Bob S. finished second in his age group this weekend at the WODFather 3 Masters Competition. There were three WODs plus a final WOD for the top 4 finishers. In this photo, Bob is performing in the final, which was max effort in two minutes of each of the following: rowing (calories), lunges or pistols, 75 lb. power snatches, and chest-to-bar pull-ups or bar muscle ups. (Pistols and bar muscle-ups were worth 10 times as much as lunges and chest-to-bar pull-ups.) Bob almost made it to the 2014 CrossFit Games and we interviewed him in May of last year about his intense competitiveness and training. Check it out!

Want to Work at the Front Desk??
CFSBK is looking for new talent to staff our beloved Front Desk! Responsibilities include handling inquires from walk-ins, managing basic membership issues, light cleaning/organization, and other miscellaneous duties. Ideally, we’d like to hire from within so that candidates are already familiar with CrossFit and CFSBK, but we are open to talking to new folks if they’ve got good people skills and are committed to joining the gym.
On top of an hourly wage, Front Desk staff will also receive a comped membership. We are looking for people who keep a consistent schedule and commit to six months of work with us (barring extenuating circumstances). Preference will be given to candidates with the flexibility to change shifts in the new year.
We will be interviewing this month and hiring a new staff member for immediate training. The shifts we are looking to fill are below, so before applying, please make sure these openings fit with your schedule:
Mondays, 5:45am – 9:30am
Wednesdays, 5:45am – 9:30am
Open availability during the week of Dec. 28th – Jan. 1st. is a plus!
Email Janelle [at] CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com to inquire and include Front Desk in the subject line.
