HELP CIRCUIT THREE SURIVE DURING QUARANTINE
Donation protected
Circuit Three opened in February of 2020, excited to show the public a new and exciting way to get great results through fitness. We had an incredible turnout in the first month and grew to almost 120 members.
Like any new small business, we have a plan to become successful - and a big foundation of that is membership growth in the first six months. As you can imagine with the current Virus and us being required to close by the Governor - this has de-railed our plans.
Only six weeks after opening, we are forced to answer questions we never thought possible - how do we continue to employ our trainers, pay rent, and grow to a point of profit - while our business is closed? The answer is, we simply can't.
While there are many proposed measures for businesses to receive aid during this time - the bottom line is that the smallest businesses will be last in line. And we just don't have that kind of time, if the aid is substantial enough to make a difference at all.
While most businesses base their sales monthly, in the fitness industry, our memberships are based on annual sales. If only closed for 6 weeks, we estimate to lose not only the costs of paying our employees while closed, but we will also sustain a $30,000 annual loss. As you can imagine, for our business and many others - these types of losses will add up so quickly, the money may just run out before we get any kind of 'aid'.
Today we are asking you to invest into the future of Circuit Three. We have calculated that if we hit this goal of $20,000 by April 1, we will be able to insure we can at least keep everyone and everything paid till we can get open again; we want to be there for our employees in a very hard time. After that, we still anticipate new memberships to be much slower than normal, however we think that this can gain us enough time to make it till we can receive aid later.
If you are a member of Circuit Three, we are asking you to extend your current agreement either 6 months for $500, or 12 months for $900. You may also purchase one of these Pay-In-Full options for a friend, which the membership will not start till we are open again. We will also graciously accept any donations.
In advance, we thank everyone for the support. Circuit Three is a special community of great people, and we look forward to the future.
