We're now under the "safer at home" order by Governor Lee (read more here), and the current mandate is to suspend group classes until April 6.

We’re ahead of the curve on Remote Coaching, so you guys are good to go there!

Please stay home and do your part to keep our community safe.

Remote Coaching Pivot

3/19/2020

0 Comments

 
We're committed to COACHING each of you through these crazy times...and that means more than just giving you at-home workouts.
Your membership with us is about way more than just walls and equipment. It's about having a coaching team that understands you, knows your goals, and leads you to them faster than if you were trekking the journey alone. There's no reason to change that now! We're simply going to pivot our delivery system and give each of you this premium service at no additional charge.

You should now have an email explaining the details of our Remote Coaching program and how we're going to deliver over-and-above for you. Be sure to connect with your assigned coach ASAP so we can create an accountability calendar together and talk about *your* workout specifics.

ALSO, we're launching the 30-Day Lockdown Throwdown Challenge tomorrow.

Register by Friday night so we can create our QuaranTEAMS over the weekend!

Update on New Space

TL;DR
We're dealing with a double-whammy right now: tornado and Coronavirus.....and I think that's making things WORSE in your minds. Let's remove some of the unknowns and calm that anxiety level. Even though it's only been two weeks, it's time to shift your mindset away from the tornado and realize that the Coronavirus is the only real issue right now.
1 - if the Coronavirus wasn't happening, we would be IN a space (3 minutes away) and ready to roll again on April 1.
​2 - because the Coronavirus IS happening, we have to listen to the CDC and Dept of Health regarding timing.


Bottom line: we'll be ready to gather again in groups and coach you in person as SOON as it's allowed. Until then, we will continue to serve you guys via remote coaching and deliver as much value as we possibly can.

Our partner gyms are still open FOR NOW, but we need you guys to wrap your heads around the idea of working out at home for a bit. They will likely have to make the hard decision (or be forced) to suspend classes very soon. You've seen the news - restaurants are already forced to drop to 50% capacity or 100 people max; the BNA 5k that a number of us registered for is cancelled (there's a virtual option....so keep running); and there's more coming - we just don't know to what extent or for how long.

Even if those gyms stay open for a bit longer, WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO STAY HOME! It sucks...it sucks for everyone...but it's the right thing to do.

While we're all stuck at home, WE ARE COMMITTED TO TAKING CARE OF YOU AND COACHING YOU THROUGH THIS! 
  • Think "remote coaching" vs just "at-home workouts". We're not randomly throwing stuff in SugarWOD and saying to go do it with no support. We're programming workouts that are specific to you guys, your goals, previous SugarWOD data, etc to get you better.
  • Coaching videos coming your way.
  • Accountability check-ins coming your way.
  • Challenges and fun ways to stay healthy coming your way.
  • Virtual goal check-ins coming your way.
  • Lots more 'stuff' coming your way.

Moving forward:
  • Remember that we're a coaching service who just happened to have walls and a roof when you met us. We can "do what we do" remotely and continue to serve each of you. Your membership isn't just access to a gym or equipment; it's access to coaching, programming, accountability, habit building, community (virtual for now), and so much more.
  • We have a Coach's meeting tomorrow night to finalize the game plan to be sure we continue to go above and beyond for you guys.
  • We're still here for you. You're still part of this team. Your coaches are still on your team. Nothing has changed except the location.
  • We encourage you to keep your membership active with us. This is NOT the end of the world. If you want us to be part of your post-tornado and post-Coronavirus world...we have to be sure there's a gym to come back to when this is all over.
  • We DO have a solid lead on a new space! It would be a temporary home, but it's a possible option right now while we continue to look for a permanent location.

Bottom line:
It sucks. We know.
We want to see you and group hug and high five and celebrate you...but it will be ok and we'll all get through this together. I think our CFH community will actually be stronger because of this.

Your job is to stay healthy.
Our job is to help you do that.

New Twist - Coronavirus

3/13/2020

0 Comments

 
If you’re not in the Facebook group “Inner Circle”, request to join HERE. Even if you don’t have a Facebook account and need to create a fake one for the time being….this is where we’re communicating the most. 

Be sure to read through our update email HERE.

TL;DR:
  • New twist to the tornado stuff....we now have a Coronavirus issue to contend with.
  • Our main goal at CrossFit Hermitage has always been to keep you guys safe and healthy.
  • YOU have to be diligent (without panicking) to remain healthy and prevent the spread of germs to others. 
  • This is the time it’s MOST important for you to be healthy.
  • We understand that there IS going to be some panic and concern. We need you to know that this is not the end of the world. If you want us to be a part of that after-COVID-19-world with you, we ask that you bear with us as we traverse the foreseeable future and do everything we can to continue to serve you.💚

Coronavirus IS a big deal

3/12/2020

We don't think there's any reason to panic about COVID-19.
We DO think there's reason to be careful and take preventive measures.

Not having a roof or walls right now won't stop us from helping you stay healthy.😉 As you visit our partner gyms, keep the following in mind:
  • DO NOT go to the gym sick...or "kinda icky". If you have any symptoms of illness, stay home.
  • Wash your hands before & after every workout.
  • Wipe down equipment before & after you use it.
  • DO NOT STICK YOUR HANDS IN THE CHALK BUCKET. Purchase your own liquid chalk, or just go without for the time being.
  • Keep hand sanitizer in your car or gym bag.
  • Adjust your schedule to attend the classes with fewer people (CFH would implement a 10-person cap on classes right now, per the CDC).
  • Consider going to larger gyms or using open gym time where you can spread out and not share equipment.
  • Take advantage of the at-home workouts we're programming. As the coronavirus spreads, we might be forced to avoid each other for a bit and this will be the only option.
  • If a gym uses a shared keyboard/mouse for checking in, ask if there's a way you can do it on your phone. Stop touching things.
  • Virtual high-fives, maybe some elbow bumps, or just giving 'the look' across the room is the new celebration style.
Stay healthy. Stay strong.
We'll be back in our very our CFH-clean-freak bubble again soon!
