Cycle Class sign up info

Fri, 03 Jun 2022 18:42:05 GMT

What is the difference between signing up for a cycle class with an instructors name and the “outdoor only” cycle class that has 6 spots and no instructors name?

We set up the cycle classes so that 12 people are guaranteed bikes inside in case of inclement weather. The sign up for this is under the instructors’ name.

If the class with the instructors name is full or you only want to participate outside, please sign up for the outside only class.

Where do I add myself to a waitlist?

If you need to add yourself to a wait list for cycle classes (all bikes are full in both the “instructor class” and “outdoor only” class) you need to add yourself to the waitlist under the outdoor only class.

class updates

Fri, 21 May 2021 11:24:00 GMT

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

May Newsletter

Thu, 06 May 2021 13:24:42 GMT

Dear Fitness Edge Friends and Members,

We have some important springtime information that we want to share with you.

Beginning May 10 ^th we will be expanding our hours! We will be open Monday-Friday 5-7. Saturday and Sunday 7-1. Look for some updated early morning classes soon!
Beginning May 10 ^th the showers will be up and running. Please feel free to bring your shower “stuff” and shower after your workout.
We will soon be moving a majority of our classes outside. Exercise and fresh air, what more could you ask for?
Please be aware that we are launching our new “class sign up” web application sometime after May 23 ^rd . We need all members to create accounts and begin looking/working with the web application so that you will be familiar with it when we go live. Directions for sign up and use are below.

Web Application Directions:

https://thefitnessedgenh.thememberspot.com/signin

The most important aspect of it for you, will be signing up for classes. We will be using this for both in person classes and Zoom classes.

To begin with, and this is VERY important, for the time being, you still need to sign up for classes via classes@thefitnessedgenh.com .

We are ready for members to create their accounts and start playing around with the web application. The email we have under your name, in our computer system, will allow you to create the account. If you and another family member share the same email in our system you need to set up emails for each of you. You will each need individual accounts.

Please set up your account. Please play around with the web application. We are looking for you to familiarize yourself with the web application and allow us time to answer any questions you may have.

If you have any questions or receive an error message, please contact marketing@thefitnessedgenh.com or liz.littell@thefitnessedgenh.com and we will help you out. If you are able to take a screen shot of the error we would appreciate it.

Remember, for the time being, if you want to come to a class in person, you MUST still sign up via an email to classes@thefitnessedgenh.com .

A link to the web application is available on the top right corner of our home page.

*When using an apple phone you must use Safari, in order to add a link to your home screen.

*If using a Mac, you need to use Chrome to download the web application.

*For an Android, follow the directions that you are prompted with.

April Newsletter & Updates

Tue, 20 Apr 2021 13:13:04 GMT

Hello Fitness Edge Members,

We love that we are seeing more of you in person at the gym.

We have been busy working on a new web application that will enhance our ability to communicate with our members and improve our process to sign up for classes.

In order to use the new web application The Fitness Edge needs to have your email on file. This will allow you to use it to create an account. The news section of our website will soon have more information and step by step instructions to help get you set up.

Benefits of the web application include:

*Signing up for classes and seeing immediately is there is a space available for you.

*The ability to print your usage of the gym (often needed for insurance reasons).

*The ability to scan your key tag via your phone (no contact).

If you do not have internet access or are not comfortable using the new web application, we will be happy to sign you up for your classes at the front desk.

Registration for classes will continue as it has been for the last year. Email classes@thefitnessedgenh.com .

Sometime in May we will be moving the majority of our classes outside. Working out in the fresh air makes it even better!

We soon will have the ability to do email blasts. Be on the lookout for emails from The Fitness Edge. We promise not to clutter your inbox with unnecessary information. We need your email in order to do this-another reason to make sure we have your current email in our system. We plan on sending newsletters, class updates, gym specials and promotions. Your email will NOT be shared.

We will continue to make The Fitness Edge the place you want to be. Our staff wants you to look forward to coming here so if there is a way we can make the experience even better please let us know. We have a suggestion box, email or just tell us! The Fitness Edge continues to offer the most classes in the greatest variety of any gym in the Lakes Region. For now a majority of classes are offered in person and via Zoom.

Check our website for updated information (News) www.thefitnessedgenh.com/blog .

Staff Member of the Month Series:

Tina Beaulieu

Tina moved to Sanbornton from Henniker NH, with her husband, about 4 years ago. They moved with a brand new puppy and a pair of tuxedo cats who spent the first week hiding behind the toilet of their new house (they definitely didn’t like change). Since then they have added two more fur baby troublemakers, lovingly known as Wacka and Lucibert (not their real names). In their free time Tina and her husband love to hit the trails on their matching His and Hers Kawasaki dirt bikes or on four wheelers with friends. They enjoy spending time in their yard on the motorized mayhem makers or honing in their target practice skills whether it be bb gun, archery or axe throwing. Say hi to Tina as you enter the gym. You will see her greeting members at the front desk.
