RBH Fitness Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 I don't think it's a case of not being 'prepared' to pay for a permit. It's more like not being able to afford one. All we're basically saying is, give us a chance to make some money and get established. Having my own studio is something I'm working towards for the future. Unfortunately I don't have £20K burning a hole in my back pocket or a bank willing to lend me it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBH Fitness Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Ok then guys. After thinking about this for the last few minutes I've decided what to do next. Does anyone fancy a FREE fitness class in Endcliffe Park?! Seeing as though I can't afford the licence from the council, (a licence I have to pay if I'm making money), I'll do a class for free and hopefully still raise awareness of my business. So what I'm going to do is say meet at the entrance on Rustlings road in between the tennis club and the park at 10am on Sunday 26th June. It will be a circuit training style class which is open to all fitness levels (so please don't be shy). Please be aware though officially speaking this is just a group of people meeting in a park to exercise for free. There will be no health questions, no signing of disclaimers, no first aid kit and certainly no doctor. No company will be associated with this meeting. Please tell your friends and get as many people down there as possible. If you run your own business, whether it be gardening or dog training, please feel free to join in the class and see if you can hand out your own flyers at the end. Small businesses need every bit of help they can get with advertising. Let this be some help. Ok then. So dig out your jogging pants, bring plenty of water and hopefully I'll see you there at 10am on Sunday 26th. Remember. It's FREE !!!

Unfortunately I don't have £20K burning a hole in my back pocket or a bank willing to lend me it. Parson Cross is an area that could use a fitness trainer - I'd go to your classes without hesitation. To hire the main hall at the St Thomas More Community Centre only costs £12.00 per hour. If you just want the space and a chance to build your reputation, charge the people who attend £3.00 a session, pay the room hire with your first four students and pocket the rest. Who knows, if you're good enough and prove popular, the staff may try to find funding for your class so you can be paid. Worth giving them a call. The office number is (0114) 327 9727.

Shef_Fitness Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 How mean - as this guy says, at least give it a chance. What do we have to lose by giving it at least a chance, it would offer a greater choice for fitness goers. So he made a £15 trying to get a business off the ground, I wonder how much the council jobsworth was paid who sent him the letter - I bet much more than £15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
