Rules
These rules are designed to keep
you all safe and your training experience enjoyable. We have kept it simple so
everyone gets the best experience.
Turn up on time – Warm-up stretches and mobility
are important for your safety and performance. You MUST warm-up before doing
the WOD and nobody will want to wait for you!
Post-exercise
stretching is a must –
Stretching after a workout returns the muscles and body systems to a resting
state, prevents blood pooling, and reduces post-exercise soreness and
stiffness. We appreciate that some people have to leave early to get to work or
another appointment but the session isn’t finished until you rest and stretch!
No Coaching – While support is great, giving
technical advice and coaching is not. Some members have injuries or medical
conditions and will have been given scaling options by the coach. If you see
something that looks wrong or dangerous grab a coach. Otherwise, focus on your
own technique and put your energy into supporting and encouraging.
Introduce yourself. CrossFit Port Stephens is a gym
or bootcamp. It’s a community. If you see someone you haven’t met, introduce
yourself. They may need to revive you later and “Dude, wake up…” is just so
impersonal!
Don’t drop EMPTY
barbells or 5KG plates. EMPTY
barbells were not designed to be dropped (the bearings can shatter). 5kg plates
should not be dumped by anyone as they can split and buckle.
Use chalk sparingly. Chalk is useful and necessary BUT it
is also messy and a pain to clean up. Use as much as you need but please keep
any excess inside the chalk bucket.
Respect your peers – If you see someone struggling
through a WOD cheer them on, but avoid screaming at them or being in their
face. If you are being screamed at you have the right to ask the person to
stop.
Be responsible for
your own choices – Scaling
back a workout when necessary is intelligent, not weak. At Port Stephens we
want everyone to focus on technique before weight. We will all respect that.
Be patient – Slow down. Ask
questions. Focus. Accidents and injuries usually happen as a result of
impatience and lack of focus. Upward progression in strength, speed and ability
WILL COME.
Have fun, be happy
– Although we take our
training seriously, we want everyone to have some fun in the process. We enjoy
a laugh as much as you do and encourage it, especially during warm-up and
cool-down periods.
