Dear Members,<\/h2>\n

Spring is in the air,\u00a0and\u00a0as everything starts to feel a little lighter this season, our gym community is feeling it too. More high-fives. More small wins. More reasons to keep showing up and\u00a0we’re\u00a0here for it.<\/p>\n

Hi,\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0Nicole, and I recently stepped into the role of\u00a0President of North America\u00a0at\u00a0PureGym. I joined the team because I believe fitness should be easy to access and welcoming to everyone, no matter what point\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0starting from. Less friction, more feel-good movement, and that\u2019s exactly what\u00a0PureGym\u00a0is here to deliver.<\/p>\n

Outside of the gym,\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0a Pilates reformer fan and a runner. And early in my career, I\u00a0worked\u00a0retail and service jobs (my very first was as a barista at\u00a0a Barnes\u00a0& Noble in New York). Those days taught me something I still\u00a0carry:\u00a0when people are busy and stretched thin, small moments of support make\u00a0a huge difference.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s\u00a0the energy I want\u00a0PureGym\u00a0to bring to your day.\u00a0I\u2019ll\u00a0be popping into your\u00a0inbox with\u00a0quick updates on\u00a0what\u2019s\u00a0new,\u00a0what\u2019s\u00a0changing, and a few feel-good moments along the way.<\/p>\n

So\u00a0this week,\u00a0let\u2019s\u00a0start with something\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0see right away at the gym: the entry pods.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1772721060102{margin-right: 10px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Why\u00a0entry\u00a0pods?<\/h2>\n

First, we appreciate your patience with this new way\u00a0to enter\u00a0the gym. We know it takes a little\u00a0getting\u00a0used\u00a0to,\u00a0believe me,\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0been there. But\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0worth it, we promise.<\/p>\n

These entry pods allow us to safely monitor entry and exit, keeping our gyms open 24 hours a day and ensuring who\u2019s in the gym at all times.\u00a0That means more freedom to work out when it actually fits your life.\u00a0And over five million of you have entered and exited the gym with the pods since we launched them!<\/p>\n

We know that working out on YOUR schedule is vital to your success. That flexibility matters. Now that our gyms are open 24 hours, coming earlier or later in the day makes it easier to beat the rush and find a quieter workout\u00a0window, if\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0what\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0into.<\/p>\n

No matter the reason\u2014whether\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a03 PM or 3 AM,\u00a0we’ll\u00a0leave the lights on for you. The entry pods are designed to make getting in and out of the gym as quick and seamless as possible while adding a layer of safety.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1772708913385{margin-right: 10px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

How to\u00a0make friends with the \u201cpod\u201d<\/h3>\n

Step 1:\u00a0Open the\u00a0PureGym\u00a0app<\/p>\n

Step 2:\u00a0Tap\u00a0QR code<\/p>\n

Step 3: Scan QR code\u00a0(at QR reader)<\/p>\n

Step 4:\u00a0Step into pod and wait a few seconds for the second door to open<\/p>\n

Step 5: Step out onto the gym floor\u00a0and get moving<\/p>\n

And getting out works the same way. Open, tap, scan.\u00a0Should the pod doors not open, there is an emergency release button near the bottom of the pod. Push this\u00a0button and\u00a0slide the door to exit.<\/p>\n

We hope this helps. In the meantime, here are a few ways to get through any Pod discomfort you may be experiencing.
