I’ve had a few comments from some of our members and think it’s time to officially establish a new courtesy rule at CrossFit Edmonton. It comes in regard to putting your weights away after the workouts.

We have an amazing community of people who are very courteous and ALWAYS put their weights away after their workout is finished. So courteous in fact that they’ll start to put the weights away IMMEDIATELY after they finishing the WOD. I’d like to change the focus of courtesy away from the facilities cleanliness and put it towards your fellow Crossfitter.

If you’ve ever been one of the lucky souls to be finishing last in a workout, you know what it feels like when everyone is cleaning up around you and you’re still struggling to workout. It just straight sucks! If you haven’t had this luck, then please take my word and know that it’s not only annoying but deflating of your intensity to finish.

So, from this date forward I’d like to establish a rule of WAITING to put your weights away until EVERYONE IS FINISHED. If you’re so fast a feel you need something to do, take that opportunity to provide encouragement for your fellow Crossfitter and help them finish rather than trying to clean up around them.

This is our official rule enforcer!
