Copperhead

How it started and how it ended, with Fran. ⁣
⁣
I think said that CrossFit is more than just thrusters and pull ups. ⁣
⁣
We always wanted to make copperhead more than just a gym. We wanted it to be your “third place” (after home and work). ⁣
⁣
A place to get fit with your friends. ⁣
⁣
A place to feel welcomed. ⁣
⁣
A place that improved lives. ⁣
⁣
We did lots of thrusters and pull ups over the years but in the end, above all else, we hope that we had a positive impact on our people.

First day back in two months. ⁣
⁣
We skipped the high fives and fist bumps. ⁣
⁣
We all smelled like bleach afterward. ⁣
⁣
We used the fans to circulate air out the doors rather than cool us down. ⁣
⁣
Even still, it was good to be back ☺️💪

Hello Copperhead CrossFit Members,
Our two week quarantine is reaching its end. Unfortunately, what started as a precaution for our members is now mandated by the government. We will remain closed until this pandemic is at a level for which it has been deemed safe to reopen. The effects of COVID-19 are taking a financial toll on many. Given that in the beginning we were hoping this may only last a couple of weeks, we did not cancel any of the membership dues and used the time to make improvements and repairs to the gym that were difficult to complete otherwise given that we have classes 7 days a week throughout the day, and rarely close, even on most holidays. Now that it appears we will be closed possibly another 2-4 weeks (no one knows with any certainty), I am reaching out to each and every one of you to ask for your continued support if and only if, this will not be a financial burden on you. I completely understand if a member or family has to cancel given their own financial burden and will fully support their decision. I am hoping that this will not last more than one additional month, and as I am sure many of you are aware, mortgage payments, insurance coverage, utilities, etc. all continue to have to be paid by small businesses. Additionally, I have continued to pay our instructors for both Jiu Jitsu and Crossfit to help them maintain their family's needs and will continue to do so as long as this is possible.
Here are a couple ideas I have to help repay your generosity.
Starting in May I can reduce your dues by $10/month until the month owed is repaid.
I am making improvements to our gym while we are shut down.
I am beyond grateful for your support in this tough time and will support your decision in the same way you have supported me and Copperhead CrossFit.
Sincerely,
Nathan Zigler
