Updates, Upgrades And Of Course...A Shop Drop (Almost)
With regard to many of the happenings in and around our global community, we know this email comes at a time where there are countless conversations taking place across many platforms. As our SP community is spread out across the globe, we know not every member will be able to see or engage with all of the SP platforms, posts, discussions, live videos, etc. all of the time. We want to take a moment to reiterate a few things we've shared about who we are, what we are about AND let you know of what we have coming for you in the days ahead!
WE ARE STREET PARKING
We know many of our members and followers are current or past CrossFit enthusiasts. Much of our staff also shares this background. Although we may share roots from the CF methodology and even the organization, Street Parking has never been affiliated in any way with CrossFit Inc. However because we are often associated with CF and it can cause confusion in discussion and understanding about what we are about, we want to share some recent messages from Miranda as shared on the SP Members Only Facebook Group and on our Street Parking Instagram page.
"We often have members associate SP with CrossFit with statements like 'Well CrossFit has always been about XYZ' - in reference to our community and program. It has been our goal from the beginning to establish our own voice, our own community, and our own brand outside of the CrossFit label.
We are STREET PARKING.
Please don't allow what is going on inside the CF community to infect ours. Please respect and uphold our community guidelines in regards to how you speak to each other here. We hope to provide a place that you can be proud to call home.
[For further clarification, you can read the community guidelines and rules in the "About" section of the private Facebook page, read through the announcements that reinforce how and what our community pages are for and to connect with the SP team.]
. . .
Street Parking was built on the idea that a fitness community should be inclusive and accessible to EVERYONE. However, now more than ever we are committed to DO MORE and DO BETTER to support all of our members - especially our black members who deserve our support as we seek how to be part of the solution in the fight against racism. We believe that racism is an issue that is directly tied to health and wellness. And, as a company that provides tools for our members to take control of their fitness, we are committed to doing better, being part of the conversation and seeking how we can show up.
For the past weeks we have been having conversations with our SP community members because connecting, listening, processing and meeting our members needs has been utmost priority. As we continue to know more, we are committed to doing better for the ENTIRE community moving forward.
We have been diligently working on a plan for how we can actively collaborate to support Color of Change and other organizations that can help all of us do something real about injustice.
The entire Street Parking Staff has enrolled and been participating in the @iamchrissyking Anti-Racism for Wellness Professionals Course to listen, learn and grow.
We are committed to showing up - even though we might make mistakes as we learn and grow.
We are committed to using our voice and resources to create change.
We are committed to being a resource and a community where our BIPOC members are supported in word and deed.
We are committed to continuing to provide a place where everyone is welcome and the fitness is accessible to all demographics.
We do not, have not, and will not tolerate hate or racism within our community.
We have made it clear within our community, but want to make sure there is no confusion about where we stand.
BLACK LIVES MATTER. Human rights matter.
Thank you for being willing to have constructive (although sometimes difficult) conversations. Thank you for respecting one another. Thank you for your support. We will be stronger together.
FOR MEMBERS ONLY
If you've been over on the Members Only website, you may have seen a few recent updates we want to make sure you know about, including a pretty sweet deal on upgrading your membership, NEW mamas resources, NEW nutrition small group coaching opportunities AND info on how to collect your FREE EARNED gear whether it be for 75/365/1000 workouts or The Vault... as Veinticinco is just around the corner for thousands of you on track to earn your can't be bought Vault shirt!
During the month of June, active Street Parking members can request an upgrade to their account to the yearly membership plan for $155.00 (a $25.00 savings.) To take advantage of the upgrade, follow the link to the form and submit your upgrade request. Due to the high volume of emails, it may take up to one week for the SPHQ support team to process your request. The yearly membership will go into effect when your current membership expires.
If there are 3 things we love at Street Parking it’s our MEMBERS, CONSISTENCY, and GIVING AWAY FREE STUFF! That’s why we have special earned gear made to celebrate milestones of YOUR consistency!
None of the EARNED items can be bought in the Street Parking shop. They can only be earned by logging your workouts, because as we always say “Consistency is Key.” Logging your workouts is for you to see your progress and track tangible results, it’s not a reward for performance or scores. When workout retests show up (as in the Vault) you will see that perhaps you are able to move a little faster, lift a little heavier, or perform a movement that once eluded you. Logging is the ultimate YOU vs. YOU opportunity, so why not get some hard earned FREE GEAR from SPHQ as our way of celebrating with you!?!
About the Vault...
We now have only TWO workouts remaining of the first 25, and that means that thousands of you are on track to receive the first run ever of the Street Parking Vault shirt!
Check out the EARNED page to find out where you stand - whether you have successfully logged all* workouts (through Week 21) or to see what ones you've missed and need to log when the second round of the Vault starts this summer!
There you will also see the details on how to submit for your shirt once Veinticinco is released... because no, it will NOT be by emailing apparel or support!

ABOUT THAT SHOP DROP....
COMING: THURSDAY, JUNE 11th
Don't forget: SPHQ is located on the west coast and we operate on PST. This means shop drops run during the time zone when the staff is awake, fed, caffeinated and prepared for incoming orders from all you lightning fast shoppers. We never enjoy breaking the internet or experiencing technical difficulties with online shopping platforms, so this is for the best.
