Welcome to August!
I wanted to provide a quick update for our members in light of the ever shifting landscape of our COVID19 reality.

First let me say thank you for your diligence in following our new operating procedures. Weather it's wearing facial coverings to/from the gym, observance of social distancing in our space, the increased cleaning of equipment after each class, or self-quarantining when needed — I can honestly say I am proud of the way our members have adapted and taken all these new things in stride with great respect.

Additionally, I am impressed by and honored to be a part of a community that has been so supportive of our movement to Duratus Strength & Conditioning. We are working to stabilize and re-establish ourselves after this significant business and operational change. We are confident in the ways our values are informing how we get to exist and be in the city.

All this being said, I understand this new reality is stressful at times, frustrating, inconvenient, and the unknown timeline certainly can bring about anxiety. We are all having to adjust and give up things that we enjoy and value. It's ok to grieve these things, but let us remember that we we are adjusting in these ways for the betterment of our city and protection of our community. It is important to remember that inconveniences pale in comparison to what some had to endure.

Many have reached out about the Governors newest set of restrictions (end of July). Originally. "fitness centers" were included in his statements, but since he has put on hold any new/further restrictions for how can operate. At this point - nothing has to change in our day-to-day.

We are actively discussing future changes that might help alleviate some of the pain points that have been expressed (ie. registration system, lack of open gym, future competitions/community events, movement and educational offerings, etc). These things are on our radar and we are working to figure out ways that allow us to move forward in a safe and reasonable way.

In the meantime - we ask for patience and grace. Continue to be a community that is thoughtful of the other and looks out for each other. Keep showing up. Keep putting in the work. Since we opened, almost 7 years ago (August 5th of 2013), we have lived by the statement…We Endure Together…never in a time has this been more true.
