New country, new life, new business and new media!

We have finally made it to the USA! Corina and I are now open for business in Solana Beach, California.

Our journey to get here has been long and fraught with difficulties but we have finally arrived. To paraphrase the opening sequence to Star Trek Enterprise “it has been a long road getting from there to here!”.

The move from Edinburgh to Southern California has required big changes geographically, emotionally and mentally. We saw our business, gym and clinic that we built in Edinburgh taken over by the wonderful Gail Walkingshaw, we leased our apartment that we lived in for more than 15 years, we left the city that Corina and I have lived in since we were 18 years old, we even had to give our cat Willow away! All of this to take a chance and to make the move of a lifetime to live and work in the USA.

There are some notable differences between Southern Scotland and Southern California… But the biggest without a doubt is the climate, after the worst winter on record in Edinburgh, digging the gym out of the snow for weeks on end, it is paradise to hear the locals complain about how cold it is here!

So, we have taken our chance and opened The Wolf Studio, a sports performance gym and sports injury clinic. We are located in Solana Beach, at the Beachwalk, South on Hwy 101. We are very lucky to have already worked with some of the top triathletes in the world. You can read all about our wonderful new studio at our website www.beachwalkwolf.com

With our new business comes the wonderful world of marketing and letting people know what we do. A big part of delivering our message is social media, something I am not too familiar with. I am not what you call an early adopter… I don’t even text message. But kicking and screaming I have been brought into the 21st century with a Blog (obviously) and a Facebook page both for myself, Corina and The Wolf Studio!

Please check out our Facebook pages and add us to your ‘friend’ or ‘like’ pages.

Our aim with our blog and our Facebook pages is to keep in touch with our clients and potential clients, students and former students, to let our friends and family across the world what we are up to and to network with businesses and colleagues.
