Our Values
At CrossFit Urban Outlaws our values form the foundation on which we perform and conduct ourselves. These values underlie how we interact with each other, and how we go about our coaching. They are the practices we use every day in everything we do.
1. HONOR. At CrossFit Urban Outlaws we love what we do! All of our coaches are here to help you become a stronger person, both physically and mentally.
2. COURAGE. At CrossFit Urban Outlaws we have the courage to try new things and change it up. If something isn’t working or needs to be changed to better facilitate our members, we will do what is needed to fix it.
3. INTEGRITY. There are many definitions and meanings of Integrity. At CrossFit Urban Outlaws we focus on two in particular. The first is regarded as adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; the honesty and truthfulness or accuracy of one’s actions. “Doing what’s right even when no one is looking”. The second is in regards to structure. A sound, unimpaired, or perfect condition: “the integrity of a ship’s hull”. These walls are strong because of our members! Integrity defines our gym both structurally and morally!
4. COMMUNITY. At CrossFit Urban Outlaws we are a community above anything else. Every decision we make here is for our members. We want this to be a place you can not only get a workout in but also make lifelong friends.
5. DEDICATION. At CrossFit Urban Outlaws we are dedicated to what we do. We strive for excellence at all times. Our coaches eat, sleep and breathe CrossFit so they can provide you with the best possible programming available.
6. HONESTY. At CrossFit Urban Outlaws we strive to keep everything out in the open and remain truthful and honest with our members and expect the same in return.
7. NO ONE LEFT BEHIND. CrossFit Urban Outlaws no one is left behind. If we don’t hear from or see you for some time, you can expect to hear from us. We understand that situations and problems may arise during your time here and want to make sure you know that you will not be forgotten about!

9. SAFETY. At CrossFit Urban Outlaws we have Risk Assessments that insures the safety of our members and coaches by properly identifying any hazards that might affect ones safety
TRAINING CLUB RULES
COACHES SAY IS FINAL. Always be quiet and listen when the coaches are talking, don’t chat or make noise while they are trying to give instructions it is disrespectful and unfair on other members who want to learn. The coaches are only ever looking out for your best interests and training progress, they always have the final say, be respectful and do as you are told.
INFORM THE COACH. Please report any personal injuries, issues or specific concerns to the coaches immediately.
LEAVE YOUR EGO AT THE DOOR. Somewhere in the world someone is warming up with your max, nobody cares that you once benched 3 plates or half squatted 200kg for 2 and a half reps. There is no need to dig back into the good old days and brag about times past, nobody cares. Do the workout to the best of your ability today and move forward. Nobody likes unsolicited advice, so unless someone has a strong likelihood of hurting themselves or others, do not correct critique others, leave the coaching for the coaches and focus on yourself to avoid any unwanted gym drama and/or potential embarrassment.
SHOW RESPECT TO OTHERS. No-one likes a space invader, respect peoples personal space, one of the worst things you can do to a fellow club member is talking or standing right in front of them midset while they are attempting to focus on getting the most out of their set. Wait until that set is over before speaking your mind or walking past them. Leave the headphone guy alone, if someone is wearing headphones it does not only mean the individual enjoys music but it also probably means they do not want to be bothered. Headphones on means the rest of the world is turned off for that person. Whether you are eyeballing the girl in yoga pants or admiring the physique of a dude from afar either way its never cool to stare at people. The only person you ever need to be focusing on is yourself. Don’t disrupt other members workouts and always be respectful and polite. Yes polite, a foreign concept in this day and age, but trust us it pays dividends.
RESPECT THE EQUIPMENT. Dropping equipment is a last resort not a convenience. Bumper plates are designed for emergency dropping but if you are dropping every other rep of a workout because you can’t put it down properly it’s probably too heavy for you! Control the load, don’t let the load control you. NEVER drop an empty barbell unless absolutely necessary. If you cause unnecessary damage to any of the equipment due to idiotic behaviour, we will make you pay for it and you will be shocked at just how expensive gym equipment is.
CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR DAMN SELF! Put everything back where it belongs when you’re finished with it, coaches are not there to follow you around tidying up after you. You're not a child. After performing numerous sets with benches, barbells and ab mats they are bound to be covered in sweat, blood, and maybe even tears. Do the next person a favour and pay it forward by wiping that thing down after use. Pick up your used tape, pens, notebooks, scrap papers, chalk, plasters, water bottles and sweaty clothes. Try to keep the chalk in the chalk bucket.
DON’T BE GROSS! This may seem simple and common sense to most but there’s always one stinker at a gym that refuses to properly deodorise themselves. Let’s face it most gyms are generally smelly places but body odour just enhances the sensation making it ten times worse. If you don’t do it for yourself do it for those working out around you. Use deodorant and wash your gym kit. You really don’t want to be that guy/girl. No dirty work boots/clothes - this doesn’t need an explanation, it's just rude. Failure to follow this very reasonable dress code will result in denial of your workout.
YOUR STUFF IS YOUR STUFF. They are your personal items not ours so we will not take responsibility for them. Keep your stuff in your bag and you will be just fine. Reception is not a coat check, please do not leave bags/keys/phones there. Don't leave stuff in the gym when you're not there, we will clear it out. Storage facilities are not included in your membership fee.
CLASSES TAKE PRIORITY. When the group classes are running they take priority and are not to be interrupted by people using the open gym space, please do not take up class space or equipment if you are not involved in the class itself.
WE’RE NOT A RESTAURANT. No food or inappropriate drinks on the gym floor. You're at the gym, not at a restaurant or having a picnic. Obvious really.
KEEP YOUR KIDS SAFE. Children are welcome to watch their parents train. However, we also want to keep kids and everyone else in our gym safe. Please make sure your kids stay off gym equipment and away from the weights. They are your responsibility at all times!
WE HAVE NEIGHBOURS. We are based in a built up housing environment and want to be a positive impact on the community. When training outside of reasonable waking hours (9-8) Don’t play loud music and slam heavy weights. Be careful when exiting onto the road if you are running or in a car.
DON’T BE AN EQUIPMENT HOG. Almost every gym in peak hours will struggle with not having enough dumbbells/racks or benches to work with. What’s worse is when one guy has all the weights surrounding him because he’s doing dropsets. Don’t be THAT guy. Let others work in, a common courtesy to follow for your fellow brother in iron is to let them work in with you between sets. If at all possible help your fellow brother out by offering your spot on a bench/rack whilst you are resting between sets.
SHOW INTEGRITY. BE HONEST. Don’t cheat, no one cares what your score was but everyone cares if you cheated. Do every rep with solid technique, no matter how long it takes, you only cheat yourself out of the opportunity to become a better athlete and person, there is no honour in cheating, what joy is there in a victory you didn’t earn? Be honest with everyone and most importantly yourself. You know what full range of motion is, so there’s no excuse for consecutive poor reps.
APPLY COMMON SENSE
Also remember that there can be such things as too loud, gross, aggressive or rude – common sense rule applies, please be respectful and stay positive.
To summarise, be safe, look after yourself and our equipment. If you act like a civilised, intelligent member of society you will be absolutely fine. If you behave like an ass we reserve the right to terminate your membership without refund.

GDPR Compliance Statement
Introduction
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) comes into force across the European Union on 25th May 2018 and brings with it the most significant changes to data protection law in two decades. Based on privacy by design and taking a risk-based approach, the GDPR has been designed to meet the requirements of the digital age.
The 21st Century brings with it broader use of technology, new definitions of what constitutes personal data, and a vast increase in cross-border processing. The new Regulation aims to standardize data protection laws and processing across the EU; affording individuals stronger, more consistent rights to access and control their personal information.
Our Commitment
CrossFit Urban Outlaws are committed to ensuring the security and protection of the personal information that we process, and to provide a compliant and consistent approach to data protection. We have always had a robust and effective data protection program in place which complies with existing law and abides by the data protection principles. However, we recognise our obligations in updating and expanding this program to meet the demands of the GDPR and the [UK’s Data Protection Bill/ENGLAND DP law].
CrossFit Urban Outlaws are dedicated to safeguarding the personal information under our remit and in developing a data protection regime that is effective, fit for purpose and demonstrates an understanding of, and appreciation for the new Regulation. Our preparation and objectives for GDPR compliance have been summarised in this statement and include the development and implementation of new data protection roles, policies, procedures, controls and measures to ensure maximum and ongoing compliance.
How We are Preparing for the GDPR
CrossFit Urban Outlaws already have a consistent level of data protection and security across our organisation, however it is our aim to be fully compliant with the GDPR by [25th May 2018]. Our preparation includes: -
Information Audit - carrying out a company-wide information audit to identify and assess what personal information we hold, where it comes from, how and why it is processed and if and to whom it is disclosed.
Policies & Procedures - [revising/implementing new] data protection policies and procedures to meet the requirements and standards of the GDPR and any relevant data protection laws, including: -
Data Protection – our main policy and procedure document for data protection has been overhauled to meet the standards and requirements of the GDPR. Accountability and governance measures are in place to ensure that we understand and adequately disseminate and evidence our obligations and responsibilities; with a dedicated focus on privacy by design and the rights of individuals.
Data Retention & Erasure – we have updated our retention policy and schedule to ensure that we meet the ‘data minimisation’ and ‘storage limitation’ principles and that personal information is stored, archived and destroyed compliantly and ethically. We have dedicated erasure procedures in place to meet the new ‘Right to Erasure’ obligation and are aware of when this and other data subject’s rights apply; along with any exemptions, response timeframes and notification responsibilities.
Data Breaches – our breach procedures ensure that we have safeguards and measures in place to identify, assess, investigate and report any personal data breach at the earliest possible time. Our procedures are robust and have been disseminated to all employees, making them aware of the reporting lines and steps to follow.
Subject Access Request (SAR) – we have revised our SAR procedures to accommodate the revised 30-day timeframe for providing the requested information and for making this provision free of charge. Our new procedures detail how to verify the data subject, what steps to take for processing an access request, what exemptions apply and a suite of response templates to ensure that communications with data subjects are compliant, consistent and adequate.
Legal Basis for Processing - we are reviewing all processing activities to identify the legal basis for processing and ensuring that each basis is appropriate for the activity it relates to. Where applicable, we also maintain records of our processing activities, ensuring that our obligations under Article 30 of the GDPR and Schedule 1 of the Data Protection Bill are met.
Privacy Notice/Policy – we are revising our Privacy Notice(s) to comply with the GDPR, ensuring that all individuals whose personal information we process have been informed of why we need it, how it is used, what their rights are, who the information is disclosed to and what safeguarding measures are in place to protect their information.
Obtaining Consent - we are revising our consent mechanisms for obtaining personal data, ensuring that individuals understand what they are providing, why and how we use it and giving clear, defined ways to consent to us processing their information. We have developed stringent processes for recording consent, making sure that we can evidence an affirmative opt-in, along with time and date records; and an easy to see and access way to withdraw consent at any time.
Direct Marketing - we are revising the wording and processes for direct marketing, including clear opt-in mechanisms for marketing subscriptions; a clear notice and method for opting out and providing unsubscribe features on all subsequent marketing materials.
Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) – where we process personal information that is considered high risk, involves large scaleprocessing or includes special category/criminal conviction data; we have developed stringent procedures and assessment templates for carrying out impact assessments that comply fully with the GDPR’s Article 35 requirements. We have implemented documentation processes that record each assessment, allow us to rate the risk posed by the processing activity and implement mitigating measures to reduce the risk posed to the data subject(s).
Processor Agreements – where we use any third-party to process personal information on our behalf (i.e. Payroll, Recruitment, Hosting etc), we have drafted compliant Processor Agreements and due diligence procedures for ensuring that they (as well as we), meet and understand their/our GDPR obligations. These measures include initial and ongoing reviews of the service provided, the necessity of the processing activity, the technical and organizational measures in place and compliance with the GDPR.
Special Categories Data - where we obtain and process any special category information, we do so in complete compliance with the Article 9 requirements and have high-level encryptions and protections on all such data. Special category data is only processed where necessary and is only processed where we have first identified the appropriate Article 9(2) basis or the Data Protection Bill Schedule 1 condition. Where we rely on consent for processing, this is explicit and is verified by a signature, with the right to modify or remove consent being clearly signposted.
