Hello CrossFit SOTO Members!
​
My name is Emily Wagner. I am the owner of Newport Fitness, which is home to NewCov CrossFit and Em's Fitcamp. I am sure you have heard by now that Newport Fitness has acquired CrossFit SOTO.
I am very excited to take on this new venture! I am sure there are some uneasy feelings with another gym transition. However, I will do my best to make this transition as seamless as possible. I have heard incredible things about the SOTO community and staff and I look forward to getting to know each of you! I have a lot of respect for Kyle and Kim and all they have built over the years. I look forward to continuing to build upon this great community they have created!
​
**We would love your feedback and suggestions! Please CLICK HERE to take an anonymous survey.**
I am sure there are LOTS of questions! I will do my best to address some of the main concerns/questions below:
1) Will CrossFit SOTO be a second location OR will it merge with NewCov into one location?
CrossFit SOTO will be run as a second location. The 2 locations will be run as sister locations meaning that your membership will allow you to attend both locations at no extra charge.
2) Will the programming change?
We will continue to use the Mayhem programming at CrossFit SOTO for now. We will ask for input from staff and members and decide if any changes are needed at a later date.
3) Will class times change?
​
For the first week, all class times will remain the same, but we do plan to make some changes in the coming weeks. The first change is listed below. We will be doing a full analysis of the schedule at both locations and will let you know if any other class times will change in the future.
​
Upcoming Class Changes
-
Starting 9/7, the Sunday class will now be held at 9AM (instead of 10AM), BUT will still be at 10AM THIS Sunday, 8/31.
​
4) How do I attend classes at Newport Fitness?
We will need about a week to transition you to our member check-in system called StreamFit. We will be starting this process TODAY. Once you have been added to the new system, you will receive an email. You do not need to do anything just yet.
​
Once we have everyone transitioned over, we will email and text you with further instructions. Stay tuned!
NOTE: Please be sure to add a phone number to WODIFY ASAP if you do not have one in there already.
​
5) Isn't Newport Fitness moving their location?
Yes! Unfortunately, Kroger will be taking over our building and turning it into a liquor store. We are in active negotiations on several nearby spots and hope to have an announcement soon as to what our new location will be for Newport Fitness. The timing will be sometime before May 1st, 2026.
6) Will you be changing the name of CrossFit SOTO?
Since we will be operating as sister locations, we would like to have the same name across both gyms. However, we are going to wait to rebrand anything until after the NEW Newport Fitness location has been settled upon.
7) Will you be raising prices?
​
We will be transitioning everyone to our current month-to-month rates of $144/month + tax (We will honor all discounts you have currently in WODIFY).
​
For example, If you have a 10% discount currently, that will be applied to the $144/month month-to-month membership making your price $129.60 + tax.
​
NOTE: We do bill monthly VERSUS every 4 weeks, so you should see a decrease overall in pricing over the year.
NOTE: We will be providing instructions on how to upload your payment method in the coming days to StreamFit. We charge a 2.9% credit card/debit card fee. BUT we do waive this fee if paying ACH.
​
We also charge a $30 Annual Equipment Fee in January of which 100% of the money is applied to purchasing, servicing or upgrading the equipment.
​
​
8) Are there any extra benefits to this acquisition?
​
Yes! Lots!
* As stated above, you will have full access to all classes at Newport Fitness: CrossFit, Em's Fitcamp, Em's Fitfest, High-Intensity Mix and Open Gym (at no extra cost). We will also provide you with Free Boxing Bootcamp through September, but if you decide to add this to your membership, this particular option will be an extra $8/month.
* We offer childcare at several Newport Fitness classes/day. ($5/kid monthly unlimited or $10/family unlimited). We will provide info on how to add this to your membership in the coming days.
* We have showers at Newport Fitness.
* Inbody Analyzer Add-on (unlimited) = Only $5/month extra
* Em's FitKids classes (Ages 2 thru Highschool) offered on Wednesdays ($25/month unlimited or $10/month drop in)
​
9) Can you explain the additional class offerings?
​
Em's Fitcamp:
Bootcamp style WOD that combines cardio, bodyweight movements and strength using Kettle Bells, Dumbbells and Medicine Balls. Generally the WODS are 25 - 35 minutes + a warm-up.
​
Em's FitFest:
This is the only class offered on Wednesdays at Newport Fitness. This a LONG CrossFit WOD (Generally 30 - 40 Minutes + a warm-up). We combine our CrossFitters and Fitcampers to join in. Everyone is doing the same WOD, but some may choose to use a barbell while others may go for a dumbbell or kettle bell.
​
High-Intensity Mix:
This class is open to our CrossFitters and Fitcampers. The class starts with a warm-up, followed by a Strength/Accessory piece followed by a high-intensity WOD. Some people may choose to use a barbell where others may choose a kettle bell or dumbbell.
​
Boxing Bootcamp
Warm Up followed by a rotation of stations where many of the stations use the elements of CrossFit and Fitcamp and 2 of the stations include boxing bag work and sparring work with a trainer (no experience needed). We provide the boxing gloves.
