🔥EPISODE 169🔥 “END OF AN ERA”
🎙️After over a decade, the chapter that changed Fargo-Moorhead’s fitness community is coming to a close.
In this special episode of Red Tape Talk, John Ostos sits down to officially announce the closure of HQ Gym and reveal the vision behind its successor: Sovereign Code.
From the early days of building Metroflex Gym/HQ from the ground up to becoming one of the region’s most recognized training facilities, this conversation reflects on the victories, lessons, challenges, and legacy that shaped the journey.
But this isn’t a story about an ending.
It’s a story about evolution.
Why close a successful gym? What changed in the industry? What comes next? And what exactly is Sovereign Code?
John answers these questions while sharing the vision for a new kind of training environment—one built around intentionality, culture, exclusivity, and experience.
In this episode:
• The real reason HQ Gym is closing
• The timeline and what members can expect
• Lessons learned from nearly 10 years of gym ownership
• The evolution of Fargo’s fitness industry
• The legacy HQ leaves behind
• The birth of Sovereign Code
• Membership caps, culture, and future plans
• What success looks like in the next chapter
To every member, employee, athlete, supporter, and friend who helped make Metroflex Fargo/HQ what it became—thank you.

☀️ SUMMER HOURS ARE HERE ☀️
As we head into summer, we’ll be making some temporary hour adjustments at HQ Gym, H&I Nutrition, and Alpha Kitchen Shake Shop.
🕛 NEW SUMMER STAFFED HOURS:
Monday–Friday: 12PM–7PM
One big reason for the change this year is that Angel will be stepping away for the summer as he takes on an internship within his engineering degree field. We’re proud of him for chasing opportunities in his career path and appreciate everything he’s done for the team here at HQ.
That said — don’t worry…
All members will still continue to have 24-hour access to the facility as usual. The only change will be a smaller staffed/front desk window during the day for things like:
• Hanging with the crew
• Supplement purchases
• Shake orders
• Guest sign-ups
• General assistance
We appreciate everyone’s understanding as we shift into summer mode!
Thank you all for continuing to support what we’ve built here.
