GYM RULES / ETIQUETTE
To help keep things running smoothly and ensure everyone has the best possible experience, we’ve put together a few simple gym rules. These guidelines are here to create a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for all members no matter your goals, experience level, or training style. Please take a moment to read through and help us keep the good vibes going.
Be on time
CrossFit contains technical movements that require your mind to be focused and your body to be primed. Therefore, it’s critical that you arrive on time so you can listen to the coaches brief, learn how to perform the movements safely, determine an appropriate weight, consider modifications that may be necessary for your skill level or injury history, and then participate in the warm-up.
Let the coaches coach
Our members look out for one another, and that contributes to the team environment and community atmosphere we know and love. While support is great, giving technical advice and coaching to your fellow members is not. We have some of the best coaches in the business, all of whom have a comprehensive knowledge of Torian’s unique programming and how it can safely be applied to our members.
Check your ego at the door
Often, people enter the gym with predisposed ideas of what weights they should lift or, in an effort to keep up with somebody else, they’ll attempt weights that exceed their ability. Safety and quality of movement are of critical importance to use. As a result, you will only be permitted to increase weight and intensity once you have demonstrated proficiency in a movement. Please respect your coaches and their judgment. We are not trying to hold you back – we just want you to progress in the most safe and efficient way.
Don't drop the fives
Load your bar correctly
Bring a towel
Support your fellow members
The best sessions occur when everyone supports each other. It’s amazing to see how well people respond when other members offer encouragement when they need it most. While we train as individuals, we workout as a team. Only pack away your gear when EVERYONE has finished the workout.
Pack your gear away
Our members pride themselves on training at one of the best CrossFit facilities in the world. It is their home away from home, and they treat it as such. Please pack all equipment away at the conclusion of your workout.
Listen to your body
Everyone will experience a little niggle from time to time. If you have an injury, regardless of its magnitude, you must let your coaches know before the session starts. That way, our coaches can tailor the session to what is appropriate for your unique needs, rather than you trying to keep up with the rest of the group and risking further injury. Our coaches may also refer you to an external healthcare professional if they feel the situation is warranted.
Open Gym
We have a designated open gym area to allow members to come in and work on skills, perform active recovery/mobility sessions, complete accessory work or work through their program.
Enjoy the community
The unique advantage of CrossFit is the community. To get the most out of your CrossFit experience, make an effort to meet your fellow members and get to know them. This will make everyone's experience much more enjoyable, and don’t be surprised if you make some lifetime friends!
