Unfortunately, another gym closure seems all but inevitable. Cuomo announced that indoor dining, gyms and schools would be closed if the positivity rate hit 3% and that’s where we are now. Schools have already been closed in NYC and we think its a matter of time before we’ll follow. This would be a huge setback for the gym as we were slowly rebuilding our business and approaching 60% pre-covid revenue after 2.5 months open. Until we get something concrete, we will continue business as usual but we felt it important to tell you our closure contingency plan ahead of time:
Recurring CrossFit and Open Gym memberships
All recurring memberships will automatically go on hold until the gym is allowed to reopen. Punch cards won’t be affected and we would extend any expiration dates the same length of time that we end up closed. Members who want to support the gym and keep their memberships active can reach out to us and let us know not to put their memberships on hold. We can’t begin to express our gratitude for anyone who does this. As always, OG or CF memberships can also be used for Virtual Classes if they’re kept active. Members may also consider switching to our virtual only membership $185/M as another option.
Equipment Rental
Depending on the length of closure, CFSBKers with active memberships post Sept 2nd, 2020 will be able to borrow one KB or DB until we reopen. Supplies are limited and we’ll schedule some pick-up windows like last time. Rowers may be rented for $140/M if you don’t have an active membership or $70/M if you have any kind of active recurring membership (punch cards excluded). Bikes, barbells and plates will NOT be loaned or rented out.
Stay tuned for more and wish us luck.
Cathy says
David et al – I wish I knew better words so you’d all have a glimpse of understanding of what you and our community mean to me. Working out in the hellscape hot handball courts with the Foxes (and hearing Jess shout alright 7am, circle up) will forever be one of my 2020 joys. Standing outside the gym after class with shared looks of horror (but really pride) at what we’d just done. Our recurring memberships are active for as long as you’ll have us. With so much love and gratitude.
Bjorn Bellenbaum says
Echoing what Cathy said, having the gym reopen has been a real relief in this crazy year and I’m grateful for the efforts you all went through to make that happen. Will also keep my membership active and support however I can… hopefully this won’t last much longer.
Charles Smith says
David and everyone else from coaches to the front desk staff to the cleaning crews- thanks for everything you’ve done to get the gym back open and to make it safe. Another closing would suck, but I’m with you whatever happens.
David Osorio says
Thank you all for your kind words and profound support! Im hoping it doesnt come down to that again and if we do get closed its much, much, much shorter than the first one but I know we will survive this in no small part due to the generosity and love from our community.
Ben Statz says
David and Co,
I just want to echo how much of an anchor CFSBK has been for our family during this time. Even though we haven’t been to the gym on Degraw, we have been in regular contact with coaches for adults, kids, etc. to do our programming at home, get nutrition advice, meditate, and touch base with familiar voices. You all have done an amazing job providing continuity for at-home and in-person members, and we are all very grateful. Please keep our membership full-throttle and know that you are helping to keep our crew active and sane, which is no small feat.
Thank You!
STAND UP says
Do NOT close down. The box is the safest, cleanest environment as you can have and members of all ages can assess their own risk.
