Monday, March 8th

There’s a lot of stuff to talk about today.
First is the children in the gym issue.  Please, Please be aware of where your child is while your other training comrades are working out.  I don’t want any child getting hurt because of some accident that could have been prevented.  There will be a place in the new gym where the children can stay and play, we’ll call it the “child pen”.  That’s right, I said “new gym” but i’ll get into that in a little bit.  Let’s watch this video to see how dangerous it can be when your child is unsupervised.

So Let’s be careful.

Next issue, do to the amount of members in the gym now sometimes it can get a little hectic because of our “open gym” policy.  It’s difficult to teach a class when there are members walking in and out during a “Wod”.  There needs to be more structure in the gym to assure the most effective way for me to teach and run the wod’s.  So this week I will be announcing specific class times.  This new class time structure will benefit everyone.  Here’s how it will work.
The first 15 minutes of the class will be dedicated to a “warm up” that I will prescribe.  It will be the same warm up everyday and I will go through it and teach everyone so you can do it on your own when the class starts.
After the 15 minutes is up I will go through the workout exercise by exercise and make sure that everyone knows exactly how to do it.  As I go through each exercise we will have a short run through on how to perform them.  After everyone is comfortable with what we are doing we will start the workout.
Everyone is expected to show up on time for the class they are attending.
This new format will help everyone, I guarantee it.  There will be much more structure to our classes and I will be able to spend much more time teaching everyone that needs help with the movements.  The workouts will run much smoother and with much less chaos, you will know exactly when you will start and exactly when you will be done.  This is to help you not hurt you so go with it.

Now to the new gym I was talking about.  Just so you all know I have been searching for a new place for us to kill ourselves at.  I have some places in mind and just trying to iron out some things as to which one will be the best for all of us.  The new place will be much bigger with bathrooms and showers and that “child’s pen” i was talking about.  It will be a much better environment for us to train in and I have you all in mind when I am doing my search.  So I will keep you updated on to what is happening and when we will be moving.

I think you should make rowing part of your daily warm up. You need to spend more time together. Build a positive relationship :)
