JUST like our Paleolithic ancestors.

We Want YOU to Join Team CFSBK!

The first WOD of the 2011 CF Games Open Sectionals will be announced tonight.  We have a number of athletes already slated to compete but we really want to cheer YOU on.  We want to encourage any athlete who can do the WOD Rx'd to participate in Sectionals whether you think you'll finish first or last. 
Plus, no matter what your place it'll help our affiliate team score points that'll help get them closer to heading to the Games. 

Check out the CF Games FAQ on why you should compete whether or not you think you have a shot at Regionals here

Need further encouragement? Check out CrossFit LA's Andy Petranek's awesome piece 'Finding Purpose' on probably the best reason to participate. 

If you're in then head here for all the details and registration info.

We look forward to cheering you on!

Competition Class Schedule Change

This week due to the CF Games Open Sectionals our Competition Class is moving from Tuesday at 7pm to Wednesday 3/16 at 7pm (Due to St. Paddy's Day).   Starting next week the class will be held on Thursday at 7pm and will continue until the end of Sectionals.  Additionally there will be no Sunday competitive class for the next 6 weeks. 

Schedule Change this Weekend

Also due to the Sectionals we will not be having 12pm group class, Active Recovery or CrossFit Kids on 3/19 and 3/26.  All other Saturday classes will continue as usual.
