Under what corporate form did you organize your gyms? Guessing probably an LLC, but I am always interested to hear about the nuts and bolts of how small businesses get started. As a related question, are the gyms two separate entities, or do they operate under the same organized entity?

This is a great story, man. So many people today look to follow a predetermined career path to be successful -- currently in my last year of law school, I'm absolutely guilty of it. Most of my buddies took a similar route in their respective fields, but one is in the process of starting his own business (as you've done), and it's fascinating to talk with him about it. While there's no "right" way of doing things, I'm always more impressed to hear stories about people taking the leap and building something from the ground up like that.

Interesting stuff. How did you determine where to first open your gym? I'd imagine that gyms are in pretty direct competition with each other and that location therefore matters a great deal.
