Hi Everyone
Elisa and I had a shock notice from the Landlord on Tuesday
evening. After we had negotiated a turn around...the Landlord
simply changed their mind. That caused the doors to close rather
unexpectedly.
Anyways...Manic never produced the income, (not in any single
month), it represented from the previous owner from literally the
very first day that we bought the gym...in spite of maintaining all
staff, keeping on the past owner as manager and doing all of the
marketing we did.
So- we are closing Manic Fitness and taking an enormous financial
loss in the process.
I will be at Manic this Sunday from roughly 11am to probably noon
or 1pm - Dave is going to be there buying equipment and a few other
folks will be there buying stuff as well.
If you have anything to pickup or want to buy something before we
hold the “clean out the gym sale” to the public...then this sunday
is your chance.
Dave is going to open up his own gym. He is terrific as you all
know and Elisa and I fully support his venture and would encourage
you all to reach out and keep in touch with him.

Also- our in house sports therapist LeMarcus- he is also terrific
and we want to support his efforts also. Here is how you can keep
in touch with him

Now - for the membership and fees questions
Elisa and I are trying to cancel everyone's payments today and over
the weekend to prevent as many headaches and reversals as possible
- I am pretty sure the majority of folks will not have any issues.
If you do - we will absolutely send a refund ASAP. Just send an
email to elisa@manictraining.com and
give a screen shot or information for the charge amount and date it
processed so we can reconcile it... include your venmo if possible.
Sending reversals directly back to the card used is probably going
to be compromised so if your card does get charged before we can
cancel everyone...or if you just got charged or if you need a
prorated credit back...just let us know and we will make it
happen.
No one needs to request a cancellation - the gym is closing! We
have to cancel everyone anyway!
So - please give us just a little time to work through this.
Memberships and reversals are just one of the things we are working
through.
Thanks Everyone.
We did NOT buy the gym for it to close!
Simply put...previous owners showed revenues that were NEVER
realized in any month of operation and memberships experienced
month over month declines inspite of keeping the same team in place
, so it was kinda doomed from the start.
Manic never once covered its own expenses and experienced month
over month membership loss ...Manic could not even maintain the
members we bought...literally as soon as we bought it.
VERY frustrating for Elisa and I.
By way of explanation: We bought 191 active members and monthly revenues of $28k-34k in April of 2025. Within six months of owning the gym, we were down to 174 members. By Dec 2025, Manic was down to 155 members.
I hope you all understand. We paid for marketing, we did giveaways, we bought T shirts, we opened up a 24 hr weight room facility, none of it produced members or even stabilized members.
Fear not...no one will be charged or left hanging as soon as we can unwind everything, we will.
Best Regards
Christian and Elisa Ramsey
