Barbell rack in Fitness

Was walking around the Fitness, as I often do, to see if the space was a bit orderly, when I hesitantly saw a lady approaching me. Not really sure how to put it and have been walking around with this annoying issue for me for a while, so this lady spoke to me. I replied, "Tell me what is bothering you, maybe I can help you in some way. It turned out to be an incident that had taken place a few weeks ago. I wanted to use a certain machine that someone else had used a few weeks before, but the machine was still full of weights that the other person had left on it. I walked towards this person to ask him to remove the weights but quickly turned back because I saw that he was kicking other machines in a rather aggressive way to get rid of his aggression. This came across as rather threatening to me so that I deliberately did not dare address this person. You can imagine that I was quite shocked by this lady's story.
I answered her that we had set up the cameras so that we could see that people consciously leave the equipment behind after an exercise and told her that especially the Legpress was sometimes left behind full of weights. Via images viewed afterwards, I tracked down the person who was then blocked, with in the block of information, the reason why they were blocked. When people complained on their next visit that the card or phone was not working, the reason why the card was not working was explained to them at the counter and they were asked to pay attention.
In almost all cases, the response was positive and after their exercise, the people approached left the equipment tidy.
Now the apparatus in question in this case is out of view of a camera.
The lady in question was told that if she should have such an experience again, please speak to an employee of our Dojo so that we can take action.
Of course we do this without mentioning the person experiencing this.
Conclusion from this incident, please let us know immediately if you do not feel comfortable at our Dojo! Fortunately this is the first time I have been told this but wanted to let you know anyway!

Sonos and wifi.
It took a while but finally the music on both the gym and the Crossfight is running properly. Last Saturday, 2 separate wifi channels were created and they are wifi guests as well as wifi business. The word says it all, wifi guests, is accessible to everyone and the password has not been changed. So if you want to use wifi, search guests on your phone and use the password rockybalboa as before.
The only thing that is changing is that one stays logged in for 2 hours, if you are at the dojo longer you will have to log in again. The maximum number of wifi users has been increased to 198 users.
Wifi business is for personal use only so here the password remains secret 😉

Gala FPA club championships 2017
Last Sunday the FPA gala took place in Amersfoort where 10 youth members of Dojo Burning Heart participated. After an intensive and tough preparation led by our head coach Jeremy Blijd, our fighters stepped into the ring with overwhelming results. 8 wins, 1 undecided and 1 lost was the result of Dojo Burning Heart. Was unfortunately not there myself but it seems our trainers walked around afterwards proud as a monkey with 2 dicks. Before leaving for the gala our tough fighters were surprised with a gift from Diane Kool. In a nice box was a beautiful pendant with boxing ball, Diana very thoughtful of you!

Because the youth group is so close and almost always training, jerry has the following in store for them, I quote a Facebook post:
"Because the youth train sooo hard, the atmosphere is so great and the trainers do their best we are taking everyone who wants from the 18.30 youth group to the cinema!!!
SATURDAY 23 DECEMBER we will first do an awesome and fun training and after that we will all go to the cinema to see the new Star Wars movie!!! At our expense of course.
We will also fill you all up with candy and drinks :-)
Daphne, Jeremy, Samantha Salih, Noell, Twan, and I are very proud of you and this is how we want to show it. Starting tomorrow you can sign up at the bar."

Barbell rack 10 to 55 pounds
Took a while but while writing this blog I see on the always running images from the cameras that finally the Barbell rack has arrived.
Going to the dojo soon to use this long-awaited rack as the cover photo of this blog.
