2.5 weeks out from GPC states, the Sheiko team had their skills test day.
Keep in mind they are entering this lifting session very fatigued, and they numbers should all rise once they fully recover by GPC states on March 31st.
Rickys lifting was very impressive with a 30kg squat PB, 10kg bench PB, and 20kg deadlift PB

It's been a very long day, but everything is finally shifted and set up at our new premises; 352 Melton Rd, Northgate.
A huge thanks to Loz, Dan, Alex O and Stephen for helping me shift all the gear. It took 6 hours to shift everything, and a further 2 to get 90% set up.
We had Alex Z, Steve, Damo and Michelle do some serious lifting, a few others popped in and just did bits and pieces.
The new place is looking good, but want to finish adding the last few bits of equpment to the shed before I put up some pics.
In the coming days we will be adding
A mono lift
9m2 competition platform
Another 2.4x2.4 Olympic lifting platform
Dedicated 2.5x5m carpeted or matted KB complex area
As well as building some walls in our office for change rooms ect, and one in the gym to separate the warm up room from the competition.
Then by months end should have added all of Marc's strongman gear
Yoke
Farmers Handles + attachemnets to make frame
Iron Mind Sandbag
8 kegs
Stones starting at 152kg - 194kg (will have to make some lighter ones)
Log*
Axle
Will try and buy a monster dumbel that is currently not in use. It weighs 82kg loaded with sand, has 2 1/2 handle.*
Maybe car deadlift frame
Still to be added over the next 6-12 months
DB to 60kg in 5kg jumps.
2 more flat benches
Adjustable incline bench
Texas squat bar
Another weightlifting bar
Few more power bars
Another bumper toaster with 150kg bumpers
And more rubber weight.
Once that's all done and dusted, I'll be a VERY happy man.

Moved most of the stuff into the new place.....
Still waiting on platforms for the stones, more stones, more kegs.
Next bit of equipment is a Texas squat bar, new kitchen, build changerooms in the office........... That will do us for a while I think.

Been pretty busy with the move/comp/new lifters to update this as much as I'd like.
As most know, we dont shut on holidays. Squat day is always squat day.
The gym was packed on good friday, and again on monday, it was great to see.
Moving 5mins out of the city was the best thing we could have done for the gym. We have almost tripled out space, and are picking up new lifters every week.
Add to that we now own QLD's only monolift, things are going well.
Ill try and update this more regularly from now on.

I'm curious, does this actually bring members in the door? Do people seek them out?

I didn't purchase the monolift to get members in the door, I purchased it to build the best gym in QLD.
People that come through the door care about proximity/equipment/atmosphere/current members.
You'd be daft to think buying a single peice of equipment will attract many new members. Out of the whole of brisbane I could count on one hand the people that NEEED a mono. Even if they all joined, their memberships wouldn't cover the cost.

Sorry thats just the way I read it when combined with the line before it about picking up new lifters.
