Class Caps:
We are hitting class size caps for a handful of our more popular times and will begin enforcing the cap. Once a cap is hit, your name will be added to a wait list and you will be notified if a spot opens up. Please refer to Pushpress for the class cap as it varies depending on class. The window to sign up for classes will be 3 days in advance.
We expect the increase in class time offerings will alleviate any concerns about the cap.

September 21, 2023 UPDATE
We have some excited news to share today.
If you have an HSA/FSA account through your employers healthcare plan, you may be eligible to have your gym membership with OpenBox Athletics reimbursed through your plan.
What does that mean for you? Depending on your income tax bracket, you could effectively save 20% or more on your monthly membership fees, personal training, or even supplements that we offer at OBA. This is due to your HSA/FSA account being pre-tax money. In some instances, employers also contribute to HSA/FSA accounts; if that's you it's even more savings.
So how do you find out if you are eligible? Pretty simple process. Follow the link below and answer some questions in a telehealth survey about your health (consider as you go through why you may be exercising in general).
If you are eligible, there is a $30 fee to receive a doctor's note for your HSA/FSA provider but no further fees. To put that fee into perspective, you could get that $30 back within a month of submitting your membership for reimbursement on your HSA/FSA card.
So what are you waiting? Check out the link today and see if you can start using pre-tax dollars to pay for your fitness at OBA!
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS 2025 is COMING!
Friday Night Lights 2025 is coming up fast! Three weeks of fun workouts, an opportunity to hang out with your friends and show off your hard work from the past year!
As with years past, FNL is open to both our OBAFiT and COLIDR members. We will have a version of the workouts for everyone! The main goal is to have fun and get a good workout in, we won't leave anyone out that wants to participate.
This year, the format for intra-gym competition will take a new turn. Teams will be picked at random but no one will know what team they are on until after Week 1 is over. All shirts will be the same color and design, we are hoping for a sea of black and neon each week.
AND we are finally holding FNL in the new space!
Registration for FNL is open now via a link in our bio! Registration is $25 and includes your shirt, food, and drinks for all three weeks.
**Note, to ensure that you get your t-shirt size, make sure to register by February 10th! We will have extra shirts available but sizes will be limited.**
FAQ about FNL
Q - Do I need to complete the workouts on Friday night at FRiday night lights to be on a team?
A - No, you can complete the workouts any time throughout Friday for it to count for your team.
Q - Will you have a workout for all abilities?
A - Abso-freaking-lutely. We want all members of OBA to not only be able to compete in FNL but also have fun. We make this as accessible as possible across our entire community. Need a further scaling that day? Just ask and we will take care of you so you can have fun and get a good workout in!
Q - What happens if I miss a week?
A - If you miss a workout don’t sweat it. Our scoring system will remove missed scores in a fair and equitable way week to week. It will likely be rare that a week goes by where no one misses the workout.
Q - How much does it cost?
A - We try to keep the cost of Friday night lights to a minimum each year and this year is no different. $25 gets you a t-shirt and access to food and drink each week.
Q - What do the T-shirts look like?
a - See below!
