Reopening Episode 4 - A New Hope
Welcome to Reopening Episode 4; a small piece of our “10 part lockdown saga”. Oh Boy Howdy has this ever been super not fun!
Onto business: Please read this entire post carefully as this a
We are Open!
(Mostly) Here’s what you should expect:
Platforms & Open Gym* are open starting Saturday
Class resumes Monday Morning
Social distancing regulations are limiting the number of athletes in the gym. We expect this to be lifted or loosened in July.
8 People on platforms
8 People in the Functional Fitness area
Minor Class Time Adjustments:
The following class times are different:
6:00am and 7:00am class are now only 1 class at 6:30am.
Platforms still open at 6:00am
Gymnastics is now just on Wednesday night.
As these time slots regain popularity, we will add more classes.
Check Into Class - IMPORTANT
We have not been in the gym together in 6 months, we have not had real classes in 7 months; in this time we have gained new members and lost old ones, and existing members habits have changed. This is going to affect the programs and time slots we offer.
We need you to check-in to your class/platform/open gym so we know what people like!
Once we can see when the most popular time slots are, we can improve the programs that we are offering during those time slots.
Clarification on this weekend (June 12 & 13)
There are NO CLASSES this weekend.
Platforms & Open gym* are available at INDOOR only.
Functional Fitness will have limited equipment availability on Saturday. (Please come help us move equipment at 11am)
*Please note: the OPEN GYM Membership option is only available to members paying full rate.
Equipment Return
We are going to be meeting at the Outdoor Gym at 11:00am on Saturday to transport equipment back to Frontier.
We would like to do this in ONE BIG TRIP. If you are able to help, please let Rory know, so he knows how many people to expect.
If you are planning on working out on Saturday, we would very much appreciate it if you would come an hour early and help us move equipment.
Olympic Weightlifting kits can be returned anytime during normal hours on Saturday or Sunday. -> Return your gear and then workout.
Upon arrival to the gym, all equipment must be cleaned before going back on the racks.
We want to be fully operational with all equipment returned before 6:00am Monday
Drop In & Free Trial Extension
If you received a Free Trial at the outdoor location, please contact Rory to have your trial extended indoor for a few extra sessions.
The $10 Drop in will be extended until the end of this month. Use promo code “OUTDOOR” at check out.
