3rd Annual “12 Days of Lando Christmas”!!! Come get this one in!!

 

 

Reminder : There is no “last class” at both locations. 4:30pm, 5:30pm only at Canal Park, 5:30pm, 6:30pm only at Woburn (still Open Gym @ 4:30).

 

 

My wonderful Landos. I have heard some grumblings directly and indirectly around the boxes about the schedule for the next week. This is surely not the first time our schedule hasn’t thrilled people and I knew that, but this will be the first time I will explain the why behind my decision to close when we did for the holidays. We are in a business where people want to use what we provide when they aren’t working. This is why we are working on weekends, Mondays and other monthly federal holidays, and weather related days where you are not. It is also why we are working from 530am-8pm while you are not (many of you). It is why we stay open through most days off that other people get aside from Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

 

All of my staff are incredibly hard working. Myself and my head coach/GM and best friend Stacey Kroon have worked ourselves to the bone the past 6 months but really most of this year. We need the time off, full off, meaning the locks don’t get turned from lock or else both of us will be “on” in some way, be it email, blog posting, or just worrying about what’s going on and incessantly texting Jack and Flav about it. But to take a bunch of time off for Stacey and I would only throw it on the backs of the rest of the staff who work “part-time” for our community while working other full-time jobs or as full-time students.

 

To give you a better product we need to be better ourselves, and frankly I’m not sacrificing time with my family so the gyms can get open 1 or 2 more days. If on Monday and Tuesday you desperately need to get into a CF gym it’s a great time to try another out in the area, or if you have the time off why not travel to one you have heard of? Either way, I am sure you will be back and as excited as we are to get back at it.

 

Thank you , genuinely thank you, for understanding and respecting our need for some extended time the next week. I assure you nothing but bigger and better for 2016 and this time allows us to guarantee that happens.
