OTF Pleasant Hill
Donation protected
As you know, due to the tragic COVID-19 epidemic and pursuant to the recommendations of state and local authorities, we have had to temporarily close our beloved Orangetheory Fitness Pleasant Hill studio on March 16.
To ensure that we can sustain the viability of the company through this crisis, the owners had to make the very tough decision to temporarily layoff more than 80% of our staff, which they intend to rehire the team as soon as we can reopen. While the company generously offered to pay the wages for all hours and classes scheduled through the end of March, we know now that this crisis will last for weeks beyond that, and state unemployment benefits will not come close to fully replacing their income.
Many of you have generously asked what you can do to help. We are not asking for nor do we expect donations, but we also realize that many of you have personal relationships with our team, so if you are feeling generous and would like support your coaches and staff, you can make a donation to the staff’s GoFundMe page. No donations will go to the company. All donations will go directly to the laid off employees and be split equally between them. Any gift, however big or small, will make a meaningful impact to your studio team during this unusual time of need. We promise to return the generosity in the days ahead, in our way, when we can. ❤️
