Starting Strength Houston

[Mark Rippetoe]

Quick Update. Chase and I completed our first Intro sessions this morning. The gym looks amazing and the equipment is awesome. If you haven't been by to see it or signed up for a class, then come by the gym. We already have a couple classes filling up fast. We will be there off and on the rest of the week. Plus, our Grand Opening is August 24th. Rip will be there and we will be hosting a Deadlift Camp. We still have a few spots available for that but don't miss out on it. Stop by if your in the area and check it out though.

Yes, I'm coming to Houston next weekend. And if I'm driving down there, you'd better have a good place to eat lined up Friday night.

It's Houston Restaurant Week (Month) - You should be able to find just about anything.

Rip I've got a couple ideas. Looking forward to you and the WFAC crew coming down.

As Josh mentioned, August 24th is a big weekend for us.

1. Starting Strength Houston's Grand Opening is scheduled for 10am - 1pm. Join us to check out the gym, see the coaches in action, Rip's Q&A, barbeque and a Meet & Greet.

2. Deadlift Workshop is scheduled from 11am - 1pm - Rip's coaching it, so come have him yell at you as he corrects your form!

We'd love to have you out!

Hey! Signed up for the Squat and Deadlift workshops and this is my first post on the forums; looking forward to meeting y'all in person and seeing the new gym!

Shame that finally meeting Rip will be colored by him seeing me at my worst lift in terms of form. But then again, that means I have the most to gain from good correction!

The upcoming weekend sounds fantastic JD. If only Houston weren't so damn far away from Melbourne! Ha ha. Best of luck with what is sure to be a great grand opening.

The event has almost filled, 81 as of this morning. If you're coming, sign up NOW. See you there.

[J.D. Shipley]

Rip, we're at 97 as of 6pm this evening. Can we get 3+ more?

Also, we got our graphics and exterior sign up today. See pics and time-lapse attached.

I'm disappointed in your lack of commitment...

You're right JD. I need to have a good, hard look at myself!
