With a heavy heart we are temporarily closing all our clubs effective at 8PM tonight (3/16/20), we will remain closed March 17th – March 31st. We believe that a complete closure is the best way to serve the community that we are all so passionate about and help flatten the curve of infections. We are uncertain if the full closure will continue beyond March 31st, we will await guidance from the State and Public Health officials to learn about reopening procedures in a full or limited capacity. We appreciate your patience.
For the last 43 years our Boston-based and family owned business has been fully dedicated to the health and well-being of our members, our team, and our community. Unfortunately, the Coronavirus is affecting so many lives including our dedicated team who are passionate about getting up and going to work every morning to help you stay healthy and achieve your fitness goals.
Many of you have developed personal relationships with our team and are concerned about their well-being. Rest assured, all our full time employees, including full time commission-based trainers, will be paid during this closure, without needing to use any vacation or sick time.
To continue our team’s work in supporting your goals and support our team’s ability to work remotely, we are actively working on the following:
Customized at home workouts
We know how important your daily workout is, and how a disruption like this may impact your consistency and results. It can be difficult to transition from a full gym to an at home workout. We are here to help!
For all active members we are offering a special customized workout plan for home workouts. We are excited to offer this to you, please give it a try! Visit this link to request your workout plan.
Virtual Classes from Les Mills
We are proudly partnered with Les Mills On Demand, and we are giving you complimentary access to 95 classes, including HIIT, Mindfulness, Training, BODYCOMBAT, as well as some fun kids programming for those of you with kids out of school. Visit this site for access: https://lmod.co/club
Full Transition to Virtual Personal Training
If you are a personal training client, keep it up. You can continue your training over Video Conference (FaceTime, etc.). If appropriate to the situation, in person sessions may be available outdoors. Contact your trainer if you are interested.
Membership and Weathering the Storm with Us
