Even thought we took all the measures to get the gym open in the morning, I think it’s best for everyone that we open late tomorrow morning. We will plan to have 930 am group and 600 pm group. I will also train tomorrow as long as everyone is comfortable. Please be safe if you decide to drive In in the morning.

We’re reaching out to let you know that after careful consideration, Hardcore Serious Fitness will no longer accept ClassPass bookings.
This wasn’t an easy or quick decision. While we’re grateful for the wonderful people ClassPass has introduced to our gym and understand the flexibility it offers, the platform has changed in ways that no longer support small, locally owned studios like ours—or the community we’re building at Hardcore.
ClassPass was originally designed to introduce new guests and help fill unused class spots, not to replace or supplement core memberships. Over time, many small studios have found that while ClassPass can feel like a great deal for users, it often means offering high-quality classes at little to no revenue—while still carrying the full cost of instructors, equipment, space, and operations. Booking directly allows us to continue delivering the experience, coaching, and environment you expect and deserve.
Hardcore Serious Fitness is a family-run, locally owned gym built on relationships, accountability, and shared goals—not a corporate model. When you join us directly, your membership dollars stay here in our community, supporting our coaches, maintaining and upgrading equipment, hosting member events, and growing a space that motivates you every day.
We’re incredibly thankful for every ClassPass visitor who has trained with us, and we would love for you to continue your fitness journey here. To help make the transition easier, we’ve included our membership options below. Thank you for your energy, your commitment, and your support. We’re always happy to talk through options or answer any questions as we move into this next chapter together.
Hope to see you in the gym again soon!
Bear and the Hardcore Serious Fitness team

Good evening hardcore. I have decided based on the weather and conditions to cancel all operations tomorrow, Monday January 26. For your safety I ask you all to take a day off or workout at home. If you need something to do I know you have a workout saved that you love or at least know you can do on your own. Assuming weather is better tomorrow we will resume operations Tuesday. If you have questions please feel free to reach out. Stay safe. Stay hardcore.

Happy New Year’s Eve Hardcore. There is class in the morning at 9:30 am. If you are unable to register it’s because of the membership adjustments being made for January 2026. Your previous membership has been canceled to clean things up internally. A new membership has been sold to your account and will resume auto draft on January 1, 2026. Please remember the price adjustments you were notified about before you ask questions. If you were not notified it’s because you forgot about us in December. If you are planning to join in the morning everyone is welcome to join if you remember you will be able to signup in the morning. I promise I won’t yell at anyone tomorrow for not signing up.
Have great close to 2025. Be safe. Be nice. Be hardcore. See you in the morning.
