Strongman Boot Camp
Like I said in my journal, I'm setting up my own strongman boot camp to kick off my training business. So far I have a flipping tire, sledgehammer, dragging sled, I'm making 3 bulgarian training bags tomorrow, and an adjustable sandbag. I'll also be calling a couple liquor stores to see if I can't nab a couple empty kegs.
What I need from you guys are some ideas for a name and possibly some more equipment I might need.

Just a quick update here, I spoke to a good friend of mine who is the Wellness Director for the local rec commission and we're trying to work out a deal where I can do my strongman boot camp through the rec as well as do some clinics on how to train with odd objects and how to make some of your own equipment.

I'm freaking STOKED about the possibility of doing it. I have 0 budget to market myself so having someone that is going to promote for me will be great. Plus it gives me a facility to work in and not just my backyard. I'll also have access to their TRX stuff. It's the same thing as blast straps, just fancier. It's a hell of a way to add variety to a workout though.

Ok guys. I really need some ideas for a name for this thing. I was thinking about calling it 'Every Man a STRONGMAN' but now I'm not sure. We're going to get the advertising for this going in the the next week or so.

OK - So you have a site, you have some starter training equipment, and I do like the name - Every Man IS a Strongman!
As far as marketing - hit the boards - as you already are. How about researching all gyms and training facilities in your area and a 50 mile radius. Find as many email addresses as you can, create a database, and do some email blasts. You are not so much competing with them, but offering something that they do not offer. Hit Facebook - Create a Group - do a daily training tip! I get email blasts from 3 different training websites each week - Lee Howard is one of them off the top of my head. I saw you got something on Facebook today with that really cool picture f the guy doing hypers in chains ( thought it was you!) I don't do MySpace anymore - but check that out. See if Troy can work up a cool logo for you, and create a website - I use Wetpaint.com with my students in all the classes that I teach. Its clean, and simple to use. There are ads in them, but eventually, when you get some cash, maybe you can pay an annual subscription fee to have the ads removed. I'd be happy to work off line with you if you like. Ask Kyle about the NAS organization in your area - perhaps you can get hooked in with them on Strongmen membership ? Hope you got an idea or so - Lots of luck!!!!! Amy

First day of the program is March 1st. I'm starting to get nervous and there is still 3 weeks to go. I think at the end of spring/beginning of summer we're actually going to have a small strongman contest. It won't be sanctioned or anything, just something for the locals to come out and have fun with.
