Week of 3/11/2019

REMINDER: Don’t forget to enter your scores online for the Open!

We once again had a big week for CFD!  We have several new members joining from on-ramp.  Please make sure to introduce yourselves and show them just how awesome you all are.  It was not that long ago you all were the newbie so you know how that feels.  Take every opportunity to show them how great our community is!  Also with CFD growing is an ever pressing need for classes to be managed properly.  The general trend is starting to get bad once again regarding class reservations and cancelations.  So here is the plan…  Though we do not want to impose a punishment it seems like we many need to.  The best solution we were able to come up with is as follows:

·        Reserve your spot in class a minimum of 1 hour before class begins.

·        Cancel your spot in class a minimum of 1 hour before class begins.

·        If the above is not adhered to a $5 fee will be assigned to your account.

o   The fee will go towards buying more equipment for CFD.

We realize your initial reaction to this policy change may be to get upset.  Please realize that we are doing this to try to make CFD better for everyone.  View your class reservation as any other appointment.  You would not cancel on your eye doctor, dentist, or dinner reservation 15min before you’re set to be there.  In our opinion this is even worse!  It’s an appointment with yourself (perhaps why it’s so easy to cancel).  This is your time set aside for yourself to improve your quality of life.  Have fun, move, and blow some steam off with friends.  Our hope is that this small penalty fee will help you to think twice before skipping class.  At a minimum you can rest well knowing that you are helping to make CFD better!  Lastly, please realize that canceling less than 1 hour before class start time robs the opportunity for attendance of someone else.  Rare are the individuals that can drop everything they are doing to attend class within the hour.  We as people like to plan.  Help your fellow members by helping to pack our classes.  Thank you all for your understanding and please reach out with any and all questions.  This new policy will go into effect starting Monday April 1st 2019.

We changed the class attendance to 15 for all classes. This means if we do have 15 athletes at a class and there are front squats programmed, you will have to share a spot at the rig. This is just an example. We know CFD members are great, so this will not be an issue.

What happens if all reservations are taken?

  • If a class is out of reservations, athletes can join a waitlist
  • If an athlete with a reservation cancels their reservation, an email notification is sent to everyone on the waitlist
  • The open slot in the class is filled on a first come first serve basis
  • When the slot is filled, an email is sent to the remaining waitlist members explaining the class is now closed
