- adrianmonk 4y agoHah, so I guess I'm not the only one with that idea then.
- acomjean 4y agoIts not quite the same but one of the Moving Companies around boston has a rowing club. https://www.gentlegiantrowing.org/sponsor https://www.gentlegiantrowing.org/sponsor "and approach to moving as a sport, requiring dedication and teamwork. Many Gentle Giant employees are current or former athletes from a wide variety of sports and competitive backgrounds. Current and former employees include both Olympic, collegiate and club rowers."
- caboteria 4y agoGentle Giant is really more of a rowing club that has a moving company. They moved our company a few years back and I've never seen anyone carry as much weight as quickly and effortlessly as those guys.
- Swenrekcah 4y agoWe think alike! I would have started that company years ago if not for the threat of the inevitable lawsuit when a client drops a grand piano on someone’s head.
- agumonkey 4y agoHoly .. I wanted to do just that.

- xeromal 4y agoWhat a fun idea!
- trhway 4y agoSuch scheme is somewhat popular in agriculture where city dwellers come to work on a farm and are paying for the experience.
- jaredhallen 4y agoI come from an ag background, and when crossfit started getting big we joked about charging people to work around the ranch. Not surprised to hear it's a real thing. No doubt, though, that ag work can be physically demanding.
- squidgyhead 4y agoI have the same plan! We can team up!
- ihaveajob 4y agoIt reminds me of "u-pick" farms. Less labor, higher prices. The only constraint is that they have to be somewhere easy to reach.
- LeafItAlone 4y ago> higher prices In my experience, I have found that the u-pick places around me are significantly cheaper than in-store or farmers’ markets. Even to the point that I don’t see how they could be profitable.
- IshKebab 4y agoI've definitely seen deliveroo cyclists doing it for the fitness.
- tomjakubowski 4y agoJack Garbarino beat you to it. Read The Movement; there's a copy on my shelf.
- sandworm101 4y agoExcept that moving boxes and furniture doesnt promote fitness. Most of your time will be sitting in a truck. Then it will be repetitive motions with moderate weights. It would be more akin to life as a fedex driver than a modern workout.
- sgtnoodle 4y agoNathan Fielder already tried it. Like all of his business ideas, it was wildly successful.
- jhartwig 4y agoWell he did go to a great school and get great grades.
- hoseja 4y agoMoving furniture isn't what one would call "healthy exercise".
