New Location Updates and Crush Cancer Reminders

October 06, 2015 - 1:00PM
THE BIG MOVE
We are officially out of our old space. The move is in progress. We hit some snags that were completely out of our control. Many of you have been enjoying the outside workouts at the Baldwin Hill Stairs over the past week. We know it’s not the same and an amended schedule by comparison, but we’re doing what we can to keep you guys moving and sweating! We will be having a limited schedule for a short while longer (see more info below). We wish we could be more specific on times, but we will continue to update you through social media as things settle.

Due to the unforeseen hold ups, we will be issuing a partial refund to every member with a Platinum level membership (unlimited classes).
 
Members with a limited class amount will not lose any of their classes for the month of October. Though one week has passed, those classes are still available until October 31st. Feel free to come in on extra days to take advantage of those remaining classes.

 
TEMPORARY LIMITED CLASS SCHEDULE
Beginning Monday, October 5 we will offer the following classes:
6:30am
7:30am
12:30pm
4:30pm
5:30pm
6:30pm
7:30pm

7:30pm classes will be help according to our regular schedule:
Monday - CrossFit
Tuesday - Olympic Lifting
Wednesday - Gymnastics
Thursday - Olympic Lifting
Friday - CrossFit
 
In addition to the limited schedule, clients wishing to do their private or accessory programming must contact Dusty via email (dusty@dogtowncrossfit.com) to see if there is any available time/space. We will add more classes back in as soon as we can!
 
 
NEW LOCATION
3456 Motor Ave, Suite F
Los Angeles, CA 90034
 
Say hello to our new home! Our new space is at the corner of Motor Ave and Palms Blvd., across the street from Palms Elementary School, and approximately 2 miles from our old space on La Cienega Blvd.
 
If you’re in need of a caffeine fix check out our new neighborhood coffee shop, The Commissary. It is across the street on Motor Ave.
 
 
PARKING
There is garage parking available. The ramp to the parking structure is in the alley just NE of the intersection of Motor and Palms. Be aware the second level is for the upstairs tenants. There is a second gate. It is usually closed, but just in case don’t go in even if its open or you are likely to get locked in. There is also street parking available on both Motor Ave and Palms Blvd. Be sure to check the signs as much of the street parking on Motor Ave is 1 hour.
 
 
SIGNING IN
As a client it is your responsibility to sign in to class. As of October 1, 2015, every class now has a cap. However, you can now sign up for your classes ahead of time! You may also access your Front Desk account to sign in to classes on the same day of arrival. All classes will be capped at 16 spaces.

********************************ADDED INFO********************************

To sign up:
Visit www.dogtowncrossfit.frontdeskhq.com
Sign Up or Sign In
Click "Schedule"
Select desired day (current week only)
Select diesired class time
Click "Enroll"

Use the same steps to remove yourself from a class. You may sign up for the week (Monday-Sunday) beginning at 12pm on Sunday. If you sign up for any classes beyond the week you will be removed and will need to sign up again on the appropriate Sunday.

********************************************************************************
 
As a member, it is your responsibility to sign in every time you come to the gym. If you’re taking class, Crossfit, Olympic lifting, and Gymnastics all included, sign in for that class. If you’re taking two classes in one day, sign in for both classes. If you’re working out during open gym hours, sign in for that as well. If you’re in on Sunday, sign in. If you’re doing private programming, there’s an option for that as well so sign in. You get the idea.
 
Please make sure you have accepted your Front Desk account. You received an email with a link to access this account when you first signed up (or when we first moved you from our old software to Front Desk). If you no longer have this or are not sure how to access your account, visit the front desk next time you’re in this week and let us help you out. You will need this access in order to sign up for your classes. Please email Kelly (kelly@dogtowncrossfit.com) to request your link be emailed to you again.
 
NEW FEES FOR FAILURE TO SIGN IN:
There is a new $5 fee for not signing up/in for class. If you have not signed up ahead of time for a class and there are spots available when you arrive, you must sign in for class. Failure to sign up/in will result in a $5 fee charged to your account. This fee will occur each time there is a failure to sign in.

There is also a new $5 fee for signing up for a class ahead of time and not attending. This does not mean you can’t change your mind. You can easily remove yourself from a class in the same way you signed up ahead of time. This is to keep the 16 spaces open for those who wish to come to class. 
 

PERSONAL PROGRAMMING
While we are feeling out our new space and how it best works, please be aware that the availability for time and space to complete this outside work will be extremely limited if available at all. We will try to accommodate when we can, but this must be set up ahead of time via email to Dusty (dusty@dogtowncrossfit.com).
 
 
CANCELLATION FEE UPDATE & REMINDER
Every membership has a length of term. You have chosen this length. Any early termination of a membership requires a minimum 30-day notice in writing. This may be accomplished via email to Kelly (kelly@dogtowncrossfit.com). Every early termination is subject to a cancellation fee. This cancellation fee is a minimum of $50 per month remaining on the term.

GENERAL GYM REMINDERS:
 
 
PRIVATE PROGRAMMING
For clients who have personal programming or follow an additional type of programming throughout the week in addition to DogTown classes…
 
Our scheduled classes have priority for equipment as well as space. Understand that just because you want to do your programming at a certain time does not guarantee you will be able to complete your programming at that time. If the class requires equipment or space you are using, you will need to pause your workout until the equipment/space is free again. We have Open Gym hours that are great for getting your private programming in. Especially be aware that Monday and Tuesday nights at 5:30p and 6:30p and Saturday morning at 9:30a tend to be our busiest classes. Please try to schedule your accessory workouts accordingly. Thank you.
