NEW OFFERING: ACCESSORY PROGRAMMING (AP)
Tomorrow's sign ups are currently only during the 7:00 and 12:00 class times. A reminder that we will still go through our full schedule if there are sign ups. We'll keep the full schedule open until 9:00 PM tonight, if we don't see sign ups for other times we will reduce to 7:00, 12:00, and 5:00.
We’d like to thank you for your continued support during this challenging time. COVID19 has impacted us individually and collectively, with the future uncertain.
At Arena Ready, our mission has always been the same and will continue staying the same:
"We are dedicated to improving the lives of our clients, regardless of their fitness or ability levels. We believe in continuous personal improvement supported by unparalleled coaching, healthy lifestyles, and the camaraderie of a supportive community.”
AR’s programming has always been designed with the community in mind and meant to be sufficient for athletes of all levels. As you may know, we adapted to virtual live classes and continued to offer programming with this philosophy in mind. Like most things at AR, we have thought through multiple angles over and over again to be as prepared as possible to continue to serve this community and to actually have the safety of every person top of mind. Gyms who are asking their employees to staff their facility while members grab equipment are not following the intent of the public health directives, and are diminishing the concept of membership solidarity through self-selection.
We are incredibly appreciative of your continued patronage to Arena Ready. From even before the government ordered to shut down gyms, we’ve been thinking of and implementing ways to continue to add value to our community. One additional offering we plan to implement in the next couple of weeks is the introduction of Accessory Programming (AP).
Some of you may have heard some athletes discuss this during its pilot program earlier in the year, with the intent to roll out to all athletes in the second quarter. AP was designed with the intent to supplement the AR WODs by helping athletes focus on specific and achievable objectives, and takes a holistic approach that takes into consideration the athlete’s fitness level/goal and the AR CF programming. We are planning the service with an additional $150/month fee on top of CF membership. Going back to our point of adding value to our community, we’ve decided that AR will cover that cost for athletes for the duration of shelter-in-place mandate.
The process to get involved will be:
1. list three (3) specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, timely (SMART) objectives that you would like to achieve during the shelter-in-place period
2. have a 15min 1:1 conversation with one of the coaches (to be arranged by AR)
3. AR coach and athlete to agree on a strategy to achieve objectives (revised as necessary and by agreement between coach and athlete)
4. if applicable, athlete starts AP in conjunction with virtual CF programming.
Please reach out to Katoa if AP is something you’d be interested in and I’ll advise next steps.
We must remind ourselves that this time will pass. Muscle memory will help us bounce back to where we were before this episode, and AR is committed to helping our community achieve greatness.
Stay healthy and stay safe.
