Training With Purpose

A 100 Wolves is a gym and training facility.  It brings to its members a turnkey experience, helping them move down the path of health, physical fitness and self reliance.

 We achieve this through a creative coupling of workouts intermixed with straight forward and practical self defense skills.  As well as dedicating time to the building of various life skills.  And of course, scenarios, where we can prove out and refine ourselves.

What I Need & What You Get

To open my doors I need funds...   ...65,000 of them.  This will allow me to purchase the equipment to outfit the facility, secure my lease and pay for the permitting.  And of course, cover all of the perks for you, my backers.

One of the coolest things that I am excited to do, is join in the creative process with you.  While I could go out and create my own logo, I want to you as the backers, to help me create a iconic logo for A 100 Wolves.

Along with all the various perks listed at different levels, you will also be brought along for the journey with Exclusive Digital Access of video, photos and other content over the first 3 months of the facility opening.

Who is A 100 Wolves For? What does it look like?

This short video will explain just that...

A 100 Wolves offers:

• Small (capped at 12 people) 1 Hour Group Classes throughout the day, Monday through Friday.
• A constantly changing Skill Day emphasizing practical although perhaps overlooked or forgotten skills.
• A opportunity to test out oneself on a weekly basis on Scenario Day.  Followed by a review and critique.
• The option to reserve time at the facility where you can workout and follow your own programming outside of group classes.
• Exciting and challenging group events on the weekend.  Providing objectives that emphasize reliance and communication with your peers.
• A continued practice and development of simple and practical self defense skills.
• A number of Training Events held throughout the year for non-members.

CONCEPT

The concept of A 100 Wolves came to me a couple of years ago.  I looked out into the space of physical fitness, self defense and other periphery training and saw a void.  Nothing captured what I was looking for, and most certainly not in one place.

I have had the good fortune of learning a incredible wealth of knowledge from a number of sources.  A lot of those places aren't accessible to anyone off the street.  Nor do they all fall under the same roof.  So I have set out to create my vision.  A all encompassing training facility and gym.

MEMBERSHIP

The model of a finite membership of a 100 people is unique, but with purpose.  I am a huge proponent of the exchange of value.  What A 100 Wolves sets out to do, is provide a continuous value for it's members.  So much so that it isn't a revolving door like larger gym chains.

This allows me to focus on providing the best experience and training to a smaller overall community.  Keeping group classes small and being receptive to shifts in members' needs and goals, that couldn't otherwise be achieved with larger growth models.

Recognizing there is a desire for this training beyond a 100 members, as well as geographical constraints for people wanting monthly memberships, A 100 Wolves will hold stand alone intensive courses throughout the year.

INSPIRATION

I found part of my inspiration for not only the name, but also the idea of A 100 Wolves in a audio clip played on a episode of The Survival Podcast.  It was about the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone Park and how they changed the landscape.  And they changed it be being wolves...

In my opinion, we have drifted from being the people we once were.  Societal pressures push us to move in directions that aren't inherent to us as humans.  Nobody was designed to sit at a desk for 8 hours a day...  And with that, we have on some level, lost our way.

We no longer have the level of health and fitness we once had.  We don't have the moxie and fortitude that comes with facing difficulty as the world has insulated us.  And we don't have skills and means to defend ourselves and our loved ones, as we have largely outsourced that in our lives.

And what is the cost...  Fear, which grows from a lack of confidence.

Because when we have our health, when we work towards a higher level of fitness and when we have the means and skills to defend ourselves...    ...the world opens.  Our perspective changes and we see challenges where before we saw impenetrable barriers.

A 100 Wolves is about being human.

VISION

"If you are going to dream, dream big."

There is no place that I can imagine that wouldn't benefit from having A 100 Wolves.  But right now I am living in San Luis Obispo, California, so the first one will be here.

This is only the beginning.  My vision reaches far past this one gym and I look forward to seeing them across the country.

It Starts Here...

Risks & Challenges

Standing at the edge of A 100 Wolves, it is ready for the market to decide... To reward or punish.

The pledged funds will get the doors open in the short term and allow A 100 Wolves to function. It will not however fund it in perpetuity.

With the funds you help me raise I will be able to acquire the initial equipment to outfit the facility, secure the lease and take care of the legal aspects such as insurance and permitting.

It also provides for the fulfilling of all of your rewards as backers. Both in creating, printing and shipping the physical products as well as having a fully outfitted facility in order to make good on your intensive courses.

My challenge is breathing life into this one gym so that it can grow and spread and eventually make it to your hometown...
