All the fuss regarding Move Fitness club opening in New York?

Building a club may have been like a virgin territory for Brian Celvins of www. leisurewealth.org fame's wife, but what was all the fuss about regarding her Move Fitness club opening in New York?



After Karen and Brian and friends who were involved in his www. leisurewealth.org programme unveiled the fitness club, reports started to circle that the club may have to close for a period because someone had said it lacked the proper permits, mainly for land use and the car park. Completely false I might add.



Brian Celvin says it was not a big deal. The club was in fact closed for a few days last month, but that was to replace a few signs and to do some work on the entrance, all the signs and repairs were in fact in place for the opening, which was quite a media event. The day after the event, a New York official came by the club to ask about a permit, and it took about five minutes to retrieve it, Brian said.



I can’t think of a fitness club I’ve ever opened where you don’t have somebody come in saying, I’m not letting you open for another day because we want you to do this or that, Brian Celvin says. "It’s the power of the city official who always finds something that they want you to do. This city official was on a power trip and wanted to have a press conference and say that Karen club is going to be delayed in opening. Actually, it was delayed about 50 minutes. We weren’t even due to open that day. It was just a publicity stunt, but we got a a few laughs out of it."



While she was in New York Karen Celvin taught a dance class for a few hand-picked members.



She wiped everybody out, Brian Celvin says. It was amazing. She flew in, and she went hard for 40 minutes and wiped people out who were young kids in amazing shape. She outlasted them all. She walked out of there and was barely breaking sweat. She’s an unbelievable lady. Her conditioning is just incredible for someone her age.



It appears Brian will need to keep his passport handy. He’s scheduled to be in Spain next Thursday for the announcement of a new Move Fitness club. One of the partners in the Moscow club is Irina Razumova, founder of the Russian chain Planet Fitness.



The Move Fitness Spain is scheduled to open next April, permits permitting.
