Re: Pete's Place is gonna get bigger!!
Oh cmon..Tell me if it weren't your center you'd NOT be jumping up and down
A few of Pete's cardio classes - dangit I keep missing them. Get this - doing cardio while also learning STICK FIGHTING, and I DON'T mean defenses against someone coming at you with it. You've got the stick.
I cant wait to hear about the new classes they've got cooking

Re: Pete's Place is gonna get bigger!!
An updated layout of the new center was posted and I saw it last night. Holy smokes - there's also gonna be several SITUATION ROOMS! If it's what I remember, they'll be simulations where you're like at home watching TV or in bed sleeping and someone breaks into your house. I'll double check my theory at the front desk on Saturday.
Oh man, I can't wait for this place to open!

Sorry Mario - Mad Dog is most correct  A few of my KM compadres got to take a peek this past weekend. They were freaking at how big the place is. That saying on how looks can be deceiving - definitely applies here. What you see outside is NOTHING compared to the inside from what I've heard

Re: Pete's Place is gonna get bigger!!
I haven't heard yet if they'll be any gap between when he closes the old place and opens the new one. I would think there may be a gap as he and the staff will need time to move all the mats and equipment over there.
I'd give them a call Sat or Monday to see how the schedule's gonna be for next month :)

Re: Pete's Place is gonna get bigger!!
Hubby and I along with other students and instructors helped at the new center yesterday, moving stuff around, bringing equipment in from the old center. OMG - I remember Ryan saying the place was gonna be unreal. IT"S DA BOMB!! Hubby and I got a quick tour - only place we couldn't check out was the gun range as finishing touches were being worked on. Other students were checking the place out and I can tell they were as shocked as we were.
The sound system absolutely ROCKS! The rooms are gigantic, and the architect's drawing does NOT do the place justice! The new bag room - holy friggin smokes!
For you folks that have been at Pete's old place and haven't seen the new one, I promise you, YOUR JAWS ARE GONNA DROP
Pete, you DA MAN! Thank you for letting us help build the place, even if it was just a small piece!

Re: Pete's Place is gonna get bigger!!
Soft opening (per Pete) was Dec. 29th. What a great place and a great way to end '08. As one (along with MJ and her hubby) who started shortly after the old place was opened, I can honestly say I made a great decision to get involved with KM. The new place is undergoing finishing touches, and the level of excitement by students and instructors alike was awesome on the 29th. MJ was there ready to rumble.

I need to tell that to Pete!  Glad you could use the laugh!
I saw at their Pro Shop Leslie got new women's tees that have 'We love Cage Fighters'  Very appropriate with the new MMA room they've got
