The Counterpunch Boxing Club

Hi everyone! 😊🥊

Just a little update as we get closer to the end of summer!

Our regular class schedule will officially be back starting Monday, August 31st! We’re excited to get everyone back into their normal classes and ready for another busy season at The Counterpunch. ❤️

As many of you know, summer is usually a slower season for us. Over the past few years, we’ve noticed attendance and memberships drop during the summer months as families are away camping, travelling and enjoying their holidays. This year, the slowdown was especially noticeable, which is why Coach Philip and I made the decision in August to temporarily combine some of our classes and reduce our operating hours.

We also want to apologize for how quickly the summer schedule change happened this year. It was something we decided fairly suddenly after seeing how much attendance had dropped, and we understand that the short notice may have been inconvenient for some of our members.

Going forward, we now have a much better idea of how we can manage the slower summer months. Starting next year, we plan to have a summer schedule from May through August, and we’ll make sure to announce it well ahead of time so everyone has plenty of notice and can plan around it.

Now that summer is wrapping up, we’d also really appreciate your help spreading the word about The Counterpunch! 🥊

If you have a friend, family member, coworker or someone you know who has ever wanted to try boxing, please invite them to come check us out. Their first class is FREE, so they can simply come in, try a class and see if boxing is something they enjoy.

Even sharing one of our posts or telling someone about the gym really helps. Bringing some new faces into the gym as we come out of the slower summer season will help us get caught back up with our regular operating expenses and continue doing what we love — providing boxing programs and serving our community.

We truly appreciate everyone who continues to train with us and support our little boxing club. Your support means a lot to us. ❤️

Regular schedule is back Monday, August 31st! 🥊

Thank you everyone, and we’ll see you at the gym!

⚡ POWER RESTORED – WE’RE BACK! 🥊

Great news — our power has been restored! 🙌
We currently have temporary electrical service in place while the issue involving the Site ID/meter information for our units continues to be investigated and corrected. Most importantly, we now have power and can get back to boxing! 🥊

We want to sincerely thank all of our members and families for your patience, understanding, and support while we worked through this unexpected situation. We know the closure affected your classes and schedules, and we truly appreciate everyone being so understanding.

We are also working on providing an appropriate membership credit to all of our monthly members for the classes affected by the closure. We will provide more information once everything has been finalized.
Thank you again for sticking with us while we worked to get the gym back up and running. ❤️

Regular classes will resume on Tuesday. See you all back at the gym! 🥊❤️

NOTICE – TEMPORARY CLOSURE

Due to an unexpected power issue, our electricity has been temporarily disconnected. Our power provider is currently working to resolve the issue; however, we have been advised that it may take up to 72 hours for our service to be re-enrolled and restored.

Unfortunately, we will need to remain closed until our power has been restored.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding. We will provide an update as soon as our power is back on and we are able to reopen.

Thank you for your understanding,
The Counterpunch Boxing Club

📢 Summer Class Schedule Update

Hi everyone!

First, we'd like to apologize for the short notice. This new schedule will take effect next week. Since we don't have classes this coming Monday due to the holiday, we wanted to let everyone know as soon as possible so you have time to plan ahead.

As many of you know, for the past three years, our gym has experienced a significant drop in attendance every summer. To help reduce our operating costs during the slower season, we've decided to run a compressed summer schedule from May through August each year.

This means:
● Some classes will be combined with other classes.
● Class days and times may be adjusted.
● Running fewer days each week helps us reduce our electricity and water costs while continuing to provide quality training.

We also believe this schedule will be more convenient for many members. Since a lot of families leave on Fridays for the weekend or holidays and don't return until Monday, having classes on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday means you're less likely to miss training because of long weekends or holiday travel.

Our regular full schedule will return every September when attendance picks back up.

Thank you all for your understanding and continued support. Your support helps keep our club going, and we truly appreciate every one of you. We look forward to seeing everyone in class! 🥊❤️

❤️ Seeing a post like this is heartbreaking.
As a small business ourselves, we know exactly how this feels. Starting a business from scratch is never easy, and summer can be especially challenging. Between vacations, camping trips, sports, and families spending more time outdoors, many local businesses experience a slowdown this time of year.
There were times when we wondered if we would make it through another month. Two years later, we're still here because of the incredible support from our members, friends, and community. Without them, The Counterpunch Boxing Club wouldn't be where it is today.
That's why we'd like to help spread the word for another local business that needs our community's support right now. No business owner wants to make a post like this. It takes courage to ask for help, and we know how difficult that can be.
If you've never visited them before, please consider stopping by and checking out what they have to offer. If you can't make it in, a simple share of their post can go a long way. Every purchase, every recommendation, and every share helps.
Let's show MountainView Trading Post some community love and support. ❤️
