1. Our beginners program just filled up!  Coaches Allison, Jacinto and myself are very excited to take our new athletes through CrossFit South Brooklyn’s first Foundations Class.  Please introduce yourself to your new teammates on Sunday morning.

2. Check out this article by Jon from AgainFaster (our primary equipment provider) about his experience with the POSE running method. Coach Allison was at the Cert as well and will be doing some Pose work with us in the near future.  As it gets nicer out we will be taking some field trips to Prospect Park and the Red Hook fields for some outdoor CrossFitting.

3. Just in case anyone didn’t get the email last month, please send me a list of 1-2 songs which you enjoy working out to and I will add them to the WOD play list.  Songs do not have to be Work/Family Safe however practice common sense when making your selections.

4. Our next addition will be another Saturday Group class. Please email me what times would be ideal for you to train and we will work around popular demand. (and the lyceum schedule) The new class will be added in 6-8 weeks.  While it’s a little trickier to get more Sunday classes at the Lyceum, we’ll do our best to add a second group class on Sundays as well.

Can you find Coach Allison in the background??

Your CFT is the sum of your best cleared lift on each movement. Competition standards and procedure were enforced by the coaches to ensure valid scores. The CFT is an extremely valuable metric by which our athletes can gauge their functional strength.

Congrats to Jeremy on a CFT of 1075

CFSBK will be rolling out our first "CrossFit Foundations" class starting on Sunday, February 10th.  The program will focus on learning the fundamental movements while developing some baseline strength and conditioning.  Each block will consist of 6 classes held on Sundays at 11am.  Students are expected to attend every class and must purchase all 6 sessions within the registration period.  If you’re new to CrossFit or just want to refine your technique this would be much more appropriate than jumping into the group classes. 

Establishing a solid foundation is essential for success in CrossFit.  Each class will include movement analysis and practice as well as some general strength and conditioning specific to the lesson. By the end of the 6 week period students will have established the physical competence to enter group classes so that they can gradually amp up the intensity.

Registration Period:  January 28th –  February 7th
Cost: 180$ @ 30$ per class
Class Dates: 2/10, 2/17, 2/24, 3/2, 3/9, 3/23
When: Every Sunday at 11am (classes are 1 hour in length)

To sign up or if you have any questions please contact David at: David@CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com

Current CFSBK athletes who sign a friend up will receive 1 week of comped classes!
