In this episode of the Thane & Friends podcast (Episode 55), host Thane Taylor interviews Jeromy Bryk, who has recently opened a gym called BRYKSQUAD Barbell in North Royalton, Ohio.
Jeromy shares the origin story of his gym, which started as a semi-private facility in a 1200 square foot space. He discusses his equipment selection process, emphasizing the versatility of barbells in a limited space. The decision to go semi-private was driven by the desire to create a close-knit community and have more control over the gym's environment. Jeromy also mentions the challenge of unexpected issues that arise when opening a gym.
