon, and we are expected to take over that area as well. That means we will have room for a boxing ring, a partial MMA cage, and a variety of hanging training bags, such as heavy bags and speed bags! I am especially anxious to expand into this new training area as many of the classes and skills that I hope to teach will be best suited to the way this room will be equipped.

It’s great to have a home for the gym again!
