TJ's Gym Weekly News 4/19/20
Can’T WAIT TO GET BACK TO THIS!
We will likely start offering outdoor group workouts before we can offer them indoors. We can’t wait to see your faces, live and in-person!
NEW SIP MEMBERSHIP STRUCTURE!
We hope this finds you all safe and well and managing the anxiety we all face as we collectively navigate these unchartered waters!
We have some important updates regarding temporary business operations. Our Zoom classes, Zoom class recordings, at-home workouts with coaching by TJ, and equipment loans will all be fee-for-service moving forward. We will continue to offer a weekly seminar for the public, with topics to include at-home fitness and wellness for ages 65+ (this week) to optimal nutrition, to mobility/flexibility, to psychological coping, etc. Our fitness-delivery services will all be membership-based. Here is how we are handling our memberships:
Current monthly members: Now that we are a month into SIP, monthly members are coming due for their second payments with online classes and at-home workouts. In lieu of charging those memberships, we are offering a new menu of SIP offerings. All monthly members will receive an email ahead of due dates (some in the next 24 hours) outlining the options. As they come due for monthly charges, current monthly memberships will be put on hold, to resume when our normal in-gym operations are made available again. If you are a current member, no need to make any changes yet. You will be sent access to Zoom recordings by the end of tonight (Sunday, April 19).
Current class pack holders: We will also be emailing all class pack holders with our new online offerings. Current class pack expirations will be extended by one month (equal to the time missed). If you want access to Zoom classes or At-Home workout videos, you can choose a membership below.
ADULT ZOOM CLASS ACCESS AND RECORDINGS: $125/month
(membership comes with access to weekly nutrition Zoom calls, schedules TBD weekly. This week it will be held Thursday 4/23 at 1pm)
We plan to continue offering four adult Zoom classes daily, Monday-Friday with one on Saturdays and one on Sundays. Schedules may change slightly, but for now we’ve got this:
Monday-Friday: 6am, 8am, 12pm, 4:30pm
Saturday: 8am
Sunday: 9am* *NOTE TIME CHANGE
Zoom members will also have exclusive access to all Zoom class recordings.
Please see equipment rental policy below!
TEENS AND KIDS ZOOM CLASS ACCESS AND RECORDINGS: $99/month per household

Saturdays: 12pm teens
LEGENDS (AGE 65+) ZOOM CLASS ACCESS $99/month

AT-HOME WORKOUTS WITH COACHING FROM TJ: $49/month
We will offer 7 workouts per week, with links to YouTube videos that are private and accessible only to members. Videos include movement demos plus coaching tips from TJ.
EQUIPMENT RENTAL: only available to monthly members (either Zoom or At-Home)
$25/mo for all gear outside of rowers or Airdynes
$25/mo for rower or Airdyne
$50 for gear plus rower or Airdyne
PLEASE NOTE: If you currently have borrowed equipment at home and don’t plan to continue with a membership of any kind or do not wish to pay the extra fee for equipment rental, we will ask that you return what you have borrowed, so we have stock for members. We’d love to let you keep it, but, sadly, everything is a hot commodity right now!
LIFESTYLE AND ACCOUNTABILITY WITH TJ: $260/month
This program gives you access to TJ as your fitness/wellness/lifestyle/nutrition coach. Weekly call plus email/text check-ins as needed.
ONLINE PERSONAL TRAINING:
The following coaches are currently available for online private workouts:
TJ, Nick, Dana, and Maddie. Rates available on request to allison@tjsgym.com.
HAPPY HOURS: FREE TO MEMBERS!
Happy Hour schedules to be posted weekly in blog (see below). We encourage you to join these Zoom gatherings based on typical class attendance times, so you can see your gym buddies, but all members are welcome to all happy hours. See below for details.
FINAL NOTE: Based on what we are hearing in press conferences and through news outlets, it is likely that we will be permitted to have a very soft opening some time in May but maybe not until June, with limitations on numbers in the gym at once. We will continue to offer our online memberships even as we are allowed to open in a limited way. It may be that we end up offering a combination of memberships; we will adapt as we get more information.
Thank you all for your continued support, and please reach out at allison@tjsgym.com with questions or to access a membership option!
Be well,
Allison and TJ
HAPPY HOURS FOR TJ’s MEMBERS!
Missing your gym buddies? We thought it would be fun and therapeutic to designate times for certain classes to meet on Zoom and just shoot the bull. Members are welcome to come any time, but we are encouraging regulars of certain times/locations to come together. See this week’s schedule here, and look out for more next week! This week we have San Rafael Nooners and Mill Valley and Corte Madera Afternooners/Evening Crew!

check out Dine11 Marin!
Some local friends, including some TJ’s Gym members, have started a branch of Dine11, a non-profit feeding healthcare workers while save struggling restaurants. Every dollar raised will be directly donated to Marin-based restaurants we all love to make delicious, free meals for hard-working doctors, nurses and crucial healthcare staff on the front lines during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation at Dine11Marin.org. If you can’t donate, you can also volunteer to deliver meals.
