Once upon a time, we needed to get all of our gym equipment for CONNECT. We had already had treatment beds delivered, our MASSIVE IKEA shipment had arrived (and been partially assembled thanks to our very patient families), but delivering the gym equipment was going to cost over $1000 because of the weight of everything that needed to be shipped.
But for $100 and an adventure, we could rent the biggest U-Haul we could find (not because we needed a huge truck, but because we had 6000+lbs of equipment and flooring), drive to Barrie, and do it ourselves.
And that’s what we did.
We bribed family to be there when we got back to unload the truck, and we paid them in pizza and beer as we schlepped each individual floor mat (that weigh 100lbs each) into the clinic and placed them in the gym where they live today.
All of a sudden, the space was looking more and more like the space we dreamed of, and luckily we got it all done that weekend, because we opened our doors just a few days later (“opened our doors” in the most figurative sense, because none of our treatment rooms actually had doors when we opened, another fond memory!)
