But you are right. You must be willing to sacrifice everything. But opening a gym has been a dream since I was 14.

So I needed to hear this before I make this stomach turning decision and I dread the hard times that will probably come, but it is necessary for that long term success I’m sure.

Great video man. Just wanna say thanks, because during those hard times you said where you had no clients, you really really helped me out with my lifting goals way back 5 years ago (and of course still up to now). If i ever had any issues, or thought "hmm is this form right?" or something, your videos were, and still are, my go to. so thanks a lot for those, for continuing to make great videos, im sure you've helped loads of others like me. Also, the advice at the end is great for all future business owners i think! haha

From one business owner to another, congratulations, both on the anniversary and the business. Great story, a lot of truth and reality.

You help, teach and motivate people. Thank you

Dude...you are so inspiring. This gives me motivation to continue on my journey out of debt. Much respect brother. You are truly a self-made man.

I wasn’t expecting to hear that good of a speech out of this channel. I come here to get advice on how to lift and push and whatever and I’ve never been disappointed or confused but this video took it to whole new level. You may have no idea how many people you may have inspired, lifted (no pun intended) and helped. You are an amazing dude brother. All the best in future endeavours. Wishing you all the health, wealth and best of everything else and many more years to come. Live untamed my brother.

you are so inspiring, i don't follow many fitness shows but yours has been one of them for YEARS. Thank you so much for your style, your determination, and your STRENGTH! We're lucky that you chose to share it with the world.

Alan you are such a strong dude not just physically but mentally to do this. I'm so happy for your success and wish you more success in the future!

I remember I started watching your KZread videos 3 years ago and thought to myself "damn, I wish this guy had more views so he could make more KZread moneys". I'm so genuinely happy that good things happen to hard working people. Love your channel and thanks for the inspiration and tips over the years! Will always Train Untamed!

Congratulations, Alan. And Happy Anniversary to Untamed Strength! I train at a strongman gym called The Strength Depot in Plymouth Michigan. I plan on opening my own powerlifting gym in the future, but need to save some $$. This was a great video to give me some awesome reality checks, and I appreciate that. Thank you. Keep it going, and all the best, Sir.

But they probably have a major phone bill, Netflix, $5 coffee, etc. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9 “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” Romans 3:19-20 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10

Fantastic and inspiring video. I have worked in the fitness industry previously and moved away from it after becoming incredibly disillusioned by it. It's a passion that I've never really given up on though. I have literally over the last month decided to move out of the grind of the financial industry and looking to open my own gym.

This is great Alan you’ve inspired me to open my own gym but instead of untamed strength it will be called tamed strength so that it’s not so intimidating.

Also everything will be purple so that it’s calming when clients are trying to eat the free pizza I’ll be giving away every month!
