Gym Rules and Etiquette for CrossFit Innovation
Gym Rules
A welcoming floor for every level
A few simple guidelines that keep CrossFit Innovation safe, supportive, and a great place to train — for first-timers and seasoned athletes alike. None of it is complicated, all of it matters.
Gym Rules / Etiquette
To help keep things running smoothly and ensure everyone has the best possible experience, we've put together a few simple gym rules. These guidelines are here to create a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for all members no matter your goals, experience level, or training style. Please take a moment to read through and help us keep the good vibes going.

Be on time
CrossFit contains technical movements that require your mind to be focused and your body to be primed. Therefore, it's critical that you arrive on time so you can listen to the coaches brief, learn how to perform the movements safely, determine an appropriate weight, consider modifications that may be necessary for your skill level or injury history, and then participate in the warm-up.
Let the coaches coach
Our members look out for one another, and that contributes to the team environment and community atmosphere we know and love. While support is great, giving technical advice and coaching to your fellow members is not. We have some of the best coaches in the business, all of whom have a comprehensive knowledge of our unique programming and how it can safely be applied to our members.
BE HUMBLE AND COACHABLE
Often, people enter the gym with predisposed ideas of what weights they should lift or, in an effort to keep up with somebody else, they'll attempt weights that exceed their ability. Safety and quality of movement are of critical importance to use. As a result, you will only be permitted to increase weight and intensity once you have demonstrated proficiency in a movement. Please respect your coaches and their judgment. We are not trying to hold you back – we just want you to progress in the most safe and efficient way.
