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?
Update 11/10 - Things are moving forward smoothly at the studio! The walls (aside from the paint) are expected to be finished by Wednesday, after which contractors will begin work on the floors. Once that’s done, we’ll be able to start holding classes! There will still be some ongoing work, including painting, finishing the showers, rehanging mirrors, and a few other finishing touches—but we'll have space to practice!
While we may be a couple of days behind schedule, we’re still aiming to open between 11/18 and 11/20.
We are also still holding FREE community classes while we are closed. Check the schedule here on our website as well as Instagram and Facebook for details!Update 11/3 - We are still anticipating/hoping to reopen about 11/15-11/18. For the week through 11/10 we are holding Free Community Classes for people to attend while we are closed for repairs. We will more than likely be holding classes like this the following week as well until we re-open, more details to come on that soon. For now check MINDBODY to see what we have scheduled! Note all classes at JD Elite Fitness are located at 1420 Meador Ave #K101.
Update 10/31 - Demo is done and everything is drying out (they needed to finish a little bit in the bathrooms today). Construction should start on Monday. The week of 11/4 they will be putting up sheetrock, which is a bigger task and will take time to dry so this is the main task that will be completed this week. The week of 11/11 they should be starting flooring, they are changing their normal schedule and doing painting last so we are able to reopen as soon as possible!
With this information in mind, we have a tentative re-open date of 11/15-11/18. Things can come up, get delayed, so we will keep you all updated as things progress.
As of 10/30 Service Master has been in the unit doing demo, which should wrap sometime today. They have lots of fans and other machines to dry out the space, which should be complete by the end of the week.
Something Positive: The contractors from last time, ScoCon, are now our neighbors two doors down. As a result, work should go much faster than last time! In January it took 10 days for them to find a contractor to start, which we don’t have that issue this time. They are also familiar with the space, know all the materials to get (many of which have already been ordered, including flooring) and more.
Memberships
We are pausing all memberships until we reopen. If your membership has charged from 10/27-10/31 you will be reimbursed by 11/1 and it may take a few days for the return to process.
Once we have a firm reopen date, we will go about the process of adjusting/extending memberships to cover time paid for that we were closed when applicable.
We have had a few people reach out saying they want to keep their membership rolling. This is not asked for at all and more than kind, but if you would like to keep your membership going to support the space and staff, please email Laura at laura@elementshotyoga.com.
Thank you all so much for your patience and heartfelt messages during this time. We can’t wait to see you all again!
