Exercise Routines

[LPGuy]

Anyone else here work out in uniform? Because of my schedule, I don't have a good time to work out except for during a break on my shift. I work out in full uniform, duty belt and 5" Bates tactical sport boots included (I still need to respond to calls when they come in).

I hit the gym and also run on the treadmill since it's still been fairly cold outside lately. I wish I could change into running shoes, but the boots are fairly comfortable.

we actually aren't permitted to go any where but to and from work in uniform, I wouldn't want to any way. our uniforms suck. www.turnersec.com

Expensive Safariland rigs on those guys, but horrible Quartermaster "polo" shirts with the badges put too low...

I can see why.

keeps me cool in the summer time though, that is the only thing good about them.

The gym is located in the building that I work at (a school campus).

Never ceases to amaze me how little thought seems to go into some uniform selections, starting with the public relations impact of different designs, to say nothing of their operational implications. You can see this also in the juvenile names some services give themselves, as well as in poor vehicle graphics and company logos. This is to say nothing about poor company website design and function...which is a whole nother discussion.

Security companies should recognize the enormous opportunity they have to shape their image visually with their names, uniforms, vehicles, logos and websites if these things are done right. When they're done wrong, on the other hand, the impact is equally negative. They should spend some bucks (which is much less than the return they'll get) and seek professional design and website guidance from people who know what they're doing in these areas.

The only companies I worked for that had decent uniforms was Wackenhut and Transcor America.

You nailed this point. Security companies that supply "goofy" looking uniforms also create low morale for the unfortunate guards who have to be seen in them, whether on the job or by neighbors when returning home.

[tlangsr]

as one of those unfortunate guards I agree. I have seen it. and I am embarrassed to wear the damn thing.

[Guest]

and I am embarrassed to wear the damn thing.

I stand corrected. You don't have standards.

I wouldn't wear something that embarrasses me.

[tlangsr]

I wear something that embarasses me because it is what I have to do to take care of my family, I'd wear a clown costume if it paid the bills, and put food on the table. The fact that I can do so makes the embarassment worth it. It is called being a man.

Very well said.

[tlangsr]

hell, I thought so. Notice he didn't answer me.

Gee, I wouldn't have thought it possible to find clothes (or much of anything else) that would embarrass you. "Mr. Pride", you ain't.
