VIDA Logan Circle to Reopen After Shooting Incident
VIDA Fitness at Logan Circle has announced plans to officially reopen its gym following a shooting incident that occurred last Thursday. The event left two people dead, including the gunman, and five others injured. The gym could reopen as soon as next weekend, pending resolution of building repairs.
Community Gathering Planned for Reopening
In a letter to members sent on Saturday, VIDA Fitness stated its intention to hold a community gathering on either Saturday, November 21 or Sunday, November 22 to mark the official reopening of the Logan Circle location. The gathering aims to demonstrate solidarity and the strength of the community in the aftermath of the tragedy.
Impact of Water Damage and Current Closure
The delay in reopening comes after the activation of the condo building’s sprinkler system during the incident, which caused significant water intrusion into the gym. While water mitigation has been completed, the building remains without running water. The Condo Building Managers estimate that water service will be restored by Friday, November 20.
Support for Members During Closure
VIDA Fitness has assured members that they may use any of the other five VIDA locations during the closure of the Logan Circle club. All members will receive a credit for each day the location remains closed. Details on the application of these credits will be communicated once confirmed with the billing company.
Statement from VIDA Fitness Leadership
The leadership at VIDA Fitness, including CEO & Founder David von Storch and President Aaron Moore, expressed gratitude for the community's resilience and support. Their note to members highlighted the importance of coming together for healing and assured that trauma counselors, along with the leadership team, will be on site upon reopening to provide support.
Ongoing Updates and Recovery
Members can expect another update in the following week regarding the reopening timeline. VIDA Fitness underscored its commitment to supporting those impacted and reaffirmed the compassion of its community as central to its recovery efforts.
