It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce the closure of CrossFit Chowchilla. January will be our final month. This decision has not come lightly. I've gone back and forth about it for the last year. Our membership was hit hard in 2020-2021 and we just haven't recovered. I've been making ends meet for over a year via savings and personal finances unfortunately that well has dried up. The success stories and close relationships have kept me going putting everything I have into keeping the doors open at our second home. Unfortunately, it's come down to keeping the gym open or my family afloat. I've researched other options but none have come through and we don't have the membership to support a move to a new location.
It's been hard because I feel like I'm letting our community down . Each time I’ve teetered because business would pick up, or I would somehow be reminded by a member about how important our box was to them or members would share with me their goals, hopes and dreams, and successes. Members grew to be more than just that and real friendships developed. Friendships that I hope will last.
Helping , coaching and encouraging everyone to reach their goals has been a large part of my life for the past 5 years and I will miss it greatly.
Thank you to all the members who have stuck with us all these years as well as our newest members. Your friendship and dedication have been greatly appreciated and have pulled me through many trying times.
What happens Now:
Our last day of operations will be January 28th
Members will have prorated charges to reflect the shorter month.
We will begin selling equipment in January, The items we rarely use will go first , then everything else. Members will get first pick and can reserve equipment they want.
I will be posting a price list along with item availability in early January.
Again I'm very sorry it's come to this, I hope we can all get together in the future. In the mean time it would be greatly appreciated if you could post some memories of yours at CFC over the years.
