FreedomFit Culture

It’s great to have you as a part of our community! Here are a few rules we adhere to at Freedom Fit that best reflect our culture and allow us to create a fun, safe, clean, and respectful training environment for everyone in our community. This list is not exhaustive but covers all the main points. 

Please introduce yourself to new members. Our community is what sets us apart. We are a family. Please introduce yourself and help them get acquainted with our community. Some of your best friends can be made in this gym. 

Leave no man behind. If you finish your workout, spend the rest of the time cheering on the others until everyone is finished. We wait to clean up our equipment until the last person is done. And we cheer the loudest for the last ones!

Safety

Make sure to listen closely when your coach is talking. Even if you know the movement the person next to you may have never heard it explained before. And you may learn something new!

Please keep your bags in the designated area.

Scaling is not for sissies. Please respect the coach if they ask you to scale your weight or movement. They work to keep you safe and moving efficiently and effectively during the workout. Technique is more important than weight.

At this point, we are unable to provide child care.

Attendance

Sign up for classes through the GymDesk Members App; space is limited. 
The app is available in both the iPhone and Android app stores.

If classes are full, go on the waitlist. Often, people cancel, and you will be able to get in. Please cancel if you are not coming to make space for people on the waitlist. If you cancel within 4 hours of your class, you will need to call us at 719-822-5249. Cancellations made within 4 hours of your class may be counted towards your weekly allowance.

Being on time means being there a couple of minutes early. For every minute you are late, you will get to do five burpees at the end of class. Come early to use the restroom and socialize or stretch before class starts. 

Proper Care

Please clean up after yourself and help everyone put away all the equipment and put it back into its proper place. 

We are renting this facility from CSCS and want to be respectful by leaving it cleaner than we found it. Set an example that others can follow.

Please treat the equipment with care—no dropping barbells with plates smaller than 25 lbs. No dropping any other equipment (KB, DB, etc.). Also, please never drop an empty barbell, even when stripping plates; this can cause serious damage. 

Please don’t drag boxes across the floor or tie knots in the jump ropes.

Training

Be teachable. The coach is there to help make you better. And everyone needs a coach! Be humble and ready to learn. 

Be ready to keep count of your reps. And no cheating :). It’s more important to complete every rep with good form and the full range of motion. No matter how long it takes! Train with integrity. Your gains will come. 

Train Smart. Warm-up. Cool Down. And take rest days. Rest, nutrition, and sleep are critical to achieving results. You will need more than training and volume to reach your goal. Be a smart athlete. 

Wait to go RX until you’re ready. Lighter and correct is better than heavier and sloppy. We are working for longevity and fitness, not ego-lifting.  

Let the coach know if you have an injury. Every movement is scalable, and your coach will gladly give you another option if you can’t do something. 

You are responsible for knowing your limits. Our coaches will use wisdom to teach and push you, but ultimately, only you know how your body feels.

That’s it! We are so excited to train with you. For questions, you can call or email us. See you at the gym.
