class updates
Hello Members,
Thank you all for your loyal support! As we transition to a post-COVID world, there are a few changes coming that we wanted to share. As you know, the pandemic required us all to adapt and modify quickly to maintain some sense of "normal". The Fitness Edge staff did an outstanding job implementing Zoom classes, to ensure that we offered our members a gym experience during this unprecedented time. Zoom was always meant to be a temporary solution, as there are many challenges teaching with this modality, especially once members began returning in-person:
- New Web Application- this process will begin for classes on this Monday, May 24.
- Safety First - Instructors have a responsibility to ensure members' safety. It is extremely difficult for them to monitor form, respond to questions and scan for health concerns via Zoom (especially with in-person participation).
- Set-Up and Logistical Disruptions - Setting up for a Zoom class takes a great deal of time and technical adjustments. While these measures were required during COVID stay-at-home orders and prior to vaccination, they increase the time needed to get ready for a class, class transition and scheduling. Additionally, it consumes the instructors, limiting their time to properly prep for each class.
- Class Quality - Teaching modifications and class design require significant modifications for Zoom. Instructors made every effort to consider home limitations when this was our only option. However, now that the gym is open for in-person classes, members expect a more robust and creative class experience, which cannot be achieved safely via Zoom
- Pre-Recorded Classes - For those members that still may have health concerns or enjoy the convenience of working out at home, and variety of pre-recorded classes will be available for a nominal $10/month fee.
As always, the Fitness Edge staff is committed to serving you and providing members the best gym experience possible. Just as we were nimble in transitioning to a COVID environment, we are working hard to transition again. While you may still have some concerns, we want to assure you that we are committed to providing all our members an excellent gym experience. Some things to consider:
We are excited to have you all back at the gym and will continue to maintain a safe and sanitary environment.
We appreciate our members and we are committed to serving you. If you have questions or comments, please contact Liz.littell@thefitnessedgenh.com. Our instructors are busy getting ready to teach before and after their classes!
Thank you
The Fitness Edge
