MLK DAY

MLK DAY

Today we hope you take a moment to reflect on the meaning of MLK Day today.  The Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday celebrates the life and legacy of a man who sowed the seeds of hope and healing in America.

The King Holiday honors the life and contributions of America’s greatest champion of racial justice and equality, the leader who not only dreamed of a color-blind society but who also lead a movement that achieved historic reforms to help make it a reality. On this holiday, we commemorate the universal, unconditional love, forgiveness, and nonviolence that empowered his revolutionary spirit.  Always of service to his community, he reminds us that we are nothing without one another. Regardless of our backgrounds, race, religions, or creed, we are one. And we need to tend to each other as such. Consider this as inspiration to how we behave not just today,  but every day. Let’s be of service to one another and to those in our community.  No act of kindness is too big or too small as anything is better than nothing at all. 

 

  

 

CLASSES ARE BACK

CLASSES ARE BACK!
 

Good evening Covies!  We are looking forward to seeing many of you tomorrow as we resume our normal class schedule Friday, January 8th. We’ll be reminding you all to stay vigilant, follow our distancing and mask policies and continue to clean your equipment. We are hopeful these were isolated cases and we can continue to provide you with a safe place to be fit, clear your minds and connect with some awesome people.  

Speaking of awesome people, most of you have probably seen the Cove Club post that Katie F. is canceling the Kid’s classes and Sunday yoga for now.  Due to some personal choices, the Covid climate and schedule shifts, she is doing what’s best for her.  We only want what’s best for each of you and this is certainly true for Katie.  She is core to this place and we respect her decision immensely. We do not have a clear plan right not to provide the outlets her sessions offered to you and our Cove kiddos, but we are working on it.

As always, stay tuned to this page and to the Cove Club for any and all updates.  Thank you all for the community and support you offer us — and each other!

 

TEMPORARY GYM CLOSURE

TEMPORARY GYM CLOSURE
 
We cannot apologize enough for the disruption of the gym closing, but I hope you’ll understand why we felt compelled to do so. As you know, there have been isolated cases in the gym before that we did not feel warranted a large scale closure. But in this instance, not only did we have two Covid cases, but what makes this different is the breadth of their contact points.
 
While hate seeing anyone in this community have to take on Covid, the last thing we want is to create any opportunity for further spread. After discussing it as a team, we, and the coaching staff, felt that the best thing to do to avoid any potential outbreak would be to close for a period of time. For us, that means enough time so that those who were exposed could have time to monitor for symptoms and time be tested — and allowed us to do a deep clean and re-visit safety procedures.
 
To that end, Marina and I will likely be coaching all classes on Friday and Saturday (this could change too per above). In complete transparency, so that you can make a decision that is best for you, we traveled to Mexico to Marina’s mom’s house this past week. We stayed in her home, which has been unoccupied for months, with only our family of four (her mom was not there). We dined outside only and our only proximity to other people was in the airport and plane (where we adhered to social distancing required and masked 100% of the time). We arrived home yesterday, I tested while away and tested today and Marina will retest Wednesday. The test away was negative and if both tests come back negative in the States we will be at the gym. We tell you this because we want to serve those who want/need to get to the gym, but also provide as much information and context so you can make the most educated choice for you. We expect things back to normal (is there such a thing?) by Monday.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Schedule Changes (1/5 & 1/6)

Classes Canceled (1/5 & 1/6)
 
As some of you know we’ve recently had two members of the cove community test positive for Covid-19.
Out of an abundance of caution, we will be canceling classes tomorrow (1/5) and Wednesday (1/6).
 
There will likely be impacts to the schedule for the remainder of the week as well. We are closely monitoring the situation and working on safe solutions. More info to come soon.
 
Check back here for periodic updates and on the Cove Club Facebook page for the most up to date information. We know this is a blow, especially at the start of the new year, but your health and safety is our number one priority. 
 
For the time being, we will be providing at-home programming options, and don’t forget about all of the Engine Express at-home workouts on our Youtube channel!
