Please let this be the LAST snow message of the year!

Greetings! ALTHOUGH THIS IS EXTREMELY HARD TO IMAGINE AT THIS TIME.... CLOSING ALL DAY We have tried to make the right decision so please don't shoot the messenger.  With the duration of this storm, we have to follow the recommendations of the state and the meteorologists. No one is perfect, but we try to do our best.  It is unfortunate that we have to do this but we find it is the best interest of safety that we do not open at all today, Monday, February 9, 2015.  If you need a workout to do in order to maintain your fitness level, mother nature has provided you with a cardio/strength experience of moving the snow from one place to another. If that is not enough, feel free to email us and we will be happy to supply you with a variety of exercises to fit your needs. WE WILL BE OPENING AT 5:00 AM TOMORROW,- Tuesday, February 10, 2015- HOLDING REGULAR CLASSES AND CLOSING AT 9:00 PM. Be safe and warm.  The extremely frustrated Team at Team Fitness and CrossFit Franklin

#shopFranklin: Breaking News - 2/9/15

We have been affected by the snow View on the web

The Shady Spot A monthly 'bulletin' about window shades, life and humor Breaking News - 2/9/2015 Snow Melting Troubles Hello and my apologies for sending another email to you in the month. However I've thought it is my responsibility to inform you that due to the extreme amounts of snow fall this winter,  my showroom has taken the hit. Lots of snow melting causing severe water damage to our facility..The good news is that event has pushed us to find an even better location to accommodating our growing company. Inevitably some delays returning calls and scheduling jobs will occur since we are dealing with insurance, clean-up and real estate hunting..Did I mention we are still busy selling shades too? Thanks again for your support over the years and your understanding while we are passing this bumpy road. More to come...Meanwhile take a look at some of the photos.

TeamFitness - The email you've all been waiting for.....

February 2015 Another Snow Email from Team Fitness and CrossFit Franklin! Someday we may find humor in all this.  But as of now, we find it extremely frustrating. As we have tried to find a basis on making this decision in a wise manor, we waited on the Franklin Schools and their decision to cancel school on Monday, February 9, 2015. So, we have decided to remain closed in the morning and will examine the situation as the day progresses for a later in the day opening (that is if the roads, parking and weather cooperate). Please visit our Facebook pages for updates and another email blast will be sent with a final decision on the afternoon. Keep warm, dry and take care with shoveling,
