KAIZEN (Steady Enchancment) – This weekend, we started to repaint the inside of the principle fitness center – one thing we love to do each few years – and we changed the outdated wood platforms at every squat/pull up rack with rubber stall mats. The wood platforms had been initially put in to offer higher foot stability for heavy lifts and olympic lifting. Nevertheless, we’ve discovered over time that the wood platforms don’t maintain up properly to the myriad workout routines that CrossFit packages. They take a beating, particularly with dumbbells, rowers and bikes. And, the wood platforms warp with climate adjustments and dent and chip with tools use. Horse stall mats, nevertheless, are bomb proof -especially the most recent variations – and they don’t have to be hooked up to the ground! And, they give the impression of being nice and can be utilized for ALL CrossFit workout routines, particularly burpees (ha!). To be sincere, I’m shocked we didn’t swap these out a very long time in the past.
Admittedly, Yvonne and I are a bit obsessive about making enhancements at Diablo. Once we see a greater approach to do one thing, we’ll often make the change – and consider member responses after. Optimistic adjustments, even the smallest, are a sign to our group that we’re actively concerned in our enterprise and we care. And, small optimistic adjustments hold issues recent and fascinating.
