Probably won't see profit, ever. Gyms are a money sink due to the startup costs and space requirements.
Very few 'underground' gyms are themselves profitable. They might make cash off their name or the programming/training/etc the owner sells, but the actual space is typically not a money earner.

This is what I figured as I am now running numbers trying to allot for depreciation and broken equipment.
I guess homegym masterrace it is.

A friend of my father had a gym (it's also where I started working out). It was pretty small, just four rooms in his basement. The equipment was old and the people who went there were mostly actual body builders. It was pretty neat, everybody knew the regulars by name, super helpful and friendly environment. I never asked how much money the owner made with the gym, but I guess it didn't matter, it was mostly a hobby and everybody who went there helped out whenever they could.
Anyway, the place was...

Sup /fit/, thinking about starting up MMA pretty soon, what say you?
Any tips for beginners before I start up?
try not to barf on any girls
>>35701800
Learn grappling and striking techniques. Chin low and hands in front. Be aware of foot placement. You know, common things. Which you probably know seeing as youre wanting to get into it.
You don't just 'start mma'. Find a school of martial arts that you're interested in, and start there. Work your way up the belts before you even consider competing against someone.

Looks big but at the same time not muscular.
Mirin chest hair
Been seeing alot more skinny beta boys in the gym recently and I don't think they are January resolutioners because this started happening before November. Some of them look like your average basement dweller physique with absolutely horrible genetics and skinnyfat bodies. Anybody else notice skinny dude infux in your gyms?
I live in the second fattest state in America.
My gym is full of fatties going 2.1 speed on treadmills and using machines on the lowest weight.
And the faggot doing curls at the squat rack.

Who gives a fuck? They pay the same membership fees as you do.

Hey /fit/, what is the key to losing bf %?

Lose weight: eat less, move more. for a period of time > a month
Want money: buy low, sell high. stock market is prime to buy up cheap stocks

Hey /fit. Trying to get my chubby ass into shape and I've always responded well to negative reinforcement.
Looking for advice on potential punishments for when I cheat or otherwise fail to adhere to my workout schedule and diet.
Well, killing yourself would be a good punishment. Or you could kill the fat, my little cherubim.
You know you want to be punished you dirty whore

Spank me daddy
/fit/, am 135 lb manlet. Need advice on an oblique routine. Everything I've tried either doesn't feel like it really targets that shit, or looks really fucking stupid. Want cut obs, don't want to be social outcast while doing it. What do?
Pic related, it's me.
Also r8 while I'm here, I guess.
Bench 245
Squat 315
Deadlift ???

Need to get fish gill like obliques
>>35701316
Thanks. It's so fucking hard finding a routine online, oblique workouts somehow fall under the category of all generic ab workouts according to Google. Infuriating. Need something that works so I figured why not ask fit.
Also self bump.
I had almost made it. i was so close. then my life fell apart completely. litterally went a week without eating. no gym for 4 months. finally getting some things back together, went in for the first time since things went wrong, weighed myself, lost 20 pounds. all lifts down in weight and reps. can only afford planet fitness. am i still gonna make it /fit? i dont feel like i'm going to make it.
We're all going to make it

their lifting is ugly as hell. i hate their technique
>>35701140
Nobody gives a fuck what you think. They are lifting your max deadlift over their head
>>35701140
You mean their excellent technique and extremely impressive weights?
They are lifting weight you could only dream of doing brah. And their little asian hotties are worth watching the videos.
basically im sick and tired of the same old chicken and pasta/rice everyday so im looking for more food that can give me roughly the same amount of calories and protein. my normal daily meals consist of porridge chicken 2 breasts for lunch then chicken and pasta or rice for dinner, so any suggestions on mixing it up a little
>>35701117
try shrimp if it's affordable where you live
>>35701213
i dont like it on its own is there anything healthy i can mix it with?
Sardinesssssssss
Why does a healthy, high protein diet have to be so joyless?
Don't get me wrong, it's obviously doable and not totally unbearable, but as far as I can manage, getting enough protein without over-eating fats and carbs either involves a) sticking to a rotating handful of recipes, most of which are probably so-so and would taste better if they hadn't been modified for health purposes, or b) eating a small amount of whatever you feel like and rounding it off with a gross protein shake. And protein shakes are gross, always, because protein powder is gross. If...

of course it sucks you fucking idiot everything sucks but it's easier to deal with if you're stronger
>>35701095
Plain protein powder tastes kinda like milk with a little cheese in it to me, don't think it's gross.
>>35701110
>I'm so strong my tastebuds have stopped working!
Ex-skellington here, been going for a year now, I've started to notice positive changes.
However, I have this slight crease where my pecs connect to the shoulder, between the armpit and the nipple, pic related. I'd share a real pic but my phone is shit.
Is this normal and will it smooth out? /fit/ dudes I've seen don't have this crease.
>>35701091
Its probably a faint amount of fat
The only way to get rid of it would be a tedious cut
Don't bother
>>35701113
I see, a real cut is still a long way away for me, gotta keep growing for now.
>>35701091
It's completely normal.
