Member Survey

Sixty of you have provided us with invaluable feedback through our online Member Survey...thank you!  Based on what we have received thus far, we would like to begin doing certain things differently, offering more classes & programs and generally just becoming even better than we already are as trainers, as a gym and as a community (who would've even thought it was possible?!)

We will continue to evaluate the feedback you are providing.  If you have yet to fill it out the survey, please do so and let us have it!  In the meantime, be on the lookout for a new and improved CFGC. 

The Member Survey can be found here: Member Survey.

Winter Cleaning Nutrition Challenge

Herondale Farms Meat CSA

We received our first delivery of pasture-raised, grass-fed beef, pork and lamb yesterday.  If you are interested but have yet to sign up, there is still time!  Either send the completed form back to Christine or if you have not received her email, speak with Dennis or Mike and we can get you everything you need. 

Class Reservations

Thank you to everyone for continuing to reserve a spot in class.  We recognize that our classes continue to grow and certain class times are ALWAYS full.  That said, here are a few reminders regarding class reservations:

• You can reserve a spot in class 48 hours before the class start time
• If the class is full, add yourself to the waitlist
• If you are on the waitlist, come to class.  You will be able to participate unless it is logistically impossible or unsafe to allow you to participate.
• If you reserve a spot in class and then decide that you are unable to make it, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE remember to cancel your reservation prior to the start of the class.  It frees up space for someone else that would like to reserve a spot but otherwise would not be able to. 

And yes, the Member Survey said it loud and clear...WE NEED A BIGGER GYM!  Rest assured, we are working on it.
