We will be reopening soon: A letter from Prototype

Mike Collette • July 3, 2020

We wanted to inform you that the state of Massachusetts has moved into Phase 3 of the reopening plan starting Monday! As this is big news, we want to keep you updated on where Prototype is and our plan to reopen.

What are we doing and what have we been doing?

In Phase 2.2 we were allowed to start private 1:1 and 1:2 training. This has gone very well! We have seen more and more of our 1-1 clients come back into Prototype. With that said, we have and we will continue to offer virtual and outdoor training for those not comfortable coming into the facility quite yet. Our priority is always to keep everyone safe and to respect others.

As indoor 1:1 and 1:2 training has commenced, we have be offering our group classes outdoors at Prototype. These classes have expanded to class caps of 15 members, with strict sanitation and distancing protocols. In addition, as of this coming week we have outdoor classes offered Monday-Friday from 5:30am to 5:30pm.

It’s always important to us to help as many people as we can, while keeping both our members and staff safe.

So what’s up with Phase 3?

Phase 3 will allow us to operate indoor classes at 40% occupancy.  We need to see what our official operating capacity for the facility will be, but by our estimate it will be around 25-30 people in the facility at a time based on our 7,000 sq/ft. The plan as of now is to continue with our 15 person class cap when we launch indoors as we have been doing with our outdoor classes.

We are waiting for the more lengthy press release with the standards on the actual operations and we are hoping that like the outdoor classes if we keep distance between each other, not sharing equipment, and sterilize we can workout without masks on but for now the standard is masks are required.

We most likely will NOT start indoor classes this Monday July 6th but the following week (Week of the 13th). This will give all of us more time to prepare lauching the classes properly and getting the facility prepared. We will continue to offer our outdoor classes everyday of the week (M-F) and make a safe transition.

*If you need quick updates we regularly post in the Prototype Facebook Group first before sending out an email.*

Once we have all our procedures documented and all updates from Gov Baker, we will announce the official start of inside group classes and a return to indoor group workouts.

If you are a former member and would like to start group training with us again please email us directly, click this link to book a complimentary No Sweat Intro session or just shoot us a text so we can reactivate your account. We are happy to welcome you all back with open arms!

REMINDER:

If you have traveled out of the Massachusetts/New England area the 14 day quarantine is still in effect for you. Please do not come to group classes and join us on Zoom for 2 weeks.

Lastly, to all of our members, it’s important to us to get feedback and gain insight into your comfort level for training indoors at Prototype. Please click the survey link below to let us know your thoughts. This will help us refine our schedule and get a better understanding for where your comfort lies.

Thank you all so much for your patience and loyalty to Prototype. It means the world to us.

Be well and we look forward to seeing you all very soon!

February Prototype of the Month

By Mike Collette • February 3, 2025
Congratulations to Natalie for being February's Prototype of the Month! Below, she shares his experience with Prototype, what drives her, and the goals that keep her motivated. 1.) Share your experience at Prototype. I have been at Prototype for a little over a year but started doing drop-in classes prior to that. Every time I dropped into class, I was welcomed and felt really at home, which prompted me to join after a 4 year Crossfit hiatus. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? I really love the camaraderie and the way everyone supports and encourages each other. The energy and joking of the 5am class is what motivates me to get up at the crack of dawn to workout each week. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? I am obsessed with traveling and travel planning! I really enjoy running and hiking, especially with friends. I also really love my job and furthering my education and career. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? Prototype has helped me to love Crossfit and working out in a group again. After a 4 year hiatus and working out by myself, I am really enjoying the way that the classes and people motivate me to work on my weaknesses and to push myself further than I would alone. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? I want to get back to doing pull-ups and toes to bar again without struggling and despising them so much. 6.) Favorite Quote Don’t just aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference. -Denzel Washington
