When it comes to being proud of what you do and what you have, 4 people more than any have shown me the way. The first two are my parents I was taught it from an early age and for most the time I lived up to it even if it didn’t show at times it was always in the back of my mind. Years later I was reminded of its importance in running a successful business by Grant “Welshie” hughes and Ben “Speedy” Thompson. These two ran a super tight ship and it inspired everyone around them, especially me to do my best.
Even before I opened Southern Peak CrossFit one of the main points I was going to put a lot of time and effort into was making sure all members were inspired to show the pride just like myself. It was up to the staff to and especially me to lead the way. Run a tight ship and make everyone who came in happy and proud to be here.
Showing pride can be very simple and to be honest you have all done it on plenty of occasions through out the short life span of the gym and I thank you for that. But lately it has changed a little bit, people have become a little complacent. I see it when equipment is just thrown back where ever there is room rather than putting it back exactly where you found it, that is if it is put away at all (bands hanging on the rig!). It shows in what you bring in to the gym from under your shoes, a good saying to enter the gym by is “If you don’t want to burpee in it, don’t bring it in (Grass, Dirt, Glass etc.)”. It also shows in who gives their equipment a small clean afterwards we have spay and cloths by the whiteboard at all times.
We reminded you from the start and everyone were happy to keep the place tidy but standards have slipped lately and it is time to show some pride again. If your standards have slipped it must mean my standards have slipped which is unacceptable so from now on I hope we can all get back to showing the pride the gym deserves.
