Here we are again to talk about scaling.
.
When one hears the world scaling, one might think, “okay, they are making it easier for me because I can’t do what they expect me to do”... WRONG!
.
Coaches scale a movement or a rep scheme for you to reach the goal of the session, whether it is the metabolic pathway we want to stress or the biomotor abilities to be developed. In that mix coaches also have to consider previous/present injuries that might limit one’s range of motion and their current level of fitness.
.
Scaling is not just to make a workout easier, that’s what we mean! Scaling means to adjust a workout to YOUR CURRENT LEVEL OF FITNESS.
.
Today we had to “scale up” a movement for the former gymnast and our coach @toes2bartracey, so that she felt challenged and reached the goal of the session.
.
Again, scaling a workout does not mean to make it easier; sometimes it means to make it harder... but it always means to make it BETTER FOR YOU.
.
SCALING IS ALWAYS A SMART MOVE!

[06/15/20]   Day 1 back open INDOORS!!

Message us if you’re looking to start working off the COVID stress!

[06/08/20]   Old Glory Gym is a community based upon integrity, respect, kindness, and acceptance. We believe in the rights of every human being, regardless of race, religion, gender, or occupation. We do not tolerate disrespect and we do not tolerate hate.

The recent comments by Greg Glassman, CEO of CrossFit, at best are insensitive, but at worst are disgusting and do not represent who we are, what we believe in, and what we hold true to our hearts.

Old Glory Gym was born from my vision to create a place where people could come together with the common goal to better their health through fitness; something I have spent my life learning how to do for myself. When I founded OGG, I intentionally did not use the word “CrossFit” in the name of my business. My goal has always been to pull away from “CrossFit” through understanding and growing to build programs that align with the needs of the OGG community. While I still love parts of the methodology behind what made CrossFit fun and appealing, the time has come to distance ourselves from the CrossFit brand to continue our own community of fitness and health, steeped in science and practice.

From a moral standpoint, we have an opportunity to take a stand against what we believe to be wrong, while strengthening our community to come together and further support each other. I am excited to move forward and take OGG where I’ve always wanted to take it. I’m excited to continue growing, learning, and introducing you all to even better methods to build better human beings.

What we gained from being affiliated was the public recognition of the general style of training we do. That will not change. We will simply be freeing ourselves from the increasingly negative connotation of the brand. While some of you have perhaps joined OGG because it’s a “CrossFit box,” many more have heard by word of mouth that this is a great place to get a good workout with some really fun people. That is what will remain and continue. And we’re so excited to move past this period of complex upheaval and see you back in the gym!

We are dedicated to a better you.

Jason Owner/Head Coach

Remember & Honor...

[05/10/20]   Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! ❤️

Old Glory Gym

As we continue to make our way through this strange time, some of our partners have come up with an awesome way to help support Old Glory Gym.

Thanks to Capital Brandworks, we have a great on-line platform for everyone to get some Old Glory Gym merchandise AND to help the gym rebound as we get closer to hopefully opening.

Please consider buying a shirt or several!! 🇺🇸

https://stores.inksoft.com/ogg/shop/home

Our friends at MightyMeals launched an incredible program aimed at giving back to your favorite local businesses.

Log on and buy a gift card for your favorite small business and earn double points for Mighty Meals!!

[03/16/20]   Old Glory Gym is closing it's doors effective midnight March 16th through midnight March 31st. We are proposing reopening the doors on April 1st unless directed otherwise or unless we feel it's still unsafe! You will find that a large number of local gyms and small businesses will be doing the same in the coming days; if they haven't already.

Until they cancel their services, Beyond Wellness (Dr. Jane) is continuing to see patients at Old Glory Gym. While the front doors will be unlocked during business hours for the Beyond Wellness patients, please do not come to the gym unless you are being treated.

What does this mean for you?

Workouts: We will continue to post workouts to @OGGOnTheRoad on Instagram as well as on SugarWOD under the 'OGG @ Home' workout track (Accessible by clicking the drop down marked 'Workout of the day') Look for us to continue encouraging you to remain active on our internal social media group.

Memberships: We will not be offering to freeze or hold any membership during our closure. If our closure lasts longer than the 31st of March, we will impose a hold to ensure charges do not charge on the 1st of April. If you are suffering a financial loss due to being quarantined or sent home, please contact me to discuss some relief. Any trial memberships and punch cards will still be honored.

Personal Training: All personal training is cancelled until we re-open. Any pre=purchased personal training will be rescheduled or have the expiration dates extended.

As you can all imagine, this is a tremendously difficult business decision but this was a simple personal decision when considering your health and the health of your families. We will get through this! We have such a strong community that I have no doubt we'll not only weather this storm but we are the only gym in the area that will make it fun!

As always, you can all reach out to me with any questions or concerns. Please don't hesitate!

Thank you all so much for being the best community I could ever hope to be a part of!

Jason

Morning, all! Core on 🔥!

Enjoy!

[03/15/20]   Effective Monday, March 16th, we are closing our childcare until Loudoun County Schools and Fairfax County Schools allows children to return to school. We will make sure to update everyone when this happens. Until that point, no children are allowed at the gym unless they are participating in training with a personal trainer, sports trainer, or are there to see Dr. Jane with Beyond Wellness for treatment. This includes bringing any children to the gym and leaving them in the lobby while you work out. If you show up to the gym with your children, we will ask you to go home!

Folks, I know this is not ideal and I know so many of you joined us because we offer this benefit. We will have childcare again once we know it's safe enough to have children at the gym and once we know the threat of COVID-19 is not so severe. Personally, it would kill me to see any of your children sick with this virus and I am not comfortable with the possibility of that happening at OGG.

While I know some of you will not be able to make it to the gym without our childcare, I have taken the time to create a new track in SugarWOD called 'OGG @ Home'. You should all have access to it (although you may have to log out and back into the app). Additionally we have our @OGGOnTheRoad IG account which Coach Peter has been adding content to for over a year.

Thank you for your understanding and hopefully we can all get through this sooner than later!

Stay Safe. Watch out for one another. Wash your hands. Be a human.

Jason

Most of the times, simple cues, demonstrations and corrections done one by one, individually, can be the most effective way to teach and/or fix one’s technique.
