Still in shock.

We are currently looking for an engineering firm to survey the building. We have already reached out to three located in Tallahassee, FL and explained our situation and are waiting for callbacks. If anyone knows of anyone that can help in that area, please message us or our page.

Thank you for all of the messages and comments we have received! We continue to pray for everyone that is in the aftermath of Helene.

Almost a year later, that same gym was destroyed again after Hurricane Helene ripped the building’s roof off.

Hi ladies! I know it has been a while since we've been able to update the public. In the midst of this storm, we do have a little bit of good news. On September 17th, we finally received funding from the SBA to be able to move forward with our permanent roof. After this storm, we will asses the damages (hopefully none🤞🏻) and work with our roofer to order the supplies and move forward with the installation of roof. This has been a LONG journey, as all of us here know, but hopefully there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

We are taking precautions to keep the building as safe as possible and hope to see everyone soon.

We are wishing everyone the best of luck during Hurricane Helene and praying for our small town! As always, please let us know if we can help anyone out post storm. 🙏🩷

Hi everyone!

We finally have another update on the status of the gym and recovery after Hurricane Idalia. We have been moving forward with the renovations mentioned in our last post, however, our main barrier at the moment is the Small Business Association (SBA) loan paperwork and insurance requirements. We recieved confirmation from the SBA on what type of insurance is acceptable and we are actively working with a new insurance agent to aquire a policy.

As of earlier this week, we were informed that the gym can NOT be open until ALL of the roof repairs are complete. This could take 1 to 2 months depending on how quickly the SBA can process our paperwork and disperse funds, which allows us to pay for the rest of the roof.

Despite this minor setback, please know that we are moving forward and our plans are to have the gym back open for our ladies as soon as possible. In the interim, our yoga instructor has opened classes on Thursday mornings at 10:30am at Timberland Ford.

We greatly appreciate everyone for their continued support and patience as we work through this process. 🩷💪🏻

Hi ladies!

Here is a message from Karen Falicon about restarting her yoga classes while we continue repairs:

------‐----------

"I have received several requests to restart my yoga classes. Conqher fitness hasn't re-opened yet, due to extensive hurricane damage. I have secured a temporary venue. Timberland Ford has office space with a conference room available for rent. I will honor all prepaid classes from Conqher Fitness members and nonmembers. Our first class will be Thursday 1/25 @ 10:30. We will begin with one day a week and play it by ear about when to add an additional class. Our focus will continue to be on balance and stretching.

1 class $8
5 classes $38
10 classes $75

First class is free! Hope to see you Thursday!

Hi ladies! Happy New Year! We know that everyone is eager to get back in the gym and so are we. The holidays slowed us down just a bit, so we are still working on getting the gym set up for you. Our lighting was delivered yesterday and our HVAC system is in the works.

We are working as FAST as we can to get the gym open, while also cherishing the time we have with family during the holidays after this very difficult year.

As we work towards opening, we had thought about posting workouts and nutrition tips to help you at home. Please let us know if this is something you would like in the meantime. :)

We can't wait to see you!

*** GYM UPDATE ***

Hi ladies! 💪❤️

We have had quite a few of you reach out for an update on the gym. Up until now, we haven't had a solid enough timeframe to release to the public. We have been working through the SBA loan process, which brought up a few major roadblocks while we were trying to move forward with reopening the gym.

While we are still going through this process, we believe that we have worked our way through the big roadblocks and feel comfortable enough to provide everyone with our current timeline. After speaking with some local contractors, we believe that we should be able to open by the beginning of the year! 💫

Of course, as things come together, we will post updates on Facebook and let everyone know how things are going and a better date as we approach that time.

We miss everyone and can't wait to be open for you again!

***GYM UPDATE***

Good morning, ladies! We are sorry it took so long for an official update, but we've been trying to finalize a timeline before making a post. As of our last update, we were working to get most of the gym usable by last Friday 9/29, and we were on pace for that until the storm last Tuesday 9/26. We knew the tarps were not perfect, but we weren't sure how much leaking we were dealing with until that storm. We still have substantial leaks in the main gym area that flood the floor, which prevents us from putting the equipment back into place.

The leaking forced us to quickly redirect into working on the permanent roof replacement for the front 1/3 of the building (the roof over the gym). As of last Thursday 9/28, we signed a contract with a roofer to have the first 2200 sq ft roof replaced. The projected timeline for completion is 3-3.5 weeks. While this is a longer initial delay than we previously hoped for, this is also a permanent roof which is more stable and should not have to be revisited after getting the business back open. Our current projected opening date is November 1st, 2023.

This is only made possible by the tremendous amount of support we've received both locally and nationally. If not for everyone continuing to support us, we would not be in the position to purchase this roof so quickly. We are fully committed to getting the gym back open, and plan to continue growing it better than it was before. We will continue doing the renovations downstairs as planned, so that when the roof is complete we are able to be open immediately.

Due to the delayed reopening of the gym, we will be pausing all fees beginning tomorrow (Oct 4th) through Nov 4th. If you would like to continue making your payment as usual, or have any questions at all, please let us know and we’ll do our best to respond in a timely manner. We will be adding a timeline chart to the main page, so that is easy for our members to see what part of the project we’re working on as we move towards reopening. We appreciate all of our members, and we look forward to getting opened and back to normal.
