Description:
Take a minute and think about where you came from. You come from the place that most men still idealize. Maybe you played football, baseball, basketball, wrestled or soccer. (URL removed) do remember the world you graduated from.
We were a part of something bigger than (URL removed) was an environment that promoted teamwork in achieving common goals. We all remember those days, right down to the distinct smell of the weight room, which typically was a room off the basketball courts that the coach setup with donated benches and 5,000 pounds of free weights. Those were the days!
Athletic Nation is a no frills, hardcore men's training gym. We are all about getting you back in the game. For many of our members, it's been a life changing experience. A transformation from an over weight, out of shape, zero energy, home hermit to a slim, ripped, high energy man who is fully reengaged in life.
We are much more than a workout gym... Athletic Nation is about living a healthy athletic lifestyle. It starts with our 90 day high intensity training program, but ultimately it's about getting you back in the game. Giving you back that wonderful competitive spirit that makes men men.
That said, I am looking for individuals who share this mindset and want to be not only members, but also owners. That could mean absentee owners, semi-absentee, or even owner/operators. There is a huge market for this concept. It just needs to be captured correctly. And I think our approach is pretty close to that.
