WHAT IS OPEN GYM?
So, I'd just like to take a minute to explain exactly what open gym is... At this time, open gym is a free amenity that I offer to anyone who has purchased group session packages. It allows people to come in and work on "goats" or other weaknesses. It is not a time for classes or instruction. You will be on your own. On Grady Strength days, Chris will be available to help people with their technique, timing, etc. Chris's specialties are in powerlifting and strength development- I strongly encourage everyone to take advantage of this. During the open gym time frame, a staff member will always be present to help time, count, spot, etc. This time is allocated for personal motivation, focus, and accomplishment on your own accord. It is my aspiration that people will take what they learned during our group sessions and implement them. It is also an opportunity for you to get the best bang for your buck. If you have a special WOD that you would like to hit, would like to make up a WOD from our programming that you missed, or would just plain like to work on strength, that time is for you. As a previous open gym member, I found that time essential to drive myself. In the real world, we won't always have the crutch of a trainer to put us in check and drive us through the workout.
Open gym time will take place every four days when I work the firehouse and also runs from 9a-2p on the days I'm not at the firehouse (3 in a row). In an effort to keep our overhead low and thus keep membership prices low, we will be trimming down some of the hours. Operating hours will now be posted daily on the blog, on the door of the gym, and in the box. The following are the hours for FRIDAY 062411:
FRIDAY 062411
6:00 am Group Session
12 noon Group Session
