Ahhh, the old sound board...
I thought I would start this one off with some new info and a few rules that we need to be aware of moving forward to help keep our box safe and user-friendly to all of the members through the holiday season:
1: The New Workout Plan (Kanye and dairy/soy/gluten-Free)
Well, the new year is approaching and we have another Paleo challenge to tackle! This time, 6 weeks running from January 7th through February 17th. New rules, similar point systems and check-ins. We will be having a little meeting prior to beginning to help answer as many initial questions as possible relating to foods, meal prepping, etc. This time it will be a package deal with new shirt and other goodies included. Price and items to be announced soon...
2: Bags / Coats / Etc:
With the cold weather in full force, please limit the bags and coats brought in to the corner. We have little space as is and the couch isn't our own personal coat hanger. Use the locker room whenever possible and let's keep our space for water bottles and immediate-need items.
3: New paint
Notice that green paint below the whiteboard? Chalk-paint. This is your scribble-zone. Please leave the whiteboard for tracking the WOD's. I'll have chalk here by Thursday.
4: BYO! Music, that is...
Yep. Tired of Eminem? Sick of the one song that I have getting played to start every workout? Prefer to listen to the newest teenie high-pitch "baby-baby" song? Great. It's not going on my iPod, but you're free to put it on your own and bring it in.
Now a couple of Mom-like sound-offs...
1: If you break it, own up to it.
There's nothing like coming in to a 5am class with a jumprope handle chilling on the whiteboard like it's a blue marker. Drop me a line and let me know what broke. I can't fix it if I don't know about it especially if we need it for the class.
2: Be on time.
Class times are START times, not warm-up times. Please be considerate to those who are on a tight schedule and must get started on time. You're expected to come in before class to warm-up, foam roll, and prepare for the movements. I will have them written up for you and I'm there if you have any questions on the drills. Burpees will help you get out of bed 5 minutes earlier.
3. Put your weights away.
Another peeve: putting away 225lbs from a bar sitting exactly were I need to set up for the 5am class. Or stacking the boxes. Or re-arranging the kettlebells (the wall is labeled by weights for them, btw). Or cleaning up a white mess on the floor that's either chalk or the remnants of a Charlie Sheen party. 1 warning per person, then burpee penalty - 1 per every 5 lbs left out and they will be assessed during the next workout. If I put it away, the coach will do the burpees and pass them down to the guilty party once they track them down. Otherwise, it's the whole class that get's them next-day. Now THAT'S a twist you didn't see coming, but I'm looking forward to a clean, on-time, fully-functioning corner for the new year!
