Anyone ever been?

Looks pretty informative and to train at that place would be pretty bad ass. Cool that they donate proceeds to make a wish foundation as well. I would like to do it, but timing won't allow it.

Wow...that's a helluva lineup they have presenting over there. Do they have these often and are they always in Ohio?

The elitefts compound looks like heaven to me. I know they're based out of Ohio and do seminars at other gyms but I doubt the lineup will be as full.

They do this at least once a year and so far they have always been in Ohio as that is where the compound is.

I can't think of too many places that would be able to do what they do for this seminar. Dave just has so many pieces of equipment. I just can't see duplicating the experience. I know there are a lot of well equipped gyms, but Elite is the equipment distributor. I've only been out 3 times, but I can't wait to get out there again soon. I may try to get the money together for the seminar as well, especially since it is a good cause.

breck: thanks for starting this thread!

We are actually doing these twice a year and it is a great event. In addition to some of the most knowledgeable speakers in the industry, you get the best coaching possible. We only do these at our facility in London, Ohio because where else can you have three monolifts lined up and a hand-picked coaching staff with pro-qualifying totals and impeccable coaching skills to guide you through the lifts? We will typically have groups of 6-8 lifters with three coaches assisting them. You get to know these guys, go home with new PRs under your belt, and make the best gains of your life. Everyone there is very approachable. You can sit down with them over lunch and hit them with questions or just enjoy some great gym stories.

There is a PDF file on this page which lists the details of the event and qualifications of each of the speakers and coaches.

Best of all, all of the proceeds from this event go to The Make-A-Wish Foundation and I have personally met some of the kids that have benefited from this. Imagine a 4-5 year old little girl that has gone through more rough crap than three of us have had to deal with in our lives. It feels amazing to take a part in doing something to make their lives hopeful and give them some simple thing to be happy about.

If you have any questions, feel free to send them to me at: scolescott@ elitefts.com

Awesome Steve! When will the next one be? Late spring would be perfect..

[Doberman]

Thanks Steve for posting. I was hoping you'd see this. Hope to see the crew in October.

breck,

We don't plan beyond the one a month away. The game plan is to do one early summer and one late summer. The gym is an icebox in the winter so that doesn't work and we try to bookend the hot summer months so as not to get broiled in there.

The last event we had on Memorial Day weekend was unexpectedly hot, with 90+ degree heat and people were dripping in sweat. Not a single person complained. We went out and doubled up our sports drink allotment and people were having such a good time that it wasn't a big deal.

But yeah, late spring seems likely...

That would be great. I look forward to attending in the future.
