The Body Forge Athletics and Fitness

Happy Saturday Body Forge Friends!! I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather. Just a couple quick house keeping things. If you use the free weights, please do your fellow gym members and gym staff a favor and put your weights back. If you use the dumbbells, please remember to put them on the rack when you are done, they can easily be tripped on and someone can get hurt ☹️. Please remember to fob in and not just follow someone in the door. Fobbing in serves multiple purposes for gym staff. So please remember to fob in or scan your app. Lastly, if you have mud on your shoes, please be kind and clean the mud/dirt off or change your shoes before entering the gym. 5000sqft of floor space takes lots of time to keep clean! Thank you everyone for doing your part and making Body Forge the premier fitness center it is!!

Happy New Years from all of us at Body Forge. We wish you many blessings in 2024!

From all of us at Body Forge, we want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!!

Your New 3A State Champions!!! Congratulations Cardinals!!!

Good news friends!! We have water again at Body Forge! Thank you for your your patience! Have a great rest of your day!

Happy Monday fitness family. The gym is currently without water. There is a water main issue and the city had to shut the water down in the area. We apologize for the inconvenience and will update you as soon as we know something. Have a great day!

Hey guys, could you please look at your home and see if you hae any of the gyms blue hand towels? If you do, please bring them back. We are down to 43 towels. If we can't get our towels back, when the 43 are gone, so will the towel service.

Thank you so much for your help with this,

Rick

Good afternoon gym family!! We have a few housekeeping things to discuss so hold on, this post might be a novel!!!!

As you all know, everything is more expensive since Covid, gyms have even started raising their membership fees. To ensure as many people as possible can utilize the facility to achieve a healthier life, BodyForge is working hard to be efficient, so we remain more affordable. To this end, there are a few patterns that have started that we need our gym family to help curb.

1. Members letting their non-member friends come into the gym. We have been increasingly catching people using other member’s fobs to come into the gym, who themselves do not have a membership. This is not fair to all the members paying to support the gym. We have also seen an increase in members fobbing in and bringing non-members with them, again, not fair to all the members who pay. I don’t know the percentage, but I think a larger percentage of offenders are the high school kids. Parents, if you could help us to make sure your kids do not do this it would help a lot!!!! If we as a gym family can’t curb this increasing habit, then we will have to start staffing the facility 24/7 which will require we raise monthly memberships. Please everyone, fob in, even if you are with a large group of people coming in and one fobs in to open the door, please everyone else fob in as well. This will help us in our endeavor to decrease abuse. I know you sometimes forget your fob, but everyone brings their phone, and you can now utilize the portal app on your phone to fob in.

2. Towels. I have always enjoyed working out in gyms that provide towels, so it was important to us to provide this service to our gym family. In 2021, we noticed an increase in towels leaving and not coming back to the point that we had to purchase more. In 2022 we have seen an even higher increase in towels leaving and not coming back. Like everything else, replacing towels is expensive and we are once again running very low on towels. If this continues, we will have to discontinue offering towels at the gym. This is something we do not wish to do but the price on them keeps going up. We understand forgetting and taking them home, so if you have towels at home please bring them back. No harm no foul, just please return them.

3. MUD. I understand living in rural America creates a lot of mud when it rains or snows. PLEASE bring an extra pair of shoes to change into while you are in the gym, we don’t want mud tracked all over the gym anymore than you want it tracked all over your house, please respect our facility as you would your own home. It makes your gym look trashy and it’s incredibly hard for us to keep up with cleaning it given limited staff. We need your help!

4. Gym Etiquette. Please, please, please return your weights to the holders when you are done using them. It doesn’t seem like a big deal but think about it. There are members who are not as strong as you and might not be able to unload the weights you left on the machine. If you are relying on Dan or Ann to unload for you, think about it. You are there for an hour, maybe a bit more. The staff is there for many more, so it becomes a great deal of work having to unload machines that members are leaving loaded. That is not fair to them or other members to unload your weight, it’s part of your workout. SO, if you are strong enough to put weight on machines, you are strong enough to take it off. We have been looking at the camera footage to see who is leaving weight loaded. We are formulating a solution to the problem that those not unloading are not going to enjoy, so please, just unload your weight when you are finished with a machine.

Here is the short of it all. We do not want to have to discontinue services or increase our monthly membership dues to cover the costs of the issues we are having. Electricity, gas, equipment repair, equipment costs, laundry soap, bathroom supplies, insurance, etc are increasing in price and we are working hard to be as efficient as possible. To do this we need your help. Let us know when people are in the gym that shouldn’t be, make sure you or your kids are not bringing in non-members, bring your towels back or better yet leave them there, and please stop tracking mud through the gym!!! If you, our gym family, can help us then we can avoid raising membership costs for as long as possible.

Thank you for your support,

Rick, Dan, Ann

The contraption is called a Plyo Swing, and according to Louie Simmons, owner of Westside Barbell and a leading innovator in the strength and power lifting space, it has a ton of benefits for athletes looking to explode off the football.

In a video posted to his Westside Barbell YouTube channel, Simmons says, “It’s a jumping device, not a leg press machine. I’ve had NFL players do 3 sets of 10 three times a week and say it’s the greatest thing they’ve ever used for coming off the ball.”

The faster you push yourself off the platform on the Plyo Swing, the more explosive power you’ll get in your legs conferring real athletic benefit.
