Chris Sinagoga | Saturday, February 22, 2014 at 1:00PM Open mobility next weekend will be open to the following people:
- Jason
- David Sap
- Megan Kav
- Erin Kav
Once more people can realize that Open Mobility means you actually have to mobilize for an entire hour and do it quietly, then I will open it up again.
Ricky, Jason, and JZ giving a new meaning to Partner Overhead Squat in during some down-time.

Rubbish and counter-productive!
oops once again that comment was from Mrs. Carey!
How do we learn if we can't go to open mobilties
I've already said this, but I feel like it needs saying again.
1) Humans are social beings. Just because you aren't one doesn't mean everyone else isn't.
2) They get enough of the forced silence at school.
3) It's called open mobility for a reason. Kelly only prescribes 15 minutes per day, so the fact that we all mobilized for at least 30 minutes is good.
4) There is absolutely no need to schedule your fundamentals session while a large group of people is at the box. It is distracting to the athlete in fundamentals whether we are talking or not.
5) If people aren't invited they are most likely not going to mobilize as much as they usually do. This might be because they do not have access to the bands/bars or it might be because mobility is boring to do by yourself.
The solution: Let us have a true open mobility session. If you want our community to remain unparalleled you have to welcome the fact that community means talking, hanging out, and having fun. Schedule your fundamentals before or after. If you schedule it before you can clean while people are mobilizing if you want. I will even help you after I take care of the mobilities that I need.
I agree with Murley, I know when I go to open mobility I mobilize for the whole hour and sometimes longer along with quite a few others.
Murley ' right! And I know for a fact that they were all talking too! Maybe you shouldn't schedule a fundamentals while we're doing mobility. It's unfair to us, and the person in the fundamentals session.
"If you want our community to remain unparalleled you have to welcome the fact that community means talking, hanging out, and having fun."
^^ I love when this happens...beforehand or after a session is over. There are times to do it and times not to. If you can't wait to socialize until after you take care of your business for 50 minutes to an hour, then you need some work.
Believe it or not, Saturday is probably the most busy day of the week for me. Aside from the one-on-ones, this is when I get most of the cleaning, organizing, and website work done - which usually gives me about an hour or two of free time towards the end of the day - a major rarity throughout the week.
At the moment, I typically only have the time and energy to do them at the same time as fundamentals for the people than have the ability to keep it down for about an hour. That will change during the summer - when there are much less one-on-ones, more people, changed days, and it will be a structured class instead of open. If it temporarily means less people show up, I'm cool with that. You guys will live for another week, learn, than maybe be back at it in two weeks.
Not debatable on this one as of now.
Like ep said even those four talked so if you want it silent then there should be no open mobility its not fair to only allow four people when they talked just as much everyone else
I have to agree with Ricky on this one, they socailize with everyone also so to say that everyone, excluding them four, can't stay quite while mobilizing isn't an accurate assumption.
Jacqueline and Ricky pretty much summed up what I was going to say, but even if it's not as much about the talking as it is about mobilizing the whole time, I'm positive that those 4 weren't the only ones mobilizing the whole hour
I mean that i know everyone talks and not eveyone mobilizes the whole hour but i think there is a better way to deal with it
I can easily host an open mobility session. You can easily work on the website while we are there. If your entire saturday is taken up you are not working efficiently, you need to ask for help or something. I can usually give an hour up to help clean, and I think if you made that part of the mobility session afterwards the cleanup would take 1/5 as much time as it does now.
Why does it have to be silent I mean its not like you have to put a large amount of thought in to mobilizing
And I talk maybe a little bit more than other people in the gym and not gunna lie it pisses me the f*** off when you (Christian) single me out when literally everyone else is talking (just expressing my emotions through the comments)
Just because I wasn't silent doesn't mean I wasn't mobilizing the entire hour. I was and so were a lot of people. Like ricky said, either do open mobility or not, don't single out the kavanaughs, jason and sap.
I agree with the above comments, and because if people come to our box for not only the workouts themselves, but for the fun environment, the idea of a silent open mobility kind of contradicts what we say is the difference between other crossfit groups and ours.
I never assumed it's impossible to talk and mobilize at the same time. But unless you are one of the people I mentioned above, I doubt you have that ability all the time. Bottom line: it should not be hard to focus for an hour then goof around after. You do it fine during the week. Saturdays should not be an exception.
Erika, you weren't there, so you kinda caught a bad break.
If you really were mobing the whole hour and I missed it, you also caught a bad break I guess. Probably best not to leave any doubts next time.
This is honestly the dumbest decision you've made. So what happens if I show up to mobilize next weekend? This is just pissing people off. Why do we have to mobilize for the full hour? If we got our mobs in that we needed/wanted that day then why can't we just chill and hangout afterwards during that hour? not all of us have time to stay afterwards and just hangout to talk, so shy not do it during the open session. we talk during regular days in the time that you set out for mobing. You always say during the warmup "Hey save the conversation for mobility." So why is it different during Saturdays?
What about those who pay for themselves? My sisters and I pay for ourselves and try to get our money's worth.
I say that we just dont comment on the website anymore, let's see how he like s us not taWlking
