 take down Jim and Brainerd has produced a number of division one collegiate and professional athletes. But now the gym has its eyes set on something even bigger and better. Clayton Castle has that story. The excitement surrounding the visit of the Stanley Cup to Brainerd was evident a few months ago when Brainerd native and current Pittsburgh penguin Josh Archibald visited take down Jim and Brainerd experiencing more momentum and growth and originally thought that Jim broke ground today on a new renovation and expansion project. Well, we have a 28,000 square foot renovation. We're currently in 14,000 square feet. Pretty excited. We we're gonna be having a lot of renovations down to this space as well. So it's pretty exciting. The project will add a large open gym area featuring a basketball court in a turf field. It will also add a spin room and other features, including renovating the current space. The project will build on take down Jim's mission of attracting people of all ages and backgrounds. We have stuff and we have programs from little athletes all the way up through the adults. We want to help kids get better at their sports. Maybe someday leave Brainerd and go on to a scholar college scholarship or beyond. We want adults to get back into shame. Manager Joe Chardelli says that the project will also benefit those the gym currently serves. But we want them to come to us and we want to provide the best training opportunity that they can so they could become the best athlete that they are. The momentum and growth takedown Jim has seen in its first four years is what motivates owner Sean Kramer and the entire staff at the gym. What gets us most excited is the opportunity that we give our athletes. It doesn't matter from a young person just getting into athletics becoming more athletic all the way through if you're a professional athlete trying to make the pros. I think for us having a high school athlete that we turn into a better athlete as a result gets a scholarship to college. That's what gets us really motivated. The takedown Jim renovation and expansion is expected to be completed in mid to late spring 2018 reporting in Brainerd, Clayton Castle, Lakeland news and the estimated cost of the entire project is about $7 million.
