Dear FITNESS:1440- Lebanon Members,
I wanted to take a minute and update everyone, and give thanks for all the support we have received over the past few weeks, and even more so over the 6 years our business has been open here in Lebanon. Our members are absolutely the best and have big hearts! After my father passed away unexpectedly from complications of diabetes, I decided to start my first club. This has now been over 8 years ago. The goal was to help give an inviting atmosphere to change peoples lives for the better. I wanted to people to feel comfortable and to feel like they had a solution that would make them WANT to be the healthiest and most stress free. All of us in the industry know what benefits come from working out… stress relief and a strong social community being a few of them. Heaven knows we all need that right now.
During this time of craziness and uncertainty, we tried everything in our power to stay open while remaining compliant with guidelines set by Local, State, and Federal officials. This is very difficult in a gym setting, but we figured out solutions and squeaked out a little more time for people to get what they truly need. As you already may know, we did end up making the very difficult decision to temporarily close the gym this last Saturday morning. (We are optimistic in the duration of this) We knew the situation was getting worse in the country and we needed to do our part to keep our members and staff safe, but more importantly the vulnerable community members. We also knew more strict measures that would ultimately force us to close, were imminent. This has been difficult. Very! Not only on us as a business, but we know a lot of members rely on us for their own mental and physical well being, and at this time, could really use a safe space for that.
A quote I found very suiting for these times is this-
“If you have a strong mind you will always find a way out of no way” @#gymaholic
I truly hope this helps inspire you to keep positive and find a way. This will come to an end someday. Remember… WE ALL are in this together. We all will need to help each other out.
We are working to get you content and support, even though our physical doors are closed. Virtual classes have been started and we are working to put together other tips, videos, and home workouts, to help you while you look for ways to modify and adapt in your own home. I truly believe your mental health right now is a huge part of getting out of this in one piece. The content that we will give is also available for ANYONE in the community that needs it. Please invite them to join! We have set up a new Facebook group- Lebanon, Oregon Community- COVID-19 Quarantine At-Home Fitness

Option:
1440 Family, during this virtual period, you have the option to keep your membership active or have us freeze your account until we reopen. If you can, are able, and want to support our business and our employees, we ask that you keep your membership active. We intend to pay all salaried employees their full salary during the brick and mortar closure and take care of the rest of our team the best we can. We can only hope to open our doors to you again in 2 weeks, but we will stay in touch and continue to find ways to support you until it is time to return. Additionally, as a thank you for supporting our staff, and ultimately the fate of this gym, anyone who continues to keep their membership active will receive 1 of your favorite cooler drinks for FREE added to your account. Plus we will offer you a choice of 1 month of Tanning, 1 month of the Massage Bed, 50% off any one supplement, and an offer of 20% off personal training, good through the end of the 2020 year.
The option to freeze your membership until we re-open is available for those who want or need to. To freeze your account please email, freeze@team1440.com
For the most up to date information check our social media pages and website. For general questions, please email lebanon@Fitness1440.com. We will do everything we can to get to them as soon as possible.
Again, I want to thank you in advance for all understanding, patience, support, and encouragement. It has been really great to have members like you that help us continue to be there for you when you need us. We ask that all good vibes and help you can give any of your fellow humans, and local businesses be most freely given at this time.
