You may notice that we don’t post many snapshots of our members or events on our website. Due to safety and privacy concerns, our current policy prohibits the use of cell phones and digital recording devices during training sessions and other events. Although we make every effort to ensure our members are adequately trained not to injure one another, we also strive to cultivate an atmosphere of focus, free from the distraction of cameras and other devices. We find this essential to facilitating healthy face-to-face interactions as well as ensuring our members’ comfort when pushing their limits without judgement or the risk of feeling unduly self-conscious.

Members who would like photographs of their experience may request a professional photographer during certain events. However, we are not in the business of helping anyone create content for their social media feed and feel it is important to counter the culture of narcissism that social media fosters. Therefore, photos are created for private personal use or for the purpose of promoting the organization only.

Press inquiries for images may be sent to [email protected]
