Dear Option 1 Fitness Family,

 

It is with a mix of emotions that I inform you of an important change taking place within our gym.  After eight wonderful years of serving the vibrant community of Keene, we have made the difficult decision to sell Option 1 Fitness to a fellow gym owner, Tim Chapin, from Real Steel in Claremont, NH. As of yesterday, June 21st, the transaction was formally completed. While this news brings a tinge of sadness to my heart, I am also filled with a deep sense of happiness and excitement for what the future holds for our beloved gym.

 

First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you.  Your unwavering support, dedication, and commitment to your fitness journey have made Option 1 Fitness the incredible place it is today.  Witnessing your growth, perseverance, and achievements over the years has been an absolute privilege, and I am truly grateful to have been a small part of your lives.

 

As we pass the torch to Tim, we do so with the utmost confidence and enthusiasm.  Tim has a profound passion for health and fitness, and his dedication and commitment to excellence align perfectly with the values we have established at Option 1.   I firmly believe that under his guidance, Option 1 Fitness will not only continue to thrive but will soar to new heights.  His drive and expertise will undoubtedly propel Option 1 Fitness into an exciting new chapter, and I urge you to embrace this change with open hearts and minds.

 

Rest assured, the spirit and sense of community that have made Option 1 Fitness so special will remain intact.  Tim is committed to preserving the welcoming atmosphere and camaraderie that have fostered countless friendships and helped us all stay motivated on our fitness journeys.  

 

I will work closely with Tim over the next few weeks to ease the transition, providing him with insights, guidance, and all the necessary information about Option 1 Fitness.  I want to ensure this handover is as seamless as possible, allowing Tim to hit the ground running and continue providing you with the exceptional fitness experience you deserve.

 

As I bid farewell to Option 1 Fitness, please know that this place and every member will always hold a special place in my heart.  It has been an honor to serve this community and witness the incredible transformations and personal victories achieved within these walls.  Remember, this gym has never been just about the physical weights we lift, but rather the strength, determination, and resilience we cultivate within ourselves.

 

Change can be bittersweet, but it is also an opportunity for growth and renewal.  I implore you all to embrace this change, support Tim in his endeavors, and continue pursuing your fitness goals with the same passion and dedication you have shown throughout the years.  Option 1 Fitness will always be a part of your journey, no matter where it takes you.

 

Thank you for your unwavering support, trust, and friendship.  It has been a genuine honor to be a part of your lives.  May your fitness journeys be filled with triumphs, happiness, and endless gains.

 

With heartfelt gratitude and love,

 

Renee DiCastro
