does your local gyms ever sponsor or setup a competition of some sort...ie...bench, squat, dedlift??something of that nature??mine doesnt and i was thinkin of askin then to do so in the summer of this year....i mean it will strive to make people want to improve themselves for the comp and it will also bring new people to the gym....so y not??!!!i think the guy that runs the gym i go to has no clue on advertising or nothing or how to promote bodybuilding or fitness in general....its a smaller town and he just thrives on either go to his place or go to the Y, which is a joke.

Also if ur gym does hold small contests or you have local shows let us know , MuscleChemistry.com will set you up with a banner for the show if the promoter allows it

Do we live in the same town Ded? Me and another guy have talked about possibly trying to put together a bench contest at least (Since nobody does legs - wussies!). I have been to a bench competition nearby at a YMCA though.

My gym has had a couple "challenge" type things to get members to improve in various aspects, or to try out some of the programs and such that the gym offers. In December, they had the "12 ways of fitness". You had like 30 activities from which you had to pick 12 to complete during december. From the finishers, a few people were drawn to win various things (free memberships, shirts, etc). The activities ranged from benching or squating your body weight for x reps, to completing so many pushups in a minute, to naming upper body muscles, to covering a mile in 12 minutes, to taking various classes.

Have him give out like a 3 month membership to the winners - that doesn't cost him anything!
