Day 4

​Hi! My name is Ahmed Abukwaik and I am the solo group in Start up 101 this year. Going into start up I had an idea that I thought was perfect. My idea revolves around the fitness industry and how to find the right fitness center for you. It made sense to me, and I was ready to execute. In fact, I jumped the gun and envisioned this idea taking flight in the first week of startup. Boy have I been shocked! I have had two calls now with fitness center owners: Retro Fitness and Intrepid Gym. Both are very different, Retro Fitness is a commercial health club and Intrepid Gym is a smaller more specific type of fitness center. Both owners have given me a lot to rethink and implement into my idea. The sticky note is a reminder to myself that I have to tear some walls down in order to build new ones! More research and meetings to come!
