The Death of the Rest Day

For over 11 years, CFSBK has included 2 programmed rest days on Tuesdays and Fridays. Back at the dawn of CFSBK, the gym didn’t offer any classes on rest days—mainly because David was still working at Equinox, and there wasn’t anyone else to run classes—but soon thereafter, the concept of a rest day became baked into our programming ethos of balanced work and rest throughout the week. With our larger staff and more space, we were able to make split programming work on Tuesdays and Fridays while offering 5 unique CrossFit workouts each week.

After some reflection and discussion, we have decided to move away from this long-standing tradition and offer 7 days of unique programming per week starting Monday, March 25 to coincide with the conclusion of the Open. This change will make it much easier for our members to come to any class that makes sense for their schedule, not the gym’s. CFSBKers will be able to come in Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday now or Thursday/Friday/Saturday and get unique workouts instead of having to work around the rest day model.

Having these 2 additional days of programming will offer more flexibility in programming to work on things we don’t typically have enough time to work on, like mixed-modal aerobic work, more dedicated skill-work segments, mobility training, and more barbell lifting and assistance work. As always, we will work to make sure we offer balanced programming that takes into account joint actions, fluctuating volume and intensity, a balance of metabolic pathways in conditioning, and a comprehensive strength program cooked into what we do.

As always, we will share our training templates and intention with the community at the start of each cycle, and you can assess the schedule to see what days make the most sense for you, your schedule, and your training interests.

We Want Your Feedback!

We’re always trying to get better at what we do. If you have a minute, head over to the Feedback page and tell us about your experience at the gym. Your feedback helps us create a better environment for everyone who walks through our doors!

March 31st: Wim Hof Method Fundamentals Workshop at CFSBK

Put yourself in the expert hands of a certified Wim Hof Method Instructor to learn the 3 pillars of the Wim Hof Method: Breathing Technique, Cold Exposure, and Commitment. Find out how you can utilize oxygen and cold exposure to optimize body & mind, and learn about the underlying physiology.

The intimate quality allows for ample personal attention, and feedback tailored to your specific situation. Whether you are looking to improve mental or physical performance, relieve symptoms related to an illness, or are just curious to find out what the Wim Hof Method is all about— a WHM workshop offers something for everyone.

The program generally kicks off with an introduction to the Wim Hof Method, and always includes a breathing session and an (optional) ice bath. At the end there is ample room for reflection, and the Instructor is there to answer questions throughout the workshop. (Wim Hof will NOT be at the workshop.)

Instructors have their own specializations, and there is some variation across the individual workshops. A detailed overview of the day is sent out upon registration.

If you have no prior experience with cold exposure, we recommend you finish your showers cold in the days leading up to the workshop. This may be overwhelming at first, but just try to relax, focus on your breath, and bring it into a controlled, steady rhythm.

Date, Time, and Pricing

Sunday, March 31st from 2:15pm to 6:15pm
Price: $125

This workshop is suitable for everyone, but does require a basic level of health. Out of precaution, we advise against participation during pregnancy, or if you are epileptic.
