NEW OFFICE, NEW FLOOR
(posted 7-25-06)

Lots of changes are planned at Inside Outside Fitness in the coming week. 

First, new office furniture is being delivered on Thursday, July 27.  This furniture will be placed into the new office/front desk area, in the alcove where the treadmill and elliptical #2 are presently located.  Cardio equipment will be relocated for a couple of days to wherever I can find room for it!  Then over the weekend of July 29 & 30, the old, blue reception desk will be removed.  The cardio equipment will then be permanently placed where the blue reception desk used to be.  New carpeting will be installed throughout the lobby in a couple of weeks, and some paint and other finishing touches will complete the lobby renovation.   

Second, the wood planks for the new movement room floor should be delivered this Thursday, preparatory to the floor’s installation on Monday & Tuesday, July 31 & Aug 1.  The installation won’t start until Monday’s 11:30 Power Cycling class is over, and will hopefully be complete by Wednesday morning’s 9:30 Yoga class.  (I’ll be providing the workers plenty of food & drink to help them get the job done!) 

During the floor installation, on Monday afternoon/evening and all day Tuesday (and maybe part of Wednesday), both the movement room and the women’s dressing room will be off limits.  This means that all circuit classes will stay in the weight room for their floor work for a couple of days.  Personal trainers must also stay out of the movement room with their clients.  Women can change in the rest room or use the men’s room shower if need be, with a guardian at the door to ensure privacy.

My hope is that no classes or workouts need to be canceled.  But there’s always the possibility that the floor installation will run into problems and take longer than expected – and Wednesday morning classes may be affected.  I won’t know about cancellations until Tuesday evening, but I promise to put a message on our answering machine confirming whether or not classes will be held as usual.  I apologize in advance for inconvenience to any of our members.

This work will improve Inside Outside Fitness tremendously.  The new cardio area will have better ventilation, and be more connected to the rest of the space.  Our new office will be more efficient.  The front room will be able to be converted back to childcare.  The movement room will look terrific, be easier on everyone’s joints, and give us the ability to recruit more of the top fitness instructors.  I hope you’re looking forward to these changes as much as I am!

Sincerely, Lisa Gartland
