Hello Copperhead CrossFit Members,
Our two week quarantine is reaching its end. Unfortunately, what started as a precaution for our members is now mandated by the government. We will remain closed until this pandemic is at a level for which it has been deemed safe to reopen. The effects of COVID-19 are taking a financial toll on many. Given that in the beginning we were hoping this may only last a couple of weeks, we did not cancel any of the membership dues and used the time to make improvements and repairs to the gym that were difficult to complete otherwise given that we have classes 7 days a week throughout the day, and rarely close, even on most holidays. Now that it appears we will be closed possibly another 2-4 weeks (no one knows with any certainty), I am reaching out to each and every one of you to ask for your continued support if and only if, this will not be a financial burden on you. I completely understand if a member or family has to cancel given their own financial burden and will fully support their decision. I am hoping that this will not last more than one additional month, and as I am sure many of you are aware, mortgage payments, insurance coverage, utilities, etc. all continue to have to be paid by small businesses. Additionally, I have continued to pay our instructors for both Jiu Jitsu and Crossfit to help them maintain their family's needs and will continue to do so as long as this is possible.
Here are a couple ideas I have to help repay your generosity.
Starting in May I can reduce your dues by $10/month until the month owed is repaid.
I am making improvements to our gym while we are shut down.
I am beyond grateful for your support in this tough time and will support your decision in the same way you have supported me and Copperhead CrossFit.
Sincerely,
Nathan Zigler
