STRENGTH

25:00 For Load and Quality
2:00 row or bike
14-18 DB Bench Press
16 total FFE reverse lunges

Notes:
Challenge yourself on the Bench Press and Lunges. Bench Press should come within 1-2 reps of failure as long as your technique is consistent. Lunges should be taxing, but you won’t come anywhere near what feels like failure. Use the row/bike to keep your heart rate up but stay ar an aerobic pace.

METCON

Tabata Burpees

Perform 8 rounds (:20 on / :10 off) of burpees for max reps. The entire workout will take 3:50.

New Strength Cycles with Coach Jeremy

The Starting Strength program is an opportunity to spend 8 weeks honing your technique and increasing your capacity at the most fundamental strength movements: Back Squat, Overhead Press, Bench Press and Deadlift. This small group format of 90 minute sessions offers one-on-one guidance, great camaraderie, and a simple roster of movements allowing you time to correct errors and challenge your limits.
Whether you are brand-new to lifting, someone with experience who has struggled to surpass a plateau, or just looking to try something different, by taking the time to focus exclusively on the lifts that support almost ever other activity you do inside (and outside) the gym, you will gain confidence and enhance your performance.

AM Session: Monday Jan 4th – Friday Feb 26th (3 slots left!)
AM cycle meets M/W/F at 11AM
PM Session: Monday Jan 4th – Friday Feb 26th (SOLD OUT)
B Cycle meets M/W/F at 7:30PM

Your card will be charged immediately for $300. The second installment of $300 will be charged to the card on file automatically in 4 weeks. NY tax of 4.5% will added to all purchases.
Please note that anyone with a recurring group class membership will automatically have their group membership placed on hold for the duration of the cycle. If you’d like to keep it active or cancel it entirely than please email us.

Sign up for Anti-Gravity Strength!

It’s time to get back to work on all things body weight! A new cycle Coach Ro‘s acclaimed Anti-Gravity Strength class starts Monday 11/9. This class always (and we mean always) sells out quickly, so get on it!

Each AG Strength class will be an hour long, focusing on the strength and skills needed to improve pull-ups, handstand push-ups-ups, dips, muscle ups, pistols, kipping handstand push ups, kipping pull ups, kipping dips and overall strength balance. This will include a variety of skill exercises, progressions, weighted and strict practice, and other techniques to teach, develop, and perfect your bodyweight/gymnastic skills and overall stability. This fundamental strength work will carry over into other CrossFit gymnastics movements. The class meets 3 times per week for 8 weeks according to the schedule below.

SCHEDULE

1/18/2021- 3/12/2021

Monday from 12:30pm – 1:30pm

Wednesday from 12:30pm – 1:30pm

Friday from 12:30pm – 1:30pm

REGISTER HERE!

COST AND ELIGIBILITY

We have moved to a semi-private format of only 5 people per class.  That means more 1 on 1 time with the coach! The cost is $300 per month ($600 total plus NY sales tax). This cycle is open to all CFSBK members.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A CLASS?

The first class will begin with an assessment of each individual’s upper body push, pull, lower body and core strength. Once the assessment is completed, each AG Strength class will consist of skill work, strength development, and flexibility training based on your personal needs, goals, weaknesses, and strengths. If a member chooses to do a CrossFit group class on the same day, we recommend doing the skill and strength work from the AG Strength cycle first. Arturo can advise you on this on a case by case basis. Just ask!

Farewell 2020

As the year none of us wanted or expected comes to a close, we have to look back with profound gratitude for the community who supported us through this rollercoaster. And while the rides not done yet, you all showed up for us in so many ways big and small to get us this far and keep CFSBK a safe place to go (or login to) to get a great workout, blow off some steam and see friendly (half) faces. This year more than ever, we can appreciate the power that has on all of us. So while this new years eve feels less like the end of a grand cycle and more like being stuck in a revolving door, we’re thankful to be stuck here with all you amazing people. We wish you all the absolute best in the 2021 and hope that one year from today we can hug and hive five and raise a glass to the fact that we all also survived 2021. Happy new years from CFSBK.

Canned Food Drive

If you’re coming to the gym today, you’ve got one more chance to bring some canned food for the needy!

CFSBK is collecting canned foods to help stock our local food pantry and soup kitchen. CHIPS helps feed our neighborhood community by serving hot meals to as many as 350 people on a daily basis, handing out pantry items, and providing shelter for homeless young mothers and their infants. The most needed foods are canned fruit, canned vegetables, canned proteins (like fish and chicken), and peanut butter (plastic jars).

Please bring in any and all non-expired items that you would like to donate!
