Having a safe and family friendly environment is extremely important to us at Arbor CrossFit. This is not just limited to the safety of our members, but also any children who are present at the box during group classes. If you choose to bring your children with you to group classes, we ask for your help to enforce these guidelines with your kids. 

1. Although we love all our Arbor fur children, they are not allowed in the facility at any time. If you choose to bring your dog, please either keep them in the car or outside the gym.

1. Mobile children are not allowed in the personal training room or on the black gym floor during group classes – This includes the warm-up, the WOD, and any post-WOD work. Mobile children must stay in the front lobby area. Infants may be on the black gym floor if restrained in a car seat/stroller safely out of the way of other athletes. 

1. All equipment is off limits to children at all times (excluding CrossFit Kids class). This includes workout equipment (the pull-up rig, rings, jump ropes, boxes, rowers, PVC pipes, barbells, kettlebells, etc) as well as other gym equipment (computers, refrigerators, clothing racks, shelving, decor, etc).

1. Help us keep the inside and outside of the gym tidy. Please ensure that your child has cleaned up after themselves before you leave the gym. This includes food, games, toys, etc.

1. Your child is your responsibility. It is not the coaches, other ACF staff members, or other athlete’s responsibility to manage, take care of, or discipline your child. If your child is doing something they aren’t supposed to do, please attend to your child immediately in a non-disruptive way. This includes if your child is yelling, screaming, or crying for a prolonged period of time. 

Please have a conversation with your children before coming to class, so that they understand what is expected of them. If your child is a continuous safety hazard or disruption, Arbor CrossFit has the right to ask that the child not be brought back to the facility during group class times. We would like to reiterate that we love having families coming to the gym together and we are only looking out for the safety and enjoyment of all members and their children. 

Strategies that could help your gym time being even better with kids:

• We understand paying for childcare can get expensive. Try reaching out to another member who has kids to set up a childcare trade. It’s a win-win for both of you! 

• Bring entertainment for your kids! We encourage books, iPads, puzzles, coloring supplies, etc. 

• Prep your children before you get to the gym. Communicate clear and direct expectations. Also, understand that young children may not perform exactly as you want them to and you may need to sacrifice your workout to help manage your child.

The global implications of COVID-19 are of genuine concern to Arbor CrossFit and our community. Never has it been more important to stay healthy, train smart, eat well, and take care of your body. We are committed to helping our community pursue health and wellness through this challenging time. As the situation with the novel corona virus continues to evolve, we wanted to be proactive in providing the following:

“In Good Health” Booking Verification

When reserving classes, each athlete confirms, at time of reservation, that they are in good health and have not been in contact with anyone experiencing symptoms of COVID19, as detailed by CDC.

New Waiver

We will be sending out a new waiver for you to sign. Please read this waiver as it has two (2) important changes regarding COVID-19 and our change to the hold policy.

Limited Class Capacity – Class Reservations Required

To adhere to social distancing requirements, we’ll be limiting class sizes to 10  athletes per class. This aligns with the state’s reopen plan, which states 10 as the maximum class size. Please only reserve one (1) class per day 

At Risk Athletes/Cautious Athletes

We will continue providing “At Home” workouts with a daily Zoom class at 5:30PM Monday through Friday. As with all our in person classes, our “at Home” program is subject to change based on attendance and/or if we hear differently from City/State officials about the phases we are entering. 

Preparations you can take for your in-person class

Review and know the workout in Wodify prior to arriving

Arrive 10-15 minutes early and WAIT in your car

Bring a water bottle, personal jump rope, small note book with pin

Entry and Exit

Entry to our facility will be through the main entrance. A coach will call you from your car when they are ready for you to come in. Please note, only athletes that are registered for the class will be allowed access to the facility. Both entry and exit points will be clearly marked.

No Late Entry 

Due to class size restrictions free trials and late entry will not be permitted. You must be in the parking lot prior to your class time in order to be ushered in by the coach. The entry door will be locked at the start of class.

Personal Belongings 

All items brought into the gym must stay within your designated personal space at all times to avoid congregating in the locker/lobby area – the lockers and lobby will NOT be available.

Kids & Pets

We love all kids (furry or not) and will remain a family-friendly environment. During these first few weeks, we kindly ask that all kids and pets remain home for their safety and the safety of others. 

Hands 

You must wash your hands before and after class. Please no high fives. We encourage air fives, thumbs up and “kill’n it”. 

Masks

Masks are not required for athletes but are strongly encouraged and considered Rx+.

Designated Personal Space – 6 Feet 

Please remain 6 feet away from all athletes and coaches at all times.

Equipment 

All equipment must remain within your designated personal space and sanitized at the end of class to help maintain class flow/structure.  

Sanitizing Station

We will continue with our sanitizing and cleaning procedures which will included athletes sanitizing all items that they used/touched. 

Coaches

Our Coaches will be required to wear a mask and gloves as well as wash their hands before and after each class. We ask that you keep 6 feet of distance if not further from all coaches.
