Gym Organization

In our gym we have those awesome shelving units from IKEA, not to mention there's one to my left as I type this blog post. Attempting to keep our gym clean has been a struggle to say the least. Things have gone lost, glasses stepped on, phones misplaced... Many times if stuff is just put on a shelf, they somehow disappear into thin air! 


Now if things were put into a box on a shelf, perhaps we could keep our belongings safe while having a sharp clean image. With the high expectation of the gymnasts to have perfect form and clean routines we also want our training environment to reflect our performances. If we can keep our gym clean and organized, we can focus on our training without tripping over each others belongings or worry about where things are in the gym.


I've recommended to my team(s) to bring in their own boxes. They can have their own space & fill it with their hearts desires. To be fully prepared for anything that might happen in gym here is a sample list of what a gymnast might need in her cubby:

-grips

-wristbands

-gloves

-athletic tape, pre-wrap

-wrist, ankle or knee braces

-extra leotard

-extra gym shorts

-extra hair bands/clips

-hairspray

-tampons/sanitary pads

-ankle weights (ALL team members MUST have their own)

-water bottle

-deodorant

-Chapstick 

-a picture of their favorite gymnast!
