What are we waiting for??
Fair question. We’re incorporated — Highmark Training Co Inc. is a real company now — and the building permit and business licence applications are in. Behind those, months with engineers reworking a space that was never drawn for people training hard: how the floor takes a loaded barbell, how the air moves, how sound carries. The layout shifted too. Change rooms and showers now open onto the social space instead of away from it, because what happens either side of the workout is half of why people stay. What’s left sits with people who aren’t us. We’re considering writing a book. Opening A Gym 101, Chapter One: build a schedule, then double it. Which is our long way of saying we are, unfortunately, now trending to a November opening.
