CFLB Gym Rules

1. Arrive early and stay late. Cheer, clap, and encourage others. Anything less is to cheat yourself of the experience, and to rob others of the gift of your presence and support as part of the community. Besides, if you're late, it's 10 burpees per minute.
2. Accidents and injuries happen and usually come as a result of impatience. Don't be greedy. Slow down. Ask questions. Ask for help. Check your ego at the door.
3. EMPTY barbells were not designed to be dropped (neither were dumbbells or kettlebells). We don't want our toys, our rubber flooring, you, or someone else broken unnecessarily.
4. Chalk is useful, even necessary. It is also messy. Use as much as you need, but keep the excess inside the chalk bucket because all the extra dust keeps breaking our vacuum cleaner!
5. Clean up and put away all equipment after each workout. Clean up sweat, spit, blood, chalk, dirt, vomit, handprints, and whatever else you've left behind.
6. Grunting, screaming, cussing and otherwise making noise are all welcome and encouraged during a workout. There is such a thing as gentle, quiet strength, although most of us haven't mastered that yet. Also remember that there can be such a thing as too loud, whiny, crass, gross, or rude - please be respectful.
7. We love kids here at CFLB and think it's important for them to see their parents leading active, healthy lives. However, we also want to keep kids and everyone else in our gym safe. This is why we ask that kids in the gym be under the supervision of an adult at all times, an adult who is not working out, and who can make sure the kids stay in the front area and off the gym floor at all times. We just can't run the risk of having your kids or our athletes getting hurt.

Thanks to the great people at CFLA for the well-worded rules.
