This is very impressive.

Fantastic!

Any rough ideas of where the first five locations might be?

[Mark Rippetoe]

Major metropolitan areas, the first three probably in Texas.

[Budgie Smuggler]

Excellent, I can only imagine the amount of work that has already gone into this.

Is this something that you’d be willing to franchise outside of the US?

[Mark Rippetoe]

That is our intent, when the numbers are there.

Cool stuff. Hope to see one in the Phoenix area one day.

... If Joyce Luke's place is going to be ground zero numero uno, I think I might need to schedule a drive through Austin to get my T-Shirt updated. Can't go around with out of date shirts. It's just not Christian.

Should work fine. I can't walk down the street without tripping over a boutique fitness joint around my neighborhood - there's certainly demand for high-end fitness, and having one around that isn't total BS would be nice.

Great stuff. I look forward to the first one down here in Australia!
