As you are aware, the turf downstairs has been removed in anticipation of the new cardio deck renovation which includes condensing old pieces and replacing some with new ones, plus installing more turf on the far end of the cardio deck for all stretching or functional training. By doing this, we will be opening more room on the weight floor for the new equipment you see listed on the posters outside the weight room. It will also open space for members to walk and run on the track while popular classes such as N10c are performed on the cardio deck making the track more accessible.
Starting Monday, January 27th the cardio deck will close at 12:00pm for the remainder of the day for the old equipment to be taken off the second floor by the staircase in the lobby. The club will remain open, but the lobby will be split into an “equipment” side and a “member” side to navigate the front doors. Please be aware that the installers will be transporting very large and heavy pieces of equipment. Please be cautious as you travel to the Children’s Center and enter through the back doors by the basketball court for that morning. Once the equipment is moved, floors will be cleaned, and the turf install will start. The cardio deck will potentially be closed until Wednesday morning. We will re-evaluate once the turf is installed and the electrician has completed his work.
The weight room floor will close promptly at 1:00pm for the remainder of the day to safety install and move all pieces of Matrix equipment into their new locations. The large adjustable benches will be traded out to the fixed low-profile benches and the cable crossover will be shifted towards the Garage to make way for an additional stack. Most exciting is two half racks will be installed in the Garage with platforms for deadlifting with bumper plates. Sometime in February the Garage will now be open for all members to use when Small Group Training classes are not running. You can find that schedule here! If you wish to lift free weights on Monday afternoon, feel free to go over to the CrossFit space in the Performance Center between the hours of 12:00pm-4:30pm! Coaches will be there to answer any questions about equipment and use of space.
After 12:00pm next Monday, the Basketball Court and both the Indoor & Outdoor Pools will remain open. Lap swimming will run as scheduled, but please be aware that there will be male electricians in both the men’s and women’s locker rooms intermittently throughout the day. You will have access to the changing rooms, bathrooms, and saunas, but will not have use of the showers as the electricians must climb into the ceiling above the showers to do their work on the cardio deck. Please plan to leave without a shower. If you feel more comfortable you may enter and exit the pool decks through the double doors on the court and you will also have access to the two single bathrooms on the “tween side” of the Children’s Center. There will be NO swim school or ClubWorx swim team practices on Monday.
Please note that a few items may be out of place over the course of the next two weeks. These are growing pains we are excited about since its going to lead to bigger and better things for our members. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this transition.
