Hi all,
Sorry for the double email. I just want to confirm for our swimmers
that although there were signs posted at Blodgett saying it would be
closed all day tomorrow (Friday, March 30), it will in fact be open
7am-2:15pm. The signs have been replaced with the actual closing
hours. I apologize for the confusion.
Thanks,
Jana
Hi all,
First, please note that Blodgett Pool will be open reduced hours on
Friday (7am-2:15pm) and closed Saturday and Sunday. This is the last
scheduled closure for some time!
Second, during the MAC closure we are excited to offer a discounted
Boston Sports Club membership to our recreation members. The initiation
fee will be waived, monthly membership fees discounted by 20% and no
contract required (just 30 days notice for cancellations). Coupons are
available at Hemenway Gymnasium: please email me for additional
information.
Finally, we are in the final stages of arranging equipment in Gordon and
the QRAC-- check these sites out starting on Monday!
Happy Spring,
Jana
Hi all,
Late breaking news-- Blodgett will actually not close tonight at 5, but
will be open until 10:30 as usual. I apologize for the mis-information.
Thanks,
Jana
Hello all,
Thank you for bearing with us through this transition! We are about half way
through the moves-- so far, so good!
First, as you probably know, the MAC is now closed for a major renovation. It
will remain closed until Fall 2007. All parts of the building are closed,
including the gym floor, the pool, and the locker rooms. Members may not enter
the building. Please let me know if you have questions.
Please see our website for alternative locations, including information
regarding offerings and hours:
http://www.gocrimson.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=9000&ATCLID=777796
Please note the dates that these facilities will open: Hemenway and Blodgett
are available currently. Equipment is being delivered to Gordon and
Wigglesworth; these locations will be open on April 2nd. There is not
equipment available at these locations currently. The QRAC will close down
tomorrow (3/22) to receive additional equipment and will re-open April 2nd.
Please note that Blodgett will close at 5pm on Thursday, March 22, and remain
closed through Sunday.
It will also close at 2:15 pm on Friday, March 30th, and remain closed through
Sunday.
Hemenway will go to slightly reduced hours for Spring Break week (March 24-April
1.) The hours are as follows:
Sat & Sun, March 24 & 25: 10am-6pm
Mon-Thurs, March 26-29: 5:30am-9pm
Fri, March 30: 5:30am-7pm
Sat, March 31: 10am-6pm
Sun, April 1: back to regular hours (8am-11pm)
During spring break week at Hemenway, only indoor cycling classes will take
place. Please see the schedule below:
http://www.gocrimson.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=9000&ATCLID=828033
Remember, the expanded class schedule starts April 2nd: come join us!
Please feel free to contact me with questions or concerns. To add to the
excitment, my hard drive died on Friday, so I am without a computer and
therefore a little slower than usual in responding to emails. I will get back
to you as soon as I can. Please feel free also to call me at 617/495-4838.
Thanks,
Jana

Hello all,
Another long email with a lot of information.
First, the pools: Blodgett Pool will be closed Thursday, March
8-Sunday, March 11th. The MAC Pool hours will be as follows:
Thursday: 7am-4:30 pm
Friday: 7am-3:30pm
Saturday: 9am-2pm
Sunday: 9am-3pm
Second, if you had a locker rental and did not clean it out, please make
sure you pick up your belongings as soon as possible. All deserted
items will be donated to charity on *March 15th*, so if you want
anything that was stored in your locker, you must come and get it before
that Thursday. Please contact me with any questions
(macinfo(a)fas.harvard.edu; 617/495-4838).
Third, several of you have contacted me with questions about the group
exercise schedule. The MAC group exercise schedule will end on *Friday,
March 16th*. The Hemenway schedule *(with the addition of all MAC
cycling classes)* will continue until* March 26th*. We will also run
several promotional cycling classes the week of Spring Break, March
26-30th. These promotional classes will be open to anyone with
membership (no class access necessary). If you haven't tried Indoor
Cycling, this is the perfect opportunity! Watch for the schedule to be
posted next week.
The new, expanded Hemenway group exercise schedule will commence *April
2nd*. This schedule will be posted on the web soon: see the MAC
renovation board or the Hemenway front desk for a preliminary version.
*Specialty class brochures* will also be available in the next day or
so: we will hold a 4-week session beginning April 2nd, so if you missed
out in February, this is your chance!
Since one of the Hemenway squash courts will be transformed to an indoor
cycling studio, all Hemenway members will be able to use the squash
courts at the Murr Center in addition to those at the QRAC starting
April 2nd. The courts at the Murr are available M-F 7am-10:30 pm,
Saturday 8am-8pm, and Sunday 8am-10pm.
Finally, please check our renovation website (below) for information on
hours, offerings, and the dates both of these go into effect. The MAC
closes its doors for the last time (for a while) on Sunday, March 18th
at 11pm.

As always, I welcome your emails! Send me questions, comments,
concerns, etc.

Hi all,
This email is sort of long and has a lot of information, so please read
carefully!
First, an additional Blodgett closing: Blodgett will not be open for
Friday night swim. The pool will close for the weekend at 2:15pm on
Friday.
Second, some renovation updates:
Blodgett Pool hour adjustment:
M-F: 7am-10:30pm*
S/S: 12-6pm
*No 5-6am early bird swim hours
Gordon/GITT hour adjustment:
M-F: 7am-10:30pm
**Weights only (no cardio) 3-5pm
S/S: 8am-5pm
Other updates:
Gordon users will be able to use the locker rooms at Blodgett Pool
whenever Gordon is open. There are rental lockers available in these
locker rooms (rent at the Murr Center ticket office) as well as towel
service.
Many of you have contacted me to see if Lavietes will be available for
recreation basketball once the MAC closes. This is a possibility for
the summer, but this space will not be available for the remainder of
the spring.
Towel service will not be available at the QRAC for the spring
semester. It may be available during the summer, depending on usage.
If you have questions or concerns, please let me know!
Thanks,
Jana
