You Lost It, We Found It

It's that time again, please come into the gym and check the lost and found container by the fridge for your valuables.  We've got a whole lot of water bottles, winter gear and even boots and shoes.  Please check the bin next time you're in the gym as we'll donate our findings to the less fortunate at the end of the month.

Ladies of the Competition Class

CrossFit South Brooklyn Competition Team!!

CrossFit South Brooklyn is proud to announce the launch of it's newest class, SBK Competition Team. This class is for the advanced CrossFitter who has an interest in competing in CrossFit on the regional and national level. Programming is challenging and focused. Attention is paid to the more esoteric aspects and full squat versions of the Olympic lifts, advanced gymnastics skills, team workouts, and WODs that hit harder in general. Scaling options for these WODs are little to none and srtict ROM standards are enforced. We’ve invited a few athletes to join the beta version of the class based on either previous participation in competitive CrossFit events, an expressed desire to compete, or the ability to do most if not all WODs Rx’d (and with competitive results).  We’re stoked to put together a team to represent South Brooklyn at the CrossFit Games and other events this year! The class currently meets on Tuesday at 7pm  and Sunday at noon and is by invitation only. Email Christian@CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com or Jeremy@CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com for info.
