Coach Whit and CFSBKer Lizzie D putting their fitness to good use

Coach Whitney wants you to Participate South Brooklyn Mutual Aid!

Inspired by my friend Katie M., I started volunteering with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid this summer, purchasing supplies or making deliveries with my car on a few weekends. This past Saturday, Lizzie D. hopped on board with me and we delivered groceries to 9 families in Sunset Park.

Here is a brief explanation of SBMA’s neighbor to neighbor food delivery program:

“This is about solidarity not charity. We’re neighbors helping neighbors. We live in a rich immigrant community that has often been barred or denied resources from the city, state, and federal government. This is about standing with our neighbors and making sure they have the food and support they need during the COVID-19 crisis.”

If you have interest in grocery shopping, food packing in the warehouse (put your heavy lifting to good use!), supply delivery, dog-walking, or otherwise sharing your resources with our community, you can use the form(s) below to get started!

Volunteer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid

BTC BrassTacks Series #4: Mindful Running & Safety, in honor of Ahmaud Arbery

CFSBKer and member of the Brooklyn Triathlete Club’s Anti-Racism board Michelle Z is putting together a community run in honor of Ahmaud Arbery’s death. You can learn more about the event and RSVP below.

BTC BrassTacks Series #4: Mindful Running & Safety, in honor of Ahmaud Arbery

Join us Tuesday, February 23, 8-9:15pm EST

RSVP Here

Join The Brooklyn Triathlon Club and Jasmine “Coach Jaz” Graham for this special event. This event is for current, previous, or aspiring runners of all experience levels – free and open to the public.

Through the lens of the sport, and in honor of Ahmaud Arbery who was killed while running on Feb 23, 2020, we’ll explore how to care for ourselves and the people around us. We’ll discuss running as a release of the stress we are all accumulating, listening to your body, tips to get and keep yourself going, and guidance to help you take your practice to the next level.

Then we’ll learn how to take better care of each other, by sharing stories and building empathy for our experiences running as marginalized people, discussing ways to stay safe, and how to be an ally to our friends and neighbors of all walks of life who we see out there alongside us.

Please join us for this very special session which is guaranteed to inspire you to tune in to your practice and the people around you, all in honor of Ahmaud Arbery.

Jasmine “Coach Jaz” Graham an RRCA Running Coach, Jaz has been a contributing coach to the New York Times’ Run Well program since 2010. She gives lectures around the country empowering fitness professionals to take their business to the next level. Jaz is an Institute Of Integrative Nutrition Certified Health Coach focusing on Women’s Health. For ten years, she’s been the running coach for Yachad, a global nonprofit that addresses the needs of disabled Jewish young people. For over a decade, she’s hosted a holiday gift drive for the Incarnation Center, an orphanage in Washington Heights for children and teens with HIV/AIDS. She’s devoted more than a decade to empowering people to feel strong, healthy, focused and fit and plans to continue for decades to come.

The BTC Brass Tacks Series is a monthly off-season virtual series covering practical essentials around Triathlon. The series seeks to distill and deliver seasonally-relevant information about all aspects of triathlon from starting out, training, racing and finding community. Aimed at both novices and experienced athletes, we endeavor to demystify triathlon, make it more accessible, and welcome more to the sport and our community. All from Brooklyn Triathlon Club (BTC), Brooklyn’s friendliest Triathlon Club.

Melissa K (right) recently got not only her first.. but first 45 kipping pull-ups last week!
A note from Mel: It’s Crazy cool! I could never do them before and then something clicked. Thanks to Whit and Ro for the great coaching! Whitney has been working with me on the skill Wednesdays this cycle and Ro helped me build the requisite strength in AGS. I’m so grateful for CFSBK, Going to this gym has changed my life. Jen feels the same way, We have been together for 16 years and I didn’t think we could be any closer but the gym has somehow done that as well because we share a love for it and go to all the same classes.
