Looks great! Target open date?
Here it is our first official post: Starting Strength San Antonio
If you are already on our mailing list this will not really be news to you but we have signed a lease and are engaged with a general contractor. Our buildout will begin on Aug 2nd. Our official address is:
19739 IH-10 West, Suite 102,San Antonio, TX 78256
Pre-sales will be announced VERY soon so stay tuned!
Here is a sneak peak of our floor layout:

Taget open date is unofficially October 25th. Once we get a construction permit we can tighten that date down and launch pre-sales.
We started some demo work this past week and have ordered all of our long lead time things. But this is a COMPLETELY empty shell to start. It's a first gen building so we will be the very first tenants. That means we are responsible for literally everything: electricity wiring, AC unit, hell even the walls we have to put up ourselves. Luckily our architects have been hard at work behind the scenes for months now (or at least what feels like months).
As usual still waiting on the beurocratic process to complete. Our GC has done all they can until the construction permits get released. They are waiting to close up the walls they framed and fill in the concrete trench they dug for the plumbing presently.
Once we get that little piece of paper that says we can move on we will announce the pre-sale going live. This is where you can both lock in the time you want to train AND lock in a discounted membership INDEFINITELY (while your membership remains active).
Stay tuned!
Alright alright! We finally got the City of San Antonio to release the construction permit. I'll be following up with the GC to nail down that completion date but it looks like there are no further major hurdles to getting this project done.
I have had a number of conversations with our future gym members over the last week and a half and very much enjoy connecting with you guys. San Antonio here we come!
Here we go!!!! The gym will be open for intros starting on the 20th of November and full swing with group sessions starting on the 29th.
Pre-sales are now live. So don't miss your chance to snag a discounted rate at the gym and your first pick of training time slots. We had 4 sign ups within the first 10min of going live.

This is the portion of the buildout where things finally start to get exciting. The rolled rubber floor is now down and the platform construction will begin on Tuesday. We had to push it back a couple days so that we could float and level the entire training floor. Having a perfectly flat and level floor is absolutely critical to building a gym.
Our Head Coach, Victoria Diaz, also put out a video this past week on the deadlift. Check it out:
