UPDATE, UPDATE, TIME FOR AN UPDATE

May 16 • Lobby

Friends, Americans, North Country Folk, lend me your eyes!

Alright, enough of that. There's a lot going on over the next few weeks and you're going to want to read this post to be up to date.

As usual, for the tl;dr:

GO Members App is changing.
The Summer Quest is almost here!
Renovations update
Staffing changes
Content explosion

First up, GO Members, the app that we use to schedule your sessions and process payments, is getting replaced by its parent company. So because they've partnered with a new company they're requiring that everyone using their system migrate to the new one (I've used it, it's much better). The migration is set for the 19th. So we will be scrambling to get this taken care of this weekend! During your sessions this week (near the second half of the week) we will be helping you set up the new app and get logged in. If you have questions, comments, concerns, or pictures of cute animals feel free to shoot us a text on the business phone.

The new app is going to make a lot of things easier for you: Easier booking, better progress tracking, ability to manage your membership, and a lot more. Keep an eye on your email over the next few days, and make sure to whitelist me (al@bjornfitness.com) so that it doesn't appear as spam in your email. The day after it goes live you'll be able to log in and access it, so you'll get the link that day.

Second, it's almost time for the Summer Quest! Keep an eye out for hints about what's to come.

Third, I've spoken to some of the maintenance guys about the renovations. Timeline hasn't changed much, but they've already built the outline of what will become our new showers and bathrooms. We'll likely start in earnest around July or August!

Fourth, our dear Maire has graduated! Congratulations! This does mean that she will no longer be able to work as a part of the team here at Bjorn. To those for whom she writes programs, don't fear! She will continue to write your programs for the next few months until she begins graduate school in the fall semester. But we have added two new apprentices to the team! Welcome

@Kate Cruikshank

and

@Kaitlyn Luther

! We are very excited whenever an adventurer graduates here at Bjorn, but when an adventurer tells us that they want to become shape smiths we can't help but jump for joy!

The two of them will spend some time learning how to coach the way that helps you achieve your goals faster, but the brilliant thing is they know from first hand experience what it is like to be an adventurer here at Bjorn, and thus have a unique perspective within the team that can only help you. I do ask that you be patient with the both of them as the learning curve from apprentice to Shapesmith is a bit like drinking an ocean out of a firehose.

Fifth, and last. CONTENT EXPLOSION. Tyler and I are ramping up our content production over the next few weeks. Our YouTube channel, our course page, our website blog, and our instagram (as well as my own personal channels) are about to get a content explosion. This is years in the making, as I have tried to get around to making content consistently since I was 24 years old. Now that I've had 7 years of starts-and-stops, I feel we finally have the bandwidth and the resources to actually make it happen. So the foot is down, you're about to learn a whole lot about this fitness stuff, and if you can find my private channels, you're about to learn a lot about my private philosophy as well. This is gonna be fun!
