How to organize your Cross Training space

When we enter a crossfit box, gym, or sports installation one of the things that most attracts attention is the order and distribution of space. Think that organization and storage The sports material has to be done based on the needs of space and training that are carried out in that installation.

An orderly box will make Everything flows better, training, flow or transit of people within it, security will be greater and also an orderly environment generates that it is to maintain that order by the staff and athletes.

He bar storage either discs It is the most common in sports facilities. Depending on these we will find vertical supports that save a lot of space or horizontal if you have clear walls. For discs, the most comfortable are trees or vertical supports with branches, as well as cars. This placement allows you to take the album we want without having to take others.

The verticals of a single arm like the Bumper Stacker They are the most practical if the space is reduced, but they usually have the problem that sometimes you have to remove some albums to take those of the bottom.

Another increasingly used solution, and that in the Home Gyms is the most common, are the disc supports for Rack or wall.

Have the discs Ordered by pesos will facilitate athletes to find them, it will also expedite the rhythm of the classes, and as we commented if everything has a place, leaving it in another place is not an option.

Heavy material like dumbbells and Kettlebells Sometimes it is relegated to the cold ground. This, which in most cases is made due to lack of budget is a mistake. The occupied surface is greater, the impossibility of a good delimitation favors the disorder and point of view of the athlete on them does not favor the rhythm of the class.

However, with shelves for dumbbells or specific furniture for kettlebells, we won in space to overcoming Baldas and in order, because the shelves are the ones that are and outside them fall, so there is no choice but to place it well.

All this that seems trivial is essential when thinking about riding your box or sports installation. The material must be accessible, but it should also not interrupt the rhythm of the classes. Putting everything in a single wall invites agglomeration, a "Fitnerian vacui horror" that will make the stay of the partners less pleasant.

Try to distribute the material logically and use specific accessories that have the material in order. For example, a combas box is like putting 20 headphones in your pocket, that will have more time to unravel than WOD himself.

Place the material visible, which both rookies and veterans can access it is also basic, especially if you plan to create Open Box options. These athletes that go "more for free" must be able to access the material without crossing by classes that are giving.

The lighter material usually has the volume problem, as is the case of ABMATS, Foam Rollers, mats, Wall Balls… The corner is not its place.

In addition, everything that you place on the ground becomes a nest of dust or magnesium very difficult to clean and that is also something that athletes perceive.

Conclusion

Finally, an orderly installation is safer and more pleasant, so the partners will be more predisposed to spend time in it. And about safety, remember that we handle heavy material that cannot be feasible for falling because it is not in an adequate place.

And I reiterate, if in your box or gym everything has its specific place it is much easier to educate students and staff where everything is to go. And it is much easier to see when something is not in its place.
