We have listened and we have learned so much over the last few weeks. Our recent Town Hall meeting united our community to not run from challenge, but to face it head on! Over the last 5.5 years we have faced many challenges as a small business, but 2020 has by far been the most challenging time for the business, our managers/coaches and all the members in our great community. It has been beyond tough to watch our business be destroyed and ripped apart, through no fault/action of our gym. But fortunately we are all CrossFitters. As such, we are physically and emotionally strong…and we can get through anything.
 
CrossFit has been ingrained in many of our lives and we have loved it. Our gym has created an environment where people of all colors, sizes, genders, ages, shapes, and backgrounds come together and get in the trenches and battle through challenging and fun workouts. This environment has created strong bonds between us that are built to withstand challenges. We love CrossFit and the community of awesome friends we are surrounded by in our gym and at other CrossFit gyms around the world. The words of one man do not change anything about who we are and what we do and how we operate within the 4 walls of our gym.
 
We have always been a community of support towards each other and inclusion towards anyone who stepped through our doors. We have never deviated away from this. Our gym, our coaches and our members have always embraced these values and created the most positive and inclusive environment to get fit…and have a whole lot of fun doing it while building friendships with some amazing people! #CFR7friendshipmachine #CFR7lovemachine
 
We believe in forgiveness and the ability of people and organizations to change. Former CrossFit CEO, Greg Glassman made some truly awful statements in the last week that we can not excuse. That is why we demanded that CrossFit HQ make a leadership change. They made that change with the appointment of Dave Castro as the CEO of CrossFit and at this time, we are continuing forward with our CrossFit affiliation. We do this with the hope and belief that CrossFit HQ will continue to make positive changes to their organization to promote inclusion and diversity. We are also making this decision because we feel that we should retain our voice and influence within the CrossFit community. This is the best way for us to use the strength of our community to push for change within HQ, the individual CrossFit affiliates, and the world outside of CrossFit.
 
We have already reached out to CrossFit HQ to share details of our new partnership with Little Lights (see details in previous post). Imagine if we can share this program with a network of 12,000 other gyms and they build a similar program in their city? That is how we can change and impact this world!
 
Our heart has always been one of service towards you and towards people in need in our community (and even around the world with some of our past programs). We have always offered opportunities for our members to serve people in need in our local community. We are excited to launch our new partnership with Little Lights to build relationships that will create many more opportunities for you to get involved through volunteering to serve those in need. Action is what makes change. Getting involved in the lives of our underprivileged youth makes change. We certainly cannot solve all of the huge social and racial injustice issues facing us but we can start actively taking steps in the right direction. Small steps lead to bigger steps and bigger steps and these steps forward will start to make a difference.
 
If we know one thing, CrossFitters love a challenge and CrossFitters love to work hard to improve their lives…and the lives of those around them. Let’s not talk about the change, let’s be the change. Let us unite together and make a positive impact on our neighborhood and our world!  💪💪🏼💪🏾

OPERATION CROSSFIT OVER COVID

Phase 2 Member’s Guide

We are extremely excited to continue reopening at CFR7 and to start training inside again. As we move through the reopening phases it will be important that we all strictly adhere to guidelines outlined by government officials. It will be the best way to get you all back at the gym while keeping you safe and healthy. We very much appreciate all of you being patient. We are doing our absolute best to provide you all a good experience at the gym within the constraints of current regulations.

Through Phase 2 of the reopening process our workouts will be a little different than normal in a few ways:

  • We will be inside again! But classes will be capped at 15 people as gym occupancy cannot exceed 30% of the maximum. 
  • Maintain 10ft of distance between yourself and your closest neighbor
  • No partner WODs or sharing equipment.
  • You may workout outside if you feel more comfortable!
  • Facemasks are optional.

Below are the procedures that we will be following for your time at the gym.

Reserving for Class

  • You must RESERVE for class through Zen Planner. Classes can be reserved 1 week in advance. You may not show up to class if you have not reserved. 
  • If you do not show up to a class that you had reserved you will be barred from that class time for 30 days. 
  • Reservations can be cancelled up to 1 hour before class. If you need to cancel after that 1 hour window has passed you need to contact the gym via email or phone. If we do not answer your call, leave a voicemail message explaining your situation. Please do your best to drop your reservation 1 hour prior to class to ensure another member can come in to workout.
  • If you are waitlisted for a class, be sure to check 1 hour prior to class to see if you were bumped into the class if others dropped their reservations.

General Guidelines

  • Before you come to workout, you will need to sign our updated waiver. You can do this through the Zen Planner app. You should be prompted to do so by a notification on your home screen or in the “Notifications” section of your profile.
  • Follow the coaches directions to ensure a safe workout environment. All of the coaches have gone through a training session regarding the guidelines to be followed and will be in charge of making sure that all members adhere to them.
  • Please keep at least a distance of 10ft between yourself and other members/coaches.
  • Please bring a reusable water bottle. The water fountains will be closed off but you may use the refill station.
  • If you wish to mobilize before or after class it must be done at home.  

Class Structure

  • Before your class, you may wait outside the gym before the previous class finishes. Please maintain social distancing from the class in progress and other members waiting.
  • The coach will brief the class as usual but please maintain 10ft of distance between you and everyone else in class.
  • Before grabbing equipment, you must sanitize or wash your hands. 
  • Next, you will wipe down your equipment with a disinfectant wipe or sanitizing solution bottle and take it to your work station. Please ensure appropriate distancing between workout stations.
  • Sharing of equipment is not permitted.
  • At the end of class, you will return your equipment to the equipment collection area maintaining a 10 foot distance between each other.
  • You will, again, sanitize the equipment with a disinfectant wipe or with the spray bottle solution and a hand towel.
  • Before leaving you must sanitize or wash your hands.
  • You will then need to immediately leave the gym through the door by the platform and either head to the right around the building or around the far side of the fountain keeping your distance from other members/coaches.
