116 Lordship Lane is to become...

[monica]

Ant you could be right,but i had to clarify that getting a first or second shouldnt set you apart because the level of study is the same.

[templeton]

I thought the whole point in a first was that it set you apart from people with a 2:1?

[maxsharp]

Just to clarify. What I meant is that the new graduates effectively have 2 degrees. A degree in sports science / exercise physiology etc and a degree in physiotherapy. Not that they all have to have got a first (I certainly didn't).

OK I don't want this to take this thread off topic so back to the new gym on Lordship Lane...

[Mark]

Max, how big will the gym be and can you say yet what equipment will it have? will it mainly be CV or free weighs or an even mix?

[*Bob*]

Monica,

I am confused..

Did those that failed your degree course know less about the subject than you? Was the 'level of study' the same for them, even though they were mostly down the pub and not turning-up for seminars?

As new people come into the discussion they are bringing with them new thoughts and opinions, which is keeping this topic upbeat and interesting.

Mark,

There will be 3 exercise spaces. An open plan pilates studio (aprox 10 metres by 5 metres) a mattwork studio (8 metres by 5 metres) for yoga, tai chi, kids gym etc and a gym (17 metres by 12 metres). The gym will contain cv, resistance, body-weight, mattwork and stretch areas. In addition there will be a testing area for VO2 max and motion-analysis testing.

Sounds absolutely terrifying.

Max,

Thanks for the update. Forgive me if I've missed this, but what exact location are you moving into on LL? Is it the old Walsh Glazing space?

Additionally, I am a fully trained and insured massage therapist, and currently studying reflexology with the intention of going into the therapists profession full time, (currently I work 4 days as an advertising producer and practice 1 day & weekends), and was wondering if i could submit my CV to you? It would great to send to a person rather than the Camberwell practice and hope the right person reponds.

Look forward to hearing back.

Best wishes,

Jen

Hi Jen,

We're moving to 116LL (corner of Bassano st and LL). By all means send in your cv to [email protected]. That will get to me.

Best wishes,

Max

What do you think of the other centres in the area that offer the same services? (yoga,pilates,acupuncture,massage etc)

Im just being constructive as suggested by admin and MW74 and am not trying to start people off here. ED has plenty of centres, thats why I ask, a couple are on your doorstep. Not sure if im allowed to mention the places but one sells baby products downstairs and the other is located on Blackwater street.

Thank you :))

Well you can look at this in many ways.

The person with the first compared to someone with a 2:1?They have both attended the same seminars have received the same information and have had the same assignments,(i speak in reference to the same course.)The first may have had the first because his grammar was correct or the delivery of information was put in a different way to the person with a 2:1.I think its unfair to say that a first sets you apart.Hoqw about experinces in life?The skills you have develpoed once graduated.The person with the first may have not practiced,whilst the person with the 21 has graduated and practiced,gaining experience and skills.Everyone has an opinion and this is mine,better stop ranting before this becomes irrelevant to the original thread and the administrator punishes me;-)

[georgia]

Hmm well I got a 2:2 because I went out every night and had a great time. But having a 2:2 and not a first has never been an issue for me, a degree is a degree.

[Ant]

How can having a first as opposed to a 2.1 (or a 2.2 or 3rd) not set you apart? Unless it doesn't mean anything, but then why invent a meaningless distinction? A degree is awarded on more than attendence; it's not about what work you're set but the work you turn in.

Life skills and experience, yes, of course they make a difference, but that's a different point altogether.

[monica]

Well we all have an opinion and this is the place to use it.

[citizenED]

I trust new super Gym, physio centre thingy will be called MaxSharp.

Hi Karter,

I think the places you mentioned offer a specific service to a specifc client base and I also believe there is room for more than one centre. For example, I don't believe that our centre is going to put Fusion out of business. I do however believe that what we offer is sufficiently different. We have done quite a lot of market research on LL and with our existing client base. 81% of people we surveyed on LL (April 2006) told us they wanted a gym on LL. Survey group was 177 subjects.

Best wishes,

Max

[maxsharp]

It will be called es physical health (esph for short)

Monica,

Woz you 'cheated' out of a first because of some mealy-mouthed professor's demand for good grammar, syntax and spelling?!

[monica]

I must say in the most unbiased,neutral way,that mr sharp has received a lot of advertising on here today(Remember im being unbiased):))

[mockney piers]

To save this thread from lounging, can you take it here please kids?

[Ant]

Good call, Mockers.

Max - will you offer Alexander technique?

[karter]

Hi Max

I quite agree a gym is a great idea .You may even find me there (fusion suffices for now). My question was about the other services you provide and the 2 small businesses that are directly on your doorstep. Gosh, is there nobody that represents Push studios or The family Natural Health Centre above the Soup Dragon on this forum????

[maxsharp]

I'll bow out now. Please feel free to contact me directly with any more queries.

Best to all.
