Do you have a background in competitive athletics? 
What are the mental and physical benefits of competition?
Do you consider our daily WOD classes competition?

With a "100% chance" of rain after 6pm and us not being in the Lyceum this evening, we're going to have to Cancel Classes Tonight.  The Management (David) apologizes for the inconvenience.  If you talk to anyone else from class, please spread the word.

CrossFit Virtuosity and Brooklyn Boulders offer additional opportunities for training.  Members might also consider checking out the Russian Turkish Baths for some therapeutic Hot Saunas and Cold Plunges.

was made popular by coach Mike Rutherford. If you are able to complete
all the rounds,  first start scaling up until you can do the weight as
rx'd, then begin to add one rep to the circuit.  7 reps of the complex
