Why Real Gyms Don’t Look Like “Gyms”

We opened Ampersand in November 2014 with a private loan. 

The loan came from a mentor we’d asked to invest in us and our dream. After several attempts at a business plan, he finally said yes. He loaned us a fraction of what we’d asked him for and said make it work. Our loan was personally guaranteed, which means… whether you make it or not, you owe that money back. We felt like we hit the lottery, we were excited, but the risk was scary. We had to make it.

Our small budget (especially compared to what it would take to open a typical big box gym) was actually an advantage: Instead of focusing on all the fancy equipment and mirrors, we could only afford to buy the basic equipment and focused our efforts on our coaching and our community.

Since we didn’t have the means for a marketing budget, we relied on giving great coaching and the best experience possible to help spread the word about Ampersand! And that meant we had to DELIVER.

The day finally came. We got our equipment. We started painting, moving heavy flooring, and we got to work.

We made a lot of noise, we programmed fun workouts, and we got people FIT!

We’ve been open for years now, and while we’ve upgraded some equipment, you still won’t find rows of “typical” gym machines. Instead, you’ll see people doing burpees, squats, pull ups, deadlifts etc… Because that’s what actually works.

When you come to our gym, you will see a lot of open space. You may ask yourself, “Why?” or “Where are all the machines?” Results require movement and movement requires lots of space! If you want to get fit or healthy you are going to be moving a lot and it doesn’t require fancy equipment.

Everyone who comes into Ampersand has, at some point, visited or been a member at another gym. When we sit down and talk about their goals and their struggles, almost all of them say, “I enjoyed it for a while, but I just didn’t see any results.” There were lots of things that drew them to those gyms… Maybe it was the fancy machines, or the super swole guy at the front desk, or it was the cheapest option… But eventually they had to make a decision for themselves, and that was to find a coach.

Real coaches, professional coaches… the ones whose livelihood depends on getting results for their clients use things like bodyweight movements, rowers, barbells, boxes, and most importantly science based nutrition strategies. They chose what works over what’s “typical”. They adjust workouts and movements to fit each client, based on their needs and goals. 

At Ampersand we have everything you need, and nothing you don’t.

You are in and out in an hour. No wasted time, no wasted space, and lots of coaching!

We are glad we started basic and focused on results. Because the results speak for themselves. Our clients are doing well and are far more fit and healthy than they were when they were at those budget big box gyms. We may not look like a traditional “gym” but thats part of our secret. Come in and see for yourself!

The Happy Gym

CFA201805-01_websize.jpg

Now more than ever, having a great coach is the key to staying healthy during these times.

At Ampersand we get it, the world has been turned upside down due to the COVID-19 pandemic and we want you to know that we are here to put the “happy” back into your day. Our goal is to make the time you spend in the gym the best hour of your day and we have all the tools to do that!

1. Accountability - The coaches at Ampersand are here to keep you connected through constant communication to keep you moving forward to your goals. Getting your workouts in is important, but so are things like proper nutrition, rest, and managing the stress of your day! Your coach is here to keep you in the right frame of mind and avoid those emotional reaches into the pantry!

2. Personalization - There are thousands of workouts that you can choose from online. But most of them are general and not specific. We understand that everyone is different and so are your goals. Having a coach sit down and talk to you about your goals before you even step into the gym ensures that our team is doing our best to help you achieve them. We’ll make sure that you stay on track and keep nudging you back onto the right path. (Ready to schedule a goal review session? Click HERE!)

3. Flexibility - Priorities can change, especially as you navigate different phases of life, and your coaches at Ampersand are here to change with you. A good coach will adjust and adapt your program to fit your needs. In these uncertain times your coach is here to adjust as you do.

4. Creating better habits and healthy mindset - During quarantine you may have been sleeping in late, staying in your pajamas all day, struggling with your nutrition, and feeling worn down. By getting back into the gym, we can help you add structure back into your routine! Your coach can assist you with new planning tools, task and checklists, as well as introduce new ways of creating productivity and a positive mindset! Our staff checks in with our clients often to help you create the healthier lifestyle you have always wanted.

5. Community - Social connection is paramount these days. We have been isolated from people for a while and plugging into a group of likeminded people is important to your success. When you come to Ampersand you are not just a number! You are greeted by name and welcomed into our amazing community. Being happy means staying connected. In addition to regular communication about your fitness goals, we can also meet with you virtually (through phone, Zoom, or messenger) to chat or have coffee, and you’re invited to join any of our virtual and in person social events with the gym family!
