Support San Carlos Fitness' Outdoor Rebuild

Dear friends and members of San Carlos Fitness,

We'd like to bring you up-to-speed on what's happening with our outdoor workout-area.

Many of you recall we first moved equipment out back during the pandemic. To stay open back then, gyms had to move outside to be less congested, into parking-lots and even up on rooftops. We were blessed to already have a yard attached to our facility and some of you, our friends, helped us out by bringing in pop-up tents for shade. On the elevated blacktop there was a gentle breeze, and a view of our neighborhood shopping center, with the mountain in the background; it was such a nice feel we decided to make it a permanent fixture even after the pandemic was over. We moved more equipment out there, took down the pop-ups, and invested over $20,000 to build a solid patio structure to provide shade and protection from the rain.

But we had to stay open for business if we were going to make it through the pandemic, however long that would be. We could not wait 6 months to pull permits for what we were building.

Recently, after years, the inspector came in and told us we had to tear the whole thing down, submit plans, finally pull permits and then rebuild.

This came as a shock to me and my family, and we were underprepared for it. The outdoor area has become the major selling point of our gym. The gym is our livelihood, as it is a big part of your day-to-day lives, so support us where you can. We want to provide the best member experience possible, especially since we truly love seeing you people, our friends, day-to-day.
