00:00Yes, Dan and I's promise is pure reinvestment for the next couple of years, so any money
00:05we make, we promise to reinvest back into the gym. We want this to be the best gym in
00:08the area. I think it's what Paddlewood's been missing for ages in the surrounding areas.
00:11So we're also looking to sponsor the local football clubs, sports clubs, athletics clubs,
00:16so we're in a lot of conversation with those.
00:18So on the 6th we opened, we had quite a big reception. Dan and I were very shocked at
00:24the amount of members walking through the door. The community feedback's been fantastic,
00:28so as I said before, our classes started this week and we've had amazing feedback,
00:32so we've had nothing but support from the community, which has been really grateful.
00:36And yes, we're going from there. So it's all about giving back to the community for us.
00:39The gap in the market for us was something I've always wanted to fill from a young age.
00:42I think everyone in the community's asked questions of why it's not being filled, but
00:46I won't go into too much detail about that because it's been a stressful process, but
00:49yeah, we're here.
