Pipeworks Barbell Club

Due to recent comments by the CEO of CrossFit, Touchstone Climbing and our CrossFit instructors have made the mutual decision to end our affiliation with the CrossFit brand. We’re not yet sure what its future will be, but we look forward to moving into it with you. We will share more details about this change as we begin reopening the gyms.

Dear Touchstone Climbing Community, After much difficult deliberation we have decided to temporarily close all Touchstone gyms tomorrow, March 16th, and remain closed through the end of March. In times of crisis, we turn to family, friends, and the things that ground us. The gym is all of that to us. It had been our hope to provide a place where we can prioritize our health when we all need it most, but it is clear that we must now take drastic action to combat the COVID-19 p...andemic. We plan to continue to pay our front desk staff and routesetters during this closure. We ask those of you who are financially able to stick with us in these difficult times to continue your memberships. This support will not go unrecognized; we are already brainstorming a cool way to thank you when this crisis is over. If you are unable to maintain your membership, we understandall freezes through March will be free, and we will issue a credit through the remainder of the month to those who request it through this online form: https://touchstoneclimbing.com/my-account/ Please be patient while we process your request. We will be reassessing the situation daily. While the details may change, these are our current goals: * For the next two days, Monday and Tuesday, we will have a person on staff at the gym during normal business hours whom you can call with questions. * Starting Wednesday, March 18th, we will have a person on staff 10a6p. * During this time we will deep clean the gyms and equipment. *We aim to reopen April 1st. Throughout all of this, we have been overwhelmed by your support, patience, and understanding. Your response has been a bright light amid these uncertain times. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being a part of our community. Best, Touchstone Climbing See more

We are sorry to announce that in response to the viral event, starting tomorrow, Saturday the 14th we will not offer any group classes, including CrossFit. The WOD will continue to be posted and the box will now be open at all times for those who want to do the WOD on their own. In addition, for the foreseeable future we will accommodate members only - no non-members and no guests of members. Please read our official statement below: Dear Touchstone Community, After carefully... considering our responsibility to customer and employee safety, we have decided to temporarily suspend nonmember access to all Touchstone gyms starting Saturday, March 14. (This includes member guest pass users.) We are also canceling all group yoga and fitness classes. Given current state and federal guidelines, as well as recommendations by experts in the field, we recognize that our goal is no longer containment of COVID-19, but mitigation. We are doing our part to flatten the curve by enacting practices that spread out the likelihood of exposure over time, thus avoiding overwhelming our healthcare providers and putting us in a better position to manage our broader response to the pandemic. It is our belief that we can continue to provide an important service to the health and wellbeing of our members through conditionally and carefully maintained operations. Gym hours and member access will remain unchanged, and we are working on streaming online yoga classes from some of your favorite instructors starting next week. For those of you who would like to continue using the gyms, we remind you to please follow the Center for Disease Control guidelines: Please don’t come to the gym if you are ill, for at least a week after becoming ill, and a minimum of 24 hours after fever and symptoms have gone away. When you cough or sneeze, always turn away from other people and be sure to cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or use the inside of your elbow. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. Wash your hands often with soap and hot water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Everyone at Touchstone has been working around the clock to respond to the rapidly changing developments of this public health crisis. Responding to COVID-19 requires diligence and flexibility on all of our parts. Policies may continue to change as we get more information. Thank you for your understanding in these trying times; most of all, thank you for being a part of our community. See more
