Change is never easy. So as CFLG experiences growth and change, let's all remember a couple of basic elements of respect to maintain this great community.
1. Respect Class Time. One of the benefits of being located inside another gym, is that the cage is open for your use whenever the gym is open. That gives you plenty of time to do your own thing outside of class times. However, during class, the students taking that class have top priority. Please respect the class times.
2. Be Punctual. Please show respect for your fellow students and trainers by showing up to class on time. Occasional tardiness is understandable, but habitually coming late to class is disruptive. The warm up period is an important part of the class. Not only are the trainers trying to prepare your body for the rest of class with specific movements, but they are also providing you opportunities to practice some of the more difficult skills. If possible, make an effort to get to the cage a few minutes early.
3. Respect the Equipment. Remember to put your equipment back when done, and treat it like it is your own. Try not to dump your bar if it has less than 25 lbs. bumpers on, and please take your water bottles and towels when you leave the cage (your mom may train here, but she doesn't work here!).
Thanks for your continued attention to these details. We want all of our members to have a good experience.

ProAnox Systems Inc.
Some of you know me fairly well, while others probably just see me show up during classes isolating myself in a corner doing CrossFit related activities. I have been a part of CrossFit Los Gatos since before it was officially opened on January 1st, 2009. Actually, I met Sam at Golds Gym in 2008 while I was still a competitive bodybuilder and training with Jason Khalipa to support him in his 2008 Games Season.
I have always considered CrossFit Los Gatos my home. I have built friendships here that have blossomed into some of my closest friends today. It is easy to become friends with anyone at the Cage because they endure the same pain, same work load and same painful diet regiment regardless of age, sex or strength. Most of you have even been with me during my entire professional career when I started my first company right out of Santa Clara University.
Today I write to you so you understand what ProAnox Systems role will be at CrossFit Los Gatos. You may be seeing colors of black and green, while the trainers are having you focus on the ProAnox Logo during the lift to maintain good posture – all the while you're staring at the name wondering, “What the hell is ProAnox”?
ProAnox Systems is a corporate company that has teamed with scientists from Marian University and applied rigorous scientific methods to the development of nutritional supplements for the very first time. The result is the ProAnox line of products: clinically proven safe – and effective. Overall, the supplement industry is horrifying - full of charlatans who take advantage of an un-regulated industry and un uneducated public. We are much different. We often have local athletes who live in the midwest sit in on the Marian University Cell Biology and Biochemistry classes to learn more about the science and several local athletes are assistants in the research and development lab.
So what is our role in CrossFit Los Gatos? ProAnox Systems has partnered up with CrossFit Los Gatos as our home gym. We will not be making business decisions or changing class schedules, but rather supporting the athletes with gear and the affiliate with equipment. You may have even noticed a few shelves that you have been using for storage. This will be a mini supplement store within CrossFit Los Gatos. Various other affiliates we have lined up to participate in this program are, CrossFit West Santa Cruz (our sister affiliate), CrossFit Moxie, CrossFit One World and Lalanne Fitness. We have territories aligned so that people can buy our products at local CrossFit affiliates.
As most of you might guess, I have built a strong clientele over the years from CrossFit Los Gatos. However, ProAnox Systems wants you to buy all products from CrossFit Los Gatos, not at the store headquarters. ProAnox Systems objective is to drive income to affiliates as we blitz our marketing campaign to have all professional athletes and tested athletes buying from local affiliates that we have aligned with.
As CrossFit Los Gatos continues to grow, don't be surprised when you see more and more ProAnox influence within the gym. Just know that ProAnox is not coming in to take over but support the community that has been so generous to me.
Eat Right, Train Hard.
