Flood 10/27/24
Flood Story
During the early morning hours of 10/27, there was a torrential amount of rainfall that plugged drains, partially flooded roads, and more. Unfortunately, our studio was yet again impacted despite efforts made by property management and the building owners. We have heard numbers from 2.5 to 5 inches of rain fell in one hour.
The studio flooded about 4 inches, if you were here for the flood earlier in the year the damage is basically the same (but they won’t be tearing out the showers this time!). Work should not take nearly as long to complete due to several factors outlined below.
WHAT NOW?
Studio Update – November 18th
We’re thrilled to announce our reopening date! 🎉 Mark your calendars for Monday, November 25th.
While we’re excited to welcome you back, please note that we’ll still be under construction for the first few weeks. Here's what to expect:
- No mirrors or showers yet.
- Bathrooms might be a little... creative.
- But we’ll have floors, walls, heat, and each other to make it all worth it!
To accommodate contractors, midday classes (12 PM and 2:30 PM, Monday–Thursday) will be temporarily cancelled.
Help Us Get Ready!
This Saturday and Sunday (Nov. 23-24) from 11 AM–6 PM, we’ll be cleaning and staging the space. If you’re available to lend a hand, we’d love to have you join us!

Update – November 10th
Things are progressing smoothly! The walls (aside from paint) should be finished by Wednesday, and contractors will then begin work on the floors. Once that’s done, we’ll be ready to hold classes, even as we finish up additional tasks like:
- Painting
- Rehanging mirrors
- Finishing the showers
We’re just a little behind schedule but still aiming to open between November 18th–20th.
Don’t forget: we’re still offering FREE community classes during the closure. Check our website, Instagram, or Facebook for the latest schedule!

Update – November 3rd
Our reopening target remains between November 15th–18th. While construction continues, we’re hosting Free Community Classes to keep everyone moving! Check MINDBODY for the schedule.
A reminder: Classes at JD Elite Fitness are located at 1420 Meador Ave #K101.

Update – October 31st
Demo is complete, and everything is drying out. Construction will begin Monday, with sheetrock going up during the week of November 4th. Flooring will follow the week of November 11th. Painting will be saved for last, allowing us to reopen sooner.
Reopening is tentatively set for November 15th–18th.

Something Positive
The contractors from our last project, ScoCon, are now neighbors just two doors down! This means:
- Faster work—no delays finding contractors.
- Familiarity with our space, materials, and needs.
Most materials, including flooring, have already been ordered to keep things moving quickly!
We’ll keep you updated every step of the way—thank you for your patience and support as we prepare to reopen stronger than ever! 🙏
Memberships
All memberships have been paused until we reopen.
Since the closure has spanned almost a full month (October 27th - November 25th), most autopay dates will be shifted to November 25th.
In December, Laura will be reviewing all memberships and applying credits for any time lost due to the closure.
If you're unsure about your next autopay date, check your membership’s expiration or reach out in December for confirmation.
If you’d like to support the studio by forgoing your credit, please email Laura at laura@elementshotyoga.com—though this is entirely optional, we are incredibly grateful for any offers of support
