The Pre-Arrival Sale Has Begun!

The Pre-Arrival Sale Has Begun!

Image

Originally I had planned on making a first run of only hundred copies or so of Building the Gymnastic Body. I was personally pleased with the book, it is truly unique and unlike anything else available anywhere in the world, but I expected only a mild level of interest in its release. However within only a few days of my posting that the book would shortly be available, literally an avalanche of people expressed an interest. Due to such a tremendous response by literally thousands of people in obtaining a copy of Building the Gymnastic Body, it will be necessary to adhere to and understand a few guidelines and rules during this Pre-Arrival Sale to ensure that everyone who would like to be guaranteed a copy gets one.

1) The Pre-Arrival Sale will run from Monday, September 22 to Midnight on Monday, October 6.

2) Please note that ONLY those who Pre-Order will be guaranteed a copy of this first run of Building the Gymnastic Body. All others who order later after the completion of the Pre-Arrival Sale will be served on a first come, first serve basis for any stock that may be remaining after all of the Pre-Arrival Orders have been fulfilled.

3) Please note that once the Pre-Arrival Sale ends, there will be no new orders accepted until all of the Pre-Arrival Sale orders have been sent out later in October.

4) Once your Pre-Arrival Sale order is received, you will be placed in a queue and then, once the books arrive, all orders will be processed and shipped in the order in which they were received.

5) This is very important; all orders will be shipped in their entirety once the first shipment of books arrives. Individual parts of an order will not be shipped separately.

6) The only exception to this rule is the Xtreme Rings. If you would like to receive your Xtreme Rings immediately, then make sure to purchase them IN A SEPARATE transaction. This means that you will need to place an order for the rings, check out and then place another order for the book, DVDs or the package you have selected.

7) The current sale price of $55 on the Xtreme Rings will continue until the first shipment of books arrives sometime during the week of October 20th. At that time the price of the Xtreme Rings as an individual item will increase, however they will still be available for $55 when purchased as part of the various packages.

8 ) The arrival of the first shipment of Building the Gymnastic Body is currently estimated to be sometime during the week of October 20th. Please note that this arrival date is an approximation and subject to change due to influences beyond my direct control (printer, shipping company etc.).

9) As you browse the online store, note that the package deals allow you to save tremendously if you are considering purchasing multiple products.

10) All orders will be shipped out by USPS Priority Mail.

11) If prior to your order shipping out, you change your mind about your purchase, simply let me know and I will refund your purchase price in full. Be aware however, that once your order ships out there are no refunds.

Click here to go to the online store and reserve your copy today of Building the Gymnastic Body.


The response to the upcoming release of Building the Gymnastics Body has been staggering to say the least and far beyond anything that I had even remotely expected. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone for their tremendous support and enthusiasm during the time it took to complete this project. Also thank you to all of the many forum members and moderators who have made Gymnastic Bodies such a vibrant and thriving community.

Yours in Fitness,
Coach Sommer


P.S. I will begin posting the GB WODS on the main page once I have fulfilled the Pre-Arrival Sale orders.

I'm definitely going to buy the book, but could you enlighten us as to the content of the DVDs? Or is there a forum thread I haven't stumbled upon yet...

The Companion DVDs

Postby Coach Sommer on Tue Sep 23, 2008 6:09 am

The Companion DVDs

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words; and in the case of a video this applies even more so. It became clear in the very early stages of this project that it would be quite helpful to provide actual video demonstrations in addition to the many thousands of words of descriptions and the nearly 600 photographs already present within the book; especially for those readers who did not already have a gymnastics background. As a consequence of this revelation, the idea of the Building the Gymnastic Body Companion DVDs was born.

There are five Companion DVDs available. They, like the book, are broken into the five main areas of basic strength concentration; static, pressing, pulling, core and legs. On them, well-trained accomplished athletes that I have personally developed demonstrate all of the 185 exercises contained within this volume in crystal clear detail. Please note that there are no descriptions, explanations or theory discussed on the Companion DVDs; for that aspect of my program the book itself is essential. The book, Building the Gymnastic Body, and the Companion DVDs have been designed to work together to provide the clearest possible tutorial for building basic strength as defined by the Gymnastic Bodies program.

I'm from Spain and just ordered it without problems. You'll find a list of countries when completing your address and a list of your province /state refreshed according with the country you've selected.
I'm from Balearic Islands a small islands in the Mediterranean sea, and they were also listed :wink: .

Hmmm, I went through the process and paid through paypal but it sent me right back to checkout which in turn sent me to try and pay again with paypal. I got the email with the paypal transaction id but doesn't look like the site registered the order.
