Several people have asked me what I think about changing the culture of our gym, so that we warm up together. I love this concept! And I have enjoyed visiting other gyms that did this, every hour! In fact most of the other CrossFit gyms I have visited, always warmed up together. As much as I think we should all warm up before doing any wods, I think this would not be as good for our gym as we want it to be. There are several people, in several different classes, who come straight from work and are anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes late for the class they want to attend. If they go home to wait for the next class to start, because you are not allowed to attend a class if you are late, there is a chance that they will get involved with something that needs done at home and never make it back to the gym. I have also visited gyms that just leave a clock running. People come at all times during a period of about 3 hours. They warm up on their own, start their wod when they are ready and record their own times on the board. I think what works well for us is to have an hour that works pretty well for a person’s schedule, and we can add a person in when the rest of the class started earlier. This does not mean you shouldn’t warm up! The person coming in late should warm up! The people who come in early to visit should warm up! Always make sure you have warmed up each of the movements in the wod and you have the weight that pushes you to improve, before you start the wod! Do what you should to warm up or work on a skill you’re trying to get. If the class won’t wait for you, start later. Or better yet, make them warm up with you!
