Email Update - 5/19/20

1)    It’s hard to believe that Memorial Day is less than a week away!  I don’t know about you, but it totally snuck up on me!  Despite being in quarantine I hope that you can all enjoy a wonderful holiday weekend. 
The gym will be open for MORNING SESSIONS only from 7am – Noontime on Memorial Day.
The schedule is already updated and I hope that you can join us before you embark on your holiday plans.  
2)    I am excited to announce that starting on June 1st a Live Stream STS (Strength Training Session) will be added to the schedule.  This is being added by popular demand!
These sessions will continue to be designed in such a way that you can get a lot out of them with body weight only.  However, you are also welcomed to use weights as well.
We created a webpage with equipment that you can purchase.  I have also provided Individual links to recommended equipment below.
Equipment webpage: https://www.wilcoxwellnessfitness.com/equipment.html
Recommended weights:
One set of medium weight dumbbells and 1 medium weight Kettle Bell.  You should be able to lift both weights overhead without strain, and a pack of minibands.

AND/OR
A pack of 4 mini bands (one of each color), a first place super band (1/2” to 1”) and three resistance bands.  We often use the Level 2 Pink and Level 3 Magenta in the gym.  Consider a pink, magenta plus one lighter or one heavier depending upon your strength.  There is a graph at the link below showing the resistance for the super bands.  I think that he ½” band is a good place to start.

You will see this new “LIVEStream STS” session on the schedule starting on June 1st, and I plan to get these added to the schedule before the end of the week so you can begin enrolling.
3)    Reopening plans:  I have been at work creating policies and procedures in order to reopen in June for group training.  Unfortunately, just as I was writing this email to update you on these next steps I received a notification that Governor Mills has delayed the opening of gyms.  The good news is that I have a lot of the behind the scenes work completed so that we will be ready to go as soon as we get the green light.
In order to keep our community safe I will have specific procedures that you will need to follow if you choose to attend training sessions in the gym.  I will be finalizing these details and will send out a comprehensive overview of the reopening plan once complete. 
Rest assured that LIVEStream Training will continue at full capacity even after in-person training options resume.
4)    In order to keep LIVEStream Training fully populated on the schedule AND add in-person training options simultaneously I need to invite a new member onto the team!  I will be looking for volunteers for a LIVEStream Group Training Session.   
Please keep an eye out on the Clients Facebook Group and in your email box for more information about volunteering.  Thank you in advance for your help!
 There will be more to come on all of these subjects in the coming days, and I will communicate more info on each topic separately.  If you have any questions, please let me know.
