REMINDERS & UPDATES FOR THE WEEK

Next Week Schedule:

We are going to continue with last week's 7:00, 10:00, 12:00, and 5:00 virtual class sessions.

Zoom Security Update:

Zoom has implemented a mandatory password on all meetings. As a reminder the Zoom link and password for all classes are always the same - find them posted to FB nightly along with the class plan.

Class plan & Blog Update:

Moving forward we are not going to post the full workout directly on the blog. We will move back to posting just the Black version of the daily WOD. However, we will shift to posting the class plan (including warm ups/scaling), and Zoom link/password reminder to FB every night - for the purpose of sharing within our community walls.

Pre-Class Email Update:

We've been emailing the virtual class an email :15-:30 prior to the session with equipment, zoom link, and class plan. Moving forward, athletes signed up for class will get an email reminder the day before. If you sign up the day-of or happen to join late, look for the class plan and link/password reminder post to the FB page. (You can always use a previous link/email as well!)

If you need some AR interaction join in on the question of the day threads on Facebook or an AR Cooks session. Lastly, if you need support (even beyond fitness) please reach out to us. We are here for you.

Everyone who participates will have their name displayed on the community leaderboard and will be able to create smaller leaderboards among friends, family, and other members of their affiliate using leaderboard hashtags.

Anyone can participate in the Support Your Local Box Fundraiser. Payment is not required, and there is an optional donation to any box around the world. CrossFit understands that many face financial difficulties at this time and want everyone to have the opportunity to participate without barriers.

EXTENDED SHELTER IN PLACE UPDATE & MORE

Scheduling:

No changes to tomorrow, having all altered schedule classes - 7:00, 10:00, 12:00, and 5:00.

AR Cooks:

Meal prep cooking session this Sunday at 5:00! Read full details in yesterday's blog post. Coach LGB has posted the equipment & grocery list, please find it here.

Virtual Classes On-Demand:

We will update the site to house former class plans and coach recordings to follow along to.

Extended Shelter in Place:

With the announcement of the shelter in place order extension through May 1, we'd like to provide a few updates.

  • Equipment Lending - We are going to continue not lending equipment through the shelter in place order.

    • We believe setting up, even contactless, pickup windows would be doing our staff and members a disservice by putting them in undue risk. We also believe it would not follow the SIP order as it is a non-essential activity and reason to leave the home.

  • 30 Day Cancellation Policy - Applies to all contracts and upfront memberships.

    • Arena Ready has a 30 day written notice cancellation policy. However, during the extenuating circumstances COVID19 has created, if you find yourself under financial duress with your livelihood compromised please reach out to us. We want to keep the community together as much as we can during this trying time, please let us know if you need support.

  • Keeping AR Alive - Life after COVID19.

    • Our goal is to be here after the COVID19 pandemic ends. Currently, we are in good shape to do that, however we need your continued support. Our ask of you is to continue your AR membership if you can. Priority should be placed on your family's well being and if that means you need to pause AR, then so be it. However, if you are in a situation where you can continue we humbly ask that you do so.

    • We are doing our best to provide you with all the fitness & community support you need. In mid-March we updated the group on our new offerings, read the full blog post here. Beyond that, and the updates above, we've also added more virtual class sessions and AR Cooks - read more about both of those items here.

As always reach out with any questions, my virtual door is always open (and real door, when we are back to using real doors).
