Gilbert Training Center

If you saw a lot of law enforcement vehicles at the training center last weekend don’t worry, they haven’t caught me yet. This was actually for a breaching course we taught. The old offices are partially built out as a first responder training area with our breaching simulators. It was personally important to us to give local officers the training they need to save lives behind difficult commercial doors (like in the old elementary school, which we also used for training). Officers and military personnel from several local departments and as far as 3 hours in both directions attended. Check out some cool photos demonstrating what we do as a training equipment company in addition to our sports stuff!

Batting cages are a lot like people. Sometimes they need a little lift in their spirits, or in this case, cables. After putting them up several months ago it was time to go around and tighten everything up and get the rigging up a few feet.

If you aren’t doing baseball drills in footie pajamas you are doing it wrong. I’m sure you will see all the pros doing it soon.

Looking for feedback- What would make a difference to you? This machine can throw up to 45 mph and is free to use for any member. How many of you would be more likely to start, or keep your membership longer if we had a portable machine that could do up to 95 mph? I’ve had at least one request. Let me know if the juice is worth squeeze!

As a heads up, we will have expanded daytime hours (0800-2100) for members to book during the week of spring break.
You still have to be there with them, sorry. Odds are you are a better parent than me so you cant rely on me to supervise them. For members that will be home with the kids that week, hopefully that will help you get them out of the house during the day!
I can’t change the schedule ahead of time so the expanded hours for that week will go live on that Friday March 13.

Should I keep the faux brick going for the rest of it? I’m also considering a giant wall of chalkboard paint 🤔
Party/conference/overflow room is getting closer as well!

Also, it stinks in here. I’m glad I listened to my wife and wore a respirator.
Maybe someday when I want to punish myself more than normal I’ll do the ceiling too.
