[CharlesDMickey]

Gym Owner!?! Very cool! Are you done with school?

Where is your gym? You gotta pimp it!

[Brandon Smith]

Now that you are part owner of a gym, you need to look the part! :D

Awesome gym and theres a cool dog too.

Mesa is trash. Move to NE Phoenix. By that time there will be a gym better than Strengthworks. Trust me.

[Kevin Nee]

wow porter...are you really that much of an ass? talking crap about your training partners gym? when or if you open the gym that you have claimed to be opening for over 2 years now, i would have nothing but good things to say. maybe i should come by your house and take back the farmers, tire, and about 500 lbs of weight i have there...

[AnthonyMartucci]

Mesa is trash. Move to NE Phoenix. By that time there will be a gym better than Strengthworks. Trust me.
even if mesa is trash I have a good job lined up there. i'll bite the bullet

[Kristin Rhodes]

Personally I think it is awesome that you are part gym owner! One of these days Donnie and I will have to make it out to play! Congrats :KD:

[Kevin Nee]

dont worry mesa isnt trash...porter doesnt live there so its obviously not good enough for him though...

[Paul Rogers]

Mesa is trash. Move to NE Phoenix. By that time there will be a gym better than Strengthworks. Trust me.

Sounds like jealousy to me.

[Kevin Nee]

thank you very much...it was def a proud day!!! and ofcourse, come by anytime!!

and thanks everyone else for the kind words as well

[Zach Snyder]

congrats on the gym opening. it's nice to see the big named guys giving back to the weaker as well!

[Chris Hickson]

thank you very much...it was def a proud day!!!

and thanks everyone else for the kind words as well
good luck with that kevin nee!

[Paul Neuhaus]

I don't know if I'll ever have a reason to pass through Mesa AZ, but if I ever do I will definitely stop in for a workout.

[Scott Porter]

I could say a bunch of stuff right now but I'll take the higher road...

Maybe you should give me a call instead of discussing personal stuff over the forum???

:confused:

I don't know you yet Scott but IMHO you should have taken the high road before you blasted him the first time.

:I:

[Eric Jett]

Mesa isn't trash. Certain parts are, but that is also very true of NE Phoenix. And of pretty much any city.

And if Kevin is willing to put his name behind something, I would think it is decent. From what Brandon has told me, it is nice(not necessarily his cup of tea) and that I would like it. So, if invited, I would join Kevin down there for a workout.

Now, let's hug it out, b******.

:confused:

you are right... i really shouldnt have said that online. but as you all know i am a very passionate and emotional person, and i love my gym and i was offended. in a perfect world i should have taken a step back...taken a breathe and called you instead.

my bad

[Scott Porter]

I don't know you yet Scott but IMHO you should have taken the high road before you blasted him the first time.

:I:

Show me where I "blasted" him.

Kevin is my friend, and recently put himself in business with Strengthworks. I have my opinions about the gym, which has nothing to do with Kevin.

I wish Kevin success, but at the same time, when I get my gym up and running (and I will), the competitive spirit in me will aim to be better than Strengthworks.

And I'm sure Kevin will do the same.

[Paul Rogers]

Show me where I "blasted" him.

Nah, yall worked that out.


But dude, Kevin, only 2X on the shirts?

I think I speak for half the men on here when I say WE NEED BIGGER SHIRTS !!!!


:BB:

Mesa, Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale, whatever... It's all the same metro area. What I see is the potential for two gyms! Cool!


Good looking gym Kevin. ~ You may want to look at the prices for personal training. Your 12 month packages are listed as cheaper than your 3 months packages.

[Gags]

Kevin --Tell cesar Gags from VA said hi, used to train with him every once in a while, when he was on the east coast

---and congrats on the gym

[Paul Neuhaus]

Dang Mick, is your eye-sight going in your old age! :T:

Those are the "per month" prices. It looks to me like if you want 12 sessions per month, and only go with 3 months, it costs $649 per month which averages out to $54 per session. If you go with 12 months, it's $499 per month which averages out to $42 per session.

These rates are much less than what our gym charges, and we don't even have oly equipment in our gym!

[PeteKonradt]

Wow this thread got a little nuts.

Anyways, I went down to Arizona to see my grandmother last weekend. So I decided to make some time to train with Kevin Nee. He is part owner of the Strengthworks-Gym. I was impressed with the gym not only do they have everything you need for Strongman, Powerlifting, and Olympic Weightlifting but its top quality equipment with a no nonsense atmosphere.

It’s not just the equipment that makes the gym what it is though. It’s the people; there is Kevin for Strongman, some great Powerlifters who I didn’t have a chance to meet and an Olympic Weightlifter that actually lived at the Olympic training facility for two years. Talk about some resources!!! I am truly jealous. I have all of the equipment and some great training partners but no one of that caliber to train Olympic Weightlifting with.

It would be great to bounce ideas off of guys like that who know so much about nutrition and training. I don’t care what that gym membership costs, that kind of training is priceless!!! We got a great workout in even though Kevin jacked his knee up a little. So if you’re from the area give it a shot.

Just wanted to say thanks to Kevin Nee and Chris Souza for letting me come over and train at their gym. All the other guys to numerous to mention were great as well, thanks. By the way, I was in Mesa, Phoenix and Scottsdale and didn’t notice a bit of difference between the areas.

P.S. Don't forget to wear that Packer shirt I gave ya this Sunday. :B: :M:

[Jay Hagadorn]

Congrats on your guys' gym Kevin!

[Easton Taylor]

I cant wait to move back to Phoenix........

Uhhhh....no,,, eyes are fine. But I am becoming more and more retarded in my old age. Sorry 'bout that. :o

[Brandon Clements "BC"]

Kevin,

I am graduating from college in June and I am talking to a gym owner about going into partnership with him. I was wondering if maybe i could talk to you about how you went about it, the cost, and all that stuff. Thanks bro.

[Kimberly]

Personally I think it is awesome that you are part gym owner! One of these days Donnie and I will have to make it out to play! Congrats :KD:


:mag: You better!!! Would be great to see you guys!!

[Kimberly]

even if mesa is trash I have a good job lined up there. i'll bite the bullet


congrats on the job! Mesa is just fine...every city in every state has bad areas....I work in the ghetto of Mesa...I'll keep it safe for ya lol Phoenix is by far one of the worst so don't sweat it.

[Brandon Campbell]

haha yea brandon is def more into bodybuilding :BB: so yea its def not for him :D . i mean come on...he works out at pure fitness

but ofcourse eric, your always welcome here you should know that bro!

also for all of you that wanna check the gym out go to our wesite... www.strengthworksgym.com


LOL wouldnt say im into body building! strength works is a good no nonsense place like Pete said. I grew up all my life in no nonsense gyms and they never really made me happy. Right now i work out at three to four various places, i am more of a gym hopper i guess LOL!

I will still make occasional trips there to lift with THE KEVIN NEE though! Its boring without ya man! constantly answering questions like hey how is kevin doing? Is kevin coming back? did kevin go to worlds? hey didnt you used to train with that guy from MTV? LOL So i get asked all the questions you used to get asked!!!!! HAHAHA

Wait maybe i am a bodybuilder? I cant do any workouts unless its high rep high set high volume watchamacallits, I tried going Powerlifter style. I got weak and flabby. My body doesnt respond well to that stuff i guess.


Oh well moral of the story is, crap what was i trying say again. OH well

MILKPOWER!!!!!!!!!

HOPPER?!?!? Please...Just admit what you are...

GYM WHORE! :YT:

[Eric Jett]

Kevin, when are you usually in the gym? I'll have to swing by while I am in town.

[Kevin Nee]

if you see this in time...we are training events today at 11 and we are usually there at around 5:30 pm during the week...

[Eric Jett]

Bumped because I will be in town the 26th to the 9th and will need to get a few work outs at a place where they have people who can spot me one the assorted lifts I will be doing. However, for the first week I will be in Peoria, then back in Gilbert after that.
