Hey y'all!
I will try my best to keep this as short as possible. However, August 6 is such a special day for us, so I may ramble.
10-years of blood, 10-years of sweat, 10-years of tears, 10-years of our awesome community being " " We would be nothing without each one of you. Each workout, each PR, each complaint, each shoulder to cry on... the list could go on and on. We have all had our great moments, and our not-so-great moments. Mayfair is so much more than a gym. Fitness is not the only impact from this place, and its people. Friendships have been made and cultivated. Families have grown and found support.
I will refrain from an attempt at recounting our history. I know that I would miss someone or some funny story. Personally, each one of you has been a part of my extended family, and I hope I am considered family to you. I know that I have never been perfect, but I hope that my sacrifices have enhanced your life and served you in some way. I honestly didn't even realize how great this place was going to become, and I wasn't sure that 10 years was even possible. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much!!
Adrienne said it best, when she told me that she knew our people would drop everything to help each other out in a time of need, a true family. On that note, I do want to be 100% honest with you all. We are in a time of struggle with memberships. It has declined to the point that it is scaring me financially. You all know that I am an open book. I do not want to blindside anyone, and I do not want to run the gym completely into the ground. My request is that you help me make a little push for some new members. I am going to make some offers to past members, and we will have some "bring-a-friend Fridays". I will also try a few other avenues as well.
Finally, I want to end this message on a good note. I would love for everyone to get together on Saturday August 15. Ten years is an amazing milestone to celebrate. After Open Gym, I will be hanging out at the gym for a while. I will bring my grill. If anyone else wants to bring a bigger grill, that would be fine as well. Everybody bring meat for their family, a side dish, and beverages of your choice. I know this time of year can be a little hectic, so I think a Saturday afternoon would leave your evenings open.
I love you all and am proud to be a part of the Mayfair family!
