as someone who grew up with a father who purchased over 100 businesses, how clean the bathroom was at a business they were looking to purchase was definitely on their checklist. It's indicative of how much they care about the employees, the business, and doing the little things it takes to be successful.
+Eric Cartman: while people spent years perfecting Olympic lifts, let's not act like it is the most complex to understand, there's a difference. To the extent the average person wants to use Olympic lifts in their fitness regimen, yes, the average CrossFit L1 coach absolutely knows enough to help that person. They can spot incomplete hip extension, early pull, slow turnover, immobility, etc..., and provide assistance exercises and cues to help. Most importantly, CF L1's ARE taught what they don't know, we are aware we're not suddenly Olympic coaches teaching world class athletes. The absolute foundation of CF coach education is to introduce intensity and weight loads ONLY as the athlete can tolerate it.
Not only are the bathrooms clean at my box, but the owner .. showed us newbies where the cleaning spray/rags are in each corner of the gym so we can wipe down the equipment after use ;-)
Is he serious? lol he would rather see people with poor form injuring themselves than a dirty bathroom lol. all it takes for a clean bathroom is a cleaner that doesn't determine whether or not you care
+Cameron Robinson People have to stop acting like less-than-perfection on a person's form is some sort of automatic injury. Tons of people have horrible form and never get hurt, while others have immaculate technique and still get hurt. CrossFit doesn't preach tolerance of perpetual flaws in form, but the fact is, some people spend years trying to perfect certain lifts and never get there. Like he said, it's a work in progress, and it's difficult, and it's important to keep working at it. Not taking your care of your bathroom is a result of your ignorance and apathy to take care of an important aspect of the experience for your clients and communicates "I don't give a ****," so yes, he is serious.

Never been to a crossfit, but cleaniness is a feature I look for in any gym. Actually any business.
Always been a tremendous source of inspiration for us coaches.

+Tighe Crovetti Yep, and in the Level 1 seminar it's taught as:
1) Mechanics
2) Consistency
3) Intensity
