Feb/Mar 2025 update
Time for another update on what’s happening at The Clinic. At the time of me writing this (writing is not the same as publishing) we are 9 days away from our seminar with Joel “The Wolf” Licata. I’m excited for that and looking forward to a large turnout to include some people from other gyms.
The Saturday after that (2/22) are USKA fights in Pottstown. The tickets sold out pretty quickly for that one so we decided we’ll order the online stream and have a little pizza party here at the gym. So hopefully you’re following our social media so you can get all of the details for that. The fights start at 7pm that Saturday, so if you’re here by then you’ll be good. I just want to stress that we’ll buy the fights so you all can bring money to chip in for pizzas and bring drinks. We’ll also have all of the tables, silverware, etc.
The next thing that I need to accomplish is changing the day class time. It is going to move one hour earlier to 7am to see if I can increase daytime attendance and possibly sign new members who can only attend a daytime class. I imagine that will change right around the beginning of March. I need to figure out a few more things before I make that change.
I still haven’t lost sight of starting a fight team. That’s something I’m super excited and passionate about, but I have to ensure I can manage all of the scheduling. What I will do in the meantime is slowly start releasing fitness exercises I expect all fighters to be doing. This way those who want to fight can start preparing their bodies for the rigors of fighting. I’ll give you hints, it’s a lot of cardio and core work.
The last goal of ours (for now) is something for kids. I want to be clear that this is probably still more of a long term goal than short term, but I wanted to express in writing that it is something we want to make happen. I just have some other hurdles to clear first—mainly growing the current business model further so I have the capital to start hiring coaches. Because I’m currently stretched too thin to start teaching a kids program on top of everything else. But my goal is to start a simple Saturday morning kids program sometime before 2025 ends.
