We feel so very proud and fortunate to have propelled health and wellness in the Winter Park community over the last several years. We reflect fondly on the lives we have changed, careers we have launched, businesses we have inspired, and people we have employed. We measure that community impact in improved lives, amplified movement, charitable service, degrees earned by student team members, and other critical social impact metrics.
Our time at our current Winter Park location is coming to an end on Sunday, September 24th. The lure of higher rental rates and national tenants is strong. We have not been able to negotiate a fair path forward with our landlord via their management company Bishop Beale. That path is daunting with the lingering workforce challenges, expenses artificially rising, and the projected arrival of the 90,000 square foot Life Time Fitness across the street. We have managed those expenses previously without passing along increases to our members, but the current rent increases are unjustified. Placing the location at the highest per square foot rate in Winter Park and rivaling the highest in greater Orlando.
We are equally excited about enhancements to our Downtown Orlando studio just 5 miles south. With easy access and ample parking; you can enjoy a larger studio with new class times, familiar CyclePros, additional RukusMove classes, and the premier of stand-alone RukusYoga classes. Check out Downtown Orlando's new schedule today, with double the classes! Current memberships can be utilized at any location and we invite you to cause a Rukus with us Downtown! Frequency and types of memberships can be adjusted by emailing us directly at memberships@gocyclenow.com.
We have several days left this week to get that work in! Make sure you join us in Winter Park the next few days before transitioning Downtown. We have been and will continue to look for new right-fit opportunities in Winter Park as we continue on this journey.
Rukus was made with love in Winter Park, and that will never change. 💚
