What’s that on the bar!?!

We go to the gym to be healthy and fit. Some might be leaving with more that just a great workout. Studies have shown that there are several bacterial and viral germs that have been found in gyms across the U.S. Most common is Staphylococcus aureus, or “Staph” A more severe version that has been documented at gyms is Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus(MRSA). This infection is resistant to the medications used to treat Staph and can infect blood and bones of your body.

So you are asking yourself right now, “Self?” How do I stay away from these germs and not get sick? Some might say to stay at home and avoid all human contact. But where is the fun in that? You can help yourself and your fellow CrossFiters by following some simple steps.

1. Try to not come in to the gym when you are sick. The WOD’s will be there when you get back, not to worry.

2. If you leave some of your self at the gym, please clean it up. If you tear your hands on the pull-up bars or bleed on the bar, please clean it up. If you have a tendency to tear your shins when you are Oly lifting, wipe down the bar. There is nothing better than finding a bar with dried blood on it.

3. Try to wash hands before and after using equipment.

These are just some ways to help keep you concentrating on your performance, and not catching some deadly virus. We have anti bacterial wipe for your use, feel free to use as many as you need
