An update from Jeff and Harmony – Owners of CrossFit Ampersand
As the COVID-19 threat continues to grow, CrossFit Ampersand is participating in measures to do our part to help slow the spread of this virus. It is a terrifying threat for a small business to close its doors to an invisible enemy, but as we have often learned throughout our lives, the hard choice is usually the right choice. Starting Wednesday, March 18th, we will close our physical location at 2248 Meridian Blvd Ste G. We plan on staying closed for 30 days as directed by Governor Sisolak, however, this is subject to the spread of the virus. It very well may go longer.
While our physical location may be closed, we are set on upholding our promise to help you get healthier, happier, and more fit, while staying connected to the community that inspires us everyday. As many work from home during this time, maintaining your workout routine is crucial to not only your physical health, but mental health as well. So many of us find a positive stress relief from working out, and we want to help everyone we can to reduce their stress during these challenging time.
During the shut-down, we have multiple options for you:
1 – Follow the “At-Home-WOD” programming on SugarWOD! We will also hold live Zoom classes to lead you through these workouts, just as though you were at the gym. These will be mostly bodyweight focused workouts, with minimal to no equipment needed. We will have our usual scaling options as well as the stimulus, points of performance, cool down stretches, and more, all led by a coach so you can see the movements done correctly and how they should be performed. You can participate live or recorded and even have your family join in with you. We HIGHLY encourage you to log your score! This will help keep you motivated and in-touch with the community. Be on the lookout, we will be reaching out to everyone to see how their workouts are going!
2 – Ask for tailored, at-home programming. If you have equipment at home, or if you have a specific goal, or specific limitations, shoot us an email at (contact@crossfitampersand.com) The coach in charge of tailoring your programming will email/text you the workout of the day, and they expect to hear back from you how it went with a report. The more communication during this time, the better the results will be.
3 – Do you have kids or teens at home? We’ll also be sharing and leading some Kids & Teens workouts so you can do family fitness at home! This is a great time to share your love of health and fitness with your kids (and get some energy out on a rainy day!).
4 – Goal Setting Sessions are moving online. We recommend every member do a Goal Setting Session every 90 days, just to check in with a coach about how your progress is going, and what we can help improve. Being stuck at home is a great time to schedule a call and chat with a coach! We will either do these on FB Messenger, or a ZOOM call, these details are still being worked out.
5 – If you need protein, vitamins, or anything else, stock up now. You can pickup tomorrow, Wednesday March 18th, by appointment, or have us drop on your porch for you. Additionally, we are placing a supplement order with Driven Nutrition for March tomorrow. If you have any supplements you’d like us to order, please reach out ASAP.
As you all know, we are a small locally owned business. If your salary is guaranteed by your employer during this time we’d really appreciate your continued support as we all get through the next few weeks. This will enable us to take care of our coaches, who can then take care of you with remote coaching/accountability. If you’ve been immediately hit financially please talk to us, and we will do our part to help you where we can.
This is an unprecedented time and requires unprecedented ideas to keep moving forward. What challenged us yesterday, last week, last year, pales in comparison to today’s challenges. But we remain undeterred. This is just another challenge to overcome, and success in that challenge begins with a mindset and ends with teamwork. We can do this. Join our online group classes, stick with your tribe, and continue to crush everything.
We sincerely thank each and every one of you for your support.
Jeff & Harmony
