CFIE Members,
Please take a moment to read the message from Raising The Bar Fitness below.
RTB was given very little notice from the current building owners regarding this situation and let us know as soon as they were informed. While this certainly wasn't something any of us expected, we have hit the ground running to ensure little to no gap in your fitness.
Please know that our coaching team is already working hard to secure a temporary home for CFIE while construction of the new Raising The Bar Fitness facility is completed, which is currently expected in late 2026 or early 2027. We anticipate having an update on our temporary location very soon and will share details as soon as everything is finalized.
Although this was an unexpected curveball, we're choosing to focus on the opportunities it creates.
A few positives we're already seeing:
• No more strategically placed buckets catching rainwater during workouts.
• One less temptation from the neighboring donut shop.
• A chance to experiment with different equipment layouts that may help us optimize the setup in our future home.
• Moving equipment is basically a functional fitness workout...we've been training for this.
• It'll give us another opportunity to come together as a community during moving days (many hands make light work!).
• We'll get a fresh environment and a chance to make the temporary space feel like home.
• This is one more chapter in the CFIE story that we'll be able to look back on someday, knowing it was all part of building something even better.
• Most importantly, CFIE has never been about a building—it's about the people. The workouts, friendships, encouragement, and community will continue no matter where we put the barbells.
We truly appreciate everyone's patience, flexibility, and positive attitude as we work through this transition. The end result is going to be worth it, and we're excited for the incredible facility that awaits us. Until then, we'll keep doing what we've always done—show up, work hard, support each other, and have a little fun along the way.
Thanks for being the best community around!
