Thank you!

I wanted to start this letter by saying thank you because we are truly grateful for the support that our BODYFIT community has shown us over the last few weeks. We could not have predicted a situation that played out as it has. The idea of a small, “non-essential” (we’ll talk about this later), service business having to close their doors for a month or even more, is crazy! How would they survive? What about their bills? Rent? Utilities? Loan payments? Not to mention the staff. How would they get paid? Most trainers and class instructors in the fitness industry are independent contractors. That means if they can’t work, they can’t get paid. How would they survive?

The answer is you. Again, thank you! If it were not for you and the rest of the BODYFIT community, we would not make it through something like this. But because of you, we believe that we will LEARN, GROW and THRIVE from this situation. We can not say it enough. Thank you!

Moving forward, our goal is to EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS on the services that you have come to expect from us. We want to continue to ADD VALUE to everything that we offer to you. How can we do that?

Obviously we are unable to offer our in-person classes and training. However, we were so grateful to realize that we needed to act quick and start offering virtual classes. We know some people were and maybe still are, reluctant to try these classes. Thinking that they might not be up to the BODYFIT standard. Well, we would like to challenge you to be open minded and try one. Our trainers have gone ABOVE AND BEYOND with designing these workouts and making these classes AMAZING! The obvious challenges of limited space, limited equipment or “not knowing how to use Zoom,” you name it, our trainers have found solutions for each one of these. They’ve done this because they care. They love what they do and they want you to continue to join them in their workouts.

See, this is much bigger than the actual brick and mortar of BODYFIT. This is our mission. To help as many people as possible create healthier, happier lives. We can do this with or without a building. (But don’t worry, we can’t wait to get back!) BODYFIT has been and always will be defined by our community. The changes we’ve seen and the growth we’ve seen from day one, have been because of our community. Not what “we think” we should do or what the rest of the fitness industry is doing. It’s because of you! You are BODYFIT. We are BODYFIT.

This brings us back to the “non-essential” title that we’ve been given. We understand why we needed to close our doors but beyond that, we truly believe that what we do at BODYFIT (building or no building) is for the GOOD. The benefits that exercise and nutrition has on your physical and mental well being are endless! We all know this. And now it’s more important than ever to focus on this. Not to mention, the benefits of being a part of a community! This is what we hope you get by coming to BODYFIT, taking the virtual classes and being a part of the BODYFIT community.

To create HEALTHIER, HAPPIER lives. Now that, in our opinion, is very ESSENTIAL.

How can we help?

How can we serve you in this time?

Please let us know. We are here for you and we will get through this and be stronger for it!

Health and Happiness, 

Jon Messick, Owner of BODYFIT
