Brian, I’m so in awe of you, you’re literally almost exactly the person I want to be when I’m older (I’m 15). I’m really interested in strongman and mma/bjj and I’ve always wanted to own a gym just like yours. I recently discovered your channel and I’m so glad I did; it’s great to hear from someone that thinks just like me, keep doing what you’re doing, you’re an inspiration to many people ❤️. I hope to one day visit the US to meet you

That's a dream gym and you made it come true by yourself. Nothing more rewarding I believe. That's exactly what I am aiming to build especially that I cannot find a strongman gym hundreds of miles around my location. Strongman is all but a popular sport in France. First time I visit the US, I am paying you a visit with a French flag to add to your wall!

So my 16 year old has been working out for a year and a half and has grown significantly! Well after a year of not being able to have full access to my garage I've decided to build a gym on my property! He has decided he wanted to start incorporating strong man competition training in his workouts! Basically I just wanted to say you're an inspiration for us here. I here your in Maryland so being from Pennsylvania maybe a visit is our future! Thanks sir. Keep killing it

The pauses to make witty comments really make me laugh. A down to earth fella, who knows what he is talking about and leaves out the nonsense. Well done Brian, your videos are up there with the best of them. You deserve much more subscribers and I hope you get them.

That truly is a dream gym. I live in Miami and there is nothing like that down here, most gyms are big commercial gyms that really don't have that type of equipment. Like you said in the beginning of the video , it's always something in most of those gyms. I wanted to say thank you for taking the time to post your videos, they really are not just informative but entertaining. I have found your tips to be beneficial in my own training and in coaching. I am always searching for ways too learn and get better. There is so much information out there but some is just plain garbage, so its great to see someone busting his ass to create such a bad ass gym with a positive vibe. I may be in Maryland beginning of next year and I'd love to come meet you and see the gym, maybe even have the opportunity to train at a real gym. Anyway, just really want to say congrats on the gym and your success.

Have at least 1 years worth of living expenses saved up to survive off of before you make the jump and don't burn into it when purchasing equipment. I will not see a profit for years from now and i have been open almost 3 years. i haven't gotten a paycheck yet, so you need to be able to survive. I would also tell you to try to find other revenue streams. I'm doing that with online training and personalized programs because the gym will not make you enough money most likely. I know a lot of people have this dream and your question actually has my head rolling. I think i am going to make an entire video about this man. Hopefully it will answer a lot of your questions and will help you not make the same mistakes I have made!
