What I want to create is a store that sells climbing holds, training boards, and other training equipment from a lot of different manufacturers. I also want to provide customers with a large amount of information on training sciences and methodologies.

I like the idea, but wonder if climbing is a big enough market to support the operation. Focus could be widened to other types of training like yoga, weights, running & bike?

There are lots of physical stores that sell all kinds of gym equipment and seem to do OK. Most of them don't have the information aspect and that really appeals to me, personally. The climbing stuff could exist alongside yoga mats, metronomes for running, weight gloves, dumbbells, wrist GPS, etc. and make the store unique to people. It would be a big deal to have ALL the scientific (and otherwise) training literature. I think that would get you some good sales.

Have you been to active.com? They don't sell stuff but the information and community aspect is great.

PS - I sell internationally. The only way it works is wholesale. Don't expect anything from that direction.
