It is with a heavy heart that we have made the decision to close Solidarity CrossFit’s physical space for a minimum of one week starting tomorrow, Monday, March 16th. We have been following the news regarding COVID-19 and do not believe that “social distancing” and group CrossFit classes are compatible. We believe this is the necessary thing to do to help slow the spread of the virus and minimize the burden on our healthcare system.
Our facilities are closed, but workouts will continue!
There will be no classes of any variety or open gym at 770 Harris St. Instead, we are offering six days a week of at-home workouts. Here’s how that will work:
- Each workout will be released via the blog on our website, www.
solidaritycrossfit.com/wod, as well as via SugarWOD, the evening before. - You’ll have two ways to join:
- On your own:
- We will have a full movement brief–just like in class–in an embedded YouTube video in the blog. You can complete the workout any time you like and still be briefed on mechanics, intended stimulus, and get a full movement demo.
- Log your scores (and virtually fist bump your friends) via SugarWOD
- In a virtual class
- We are going to be hosting video-conferenced classes starting Monday using Zoom! These virtual classes will be complete with Question of the Day, movement briefs, and the workout of the day. All you need is a computer with a web browser and webcam to participate (there is also a mobile app). (details below)
- Online classes will be at the following times:
- 0600
- 0900
- 1130
- 1715
- 1815
- To attend, just follow the link that was emailed to you.
- Log your scores (and virtually fist bump your friends) via SugarWOD
- On your own:
Social distancing doesn’t have to be lonely–let’s do it together!
- Drop into any virtual class to hang out (drink your coffee and see what the 0900 is up to)
- Connect with us on YouTube: We will be adding additional content to YouTube — I just uploaded my first video today! (And stay tuned for a plank challenge from Becky). You can find our full channel here: https://www.youtube.com/
channel/ UCtPHsQKf56ZHajg1rNwVpAw - Help us by staying engaged in social media! Take videos or photos of what you are doing to stay active, post it, and tag it with #solidaritycrossfit and #scfvirtual
- Stay tuned for virtual challenges and information on outdoor workouts
- Be ready to complete a member survey (sent no later than tomorrow morning) to help us plan the next week(s)
Over the past seven and a half years, we have been committed to two things: fitness and community. COVID-19 changes none of this.
