Memo 6 - Reminders and Announcements

Reminders

• All equipment is to be put away *correctly* after use. “Everything in its place means a place for everything,” as they say. There have been several instances in the which there are plates left on equipment overnight, specifically on the jammer arms and leg press. Please be more conscious. Also, in order to be most efficient with our space, please set up your workouts in intelligent places. If a piece of equipment is not multi-use (i.e. the bench press, seated row, lat pulldown, etc.) do not close it off for use doing something that can be set up elsewhere.

• Sharing and Prioritizing Equipment: As clearly as I can state this, the most important requirement I have for this gym is that everyone is respected. As a fundamental demonstration of this communal respect trainers in session with clients must always and without question allow other trainers in session with clients to “work in.” This sharing of equipment is the standard here, invariably. Also, trainers in session with clients always and without question have priority over a trainer personality working out. If you are working out yourself you may not be permitted to finish, you may be asked to stop, and you are expected to do so. This is not just respect for the people around you but also respect for your profession.

• Broadly speaking, I am very thankful for the effort everyone here does put in to contributing to a positive environment. I attempt to cultivate an environment that can support a wide array of training styles, professional approaches, strategies, uses of motivation and this requires tolerance. I have seen you all demonstrate tolerance. Thank you.
