After 14 years here in Burlington we are saddened to announce that Optimal Sport Health Club will be closing at the end of June. We have tried for the past 16 months to find a way to make it through all of this, but the reality is the bills and obligations never went away and for the most part were still due or only deferred. It has become clear that even with the restrictions finally lifted it would take us years to get our membership numbers back to pre shutdown levels, not to mention covering the deficit we would find ourselves in by continuing to stay open.
Optimal is not like your average chain gym. We pride ourselves on having created a community. We want to thank every one of our members who stuck with us over the years. Whether you walked up the creepy dark mall entrance, joined when we moved into this middle of nowhere industrial park or kept voluntarily paying to workout via intermitent facebook live classes from your living room. You never had to scan into Optimal, because we knew who you were. We are sorry we couldn't keep it going for you.
We (Steve and Steven) would like to thank all the staff over the years. Thanks to those who kept on teaching and training during and after this year. No one here does this because they need the paycheck. They do this because they love what they are doing and the people. We appreciate everything they did to try and keep this going. We will be updating everyone on where your favorite instructors and trainers land over the next few weeks. A special thank you to Toby, Lori and Barb; we would have been closed way before this without all of you.
Now for the technical stuff. We will be closing the last full week in June. Memberships will stop billing June 10th. Any membership that is paid in full will be refunded accordingly. Any monthly training will be prorated to line up to our closing. Any large training packages that are still valid will be refunded. WE ARE IN NO WAY TRYING TO NOT HONOR ANY PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS TO MEMBERS. Night classes and weekend morning classes will continue until June 26th. The online scheduler and website will not be accessible after May. There are no longer any size restrictions on class, back to just showing up.
We hope that this doesn’t stop you all from continuing your fitness journey. May you find someplace as close knit and comfortable as Optimal has been . Once again thank you to everyone who helped us throughout. 14 years is something to be proud about.
