Box Rules

"Rules of the Box"

Check your ego at the door. In fact, leave it in the car on your way in.  CrossFit has the magical ability to make egos disappear. Egotistical exercise is not conducive to safety. 

Be a disciplined athlete.  Clean-up after yourself, put all your equipment back where it belongs when done and neatly store your personal gear.

Encourage others around you; Cheer, clap, and motivate others through the completion of a workout. Understand we all work tight schedules but try to stay until every athlete finishes a WOD! We may all be in different phases of the personal fitness journey, but we walk the road together.

Put forth you best effort every time; perform every repetition accurately, hold yourself accountable for correct or incorrect reps performed and consistently log your results.

Perform all movements safely; scale when necessary and refer to rule #1 when you form begins to suffer or when the RX weight or movement is too taxing.  Coaches will “assist” when they see unsafe movements.  Please don’t take it personally.

Nutrition is your foundation for fitness; hold yourself accountable for how you eat.  As you demonstrated discipline during a WOD, be disciplined with what you put into your body.  See a trainer for more specifics and remember that abs are made in the kitchen.

Show up early, stay late. CrossFit is more than just an hour of working out.  The Crossfit community is a unique culture and team.  You’ll find you have a lot in common with your fellow athletes.

Think you'll be late? Show up anyway! Life happens. You'll always be welcomed.

Have fun. Yes, you’re going to work harder than you thought possible.  Yes, it’ll hurt.  So what?  Recognize this is a small inconvenience to getting better every day, how do you know what your limits are if you don't test them.

You must get 6-8 hours sleep every night! Seriously!  This is where you will make your gains.  Sleep is like an express train for recovery.  Get as much as possible.

Get involved. Centurion CrossFit is an ALL-Volunteer Affiliate!  Our trainers volunteer their time because CrossFit is our passion and we love to see others succeed!  We are a family and you can get as involved as you like. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve, we would love to hear them!  We are also always looking for coaches if you are looking to take your CrossFit experience to the next level!

Do NOT drop a naked bar unless you fail a lift or fall.  We also ask that, unless it is a safety reason, do not drop plates that are smaller than 25#.
