We’ve finally been squared away with the Lyceum and will resume training on Saturday, December 8th at 10am. There were some scheduling conflicts this weekend which prevented us from starting on the 1st, however we now have guaranteed Saturday and Sunday slots for the next 5 weeks.  After a few trial classes, the Lyceum will entertain our proposal to add a Wednesday class as well as one-on-one sessions in the near future. 

Our new space includes; permanent storage for more strength equipment, 4000sq. feet of open space, convenient location off a major avenue and subway line, bathrooms, an in-house coffee shop for refreshments and free publicity for further expansion. For more information please check out the updated "Location" link on the left column of our site.

Just a reminder that we will not be having class this weekend as I will be out of the city until Sunday afternoon. I’m still working out some of the logistics with the Lyceum (insurance, equipment, etc.) however we should be resuming classes by Saturday, December 1. Stay posted for updates and possible schedule changes.

Also, I’ll be ordering more equipment by the end of the week so please look forward to an expanding list of available exercises for the WODs.

CrossFit Pittsburgh Cert

I just got word back from the programming director at the Brooklyn Lyceum that they would like to host CrossFit South Brooklyn! We still need to work out some formalities but expect us to resume classes indoors within 1-2 weeks.  We will continue our previous schedule and if there is interest (which there will be) look forward to a Wednesday class. Bumber plates and barbells, more kettlebells, parallettes and more goodies soon to follow!

Stay tuned for more updates.

Classes are canceled this weekend (17th & 18th) as I will be attending a CrossFit cert in Pittsburgh.

As much fun as it has been training outside through the season, we will no longer be meeting in the park for weekend classes.  The program has been tremendously successful and we are ready to take the next step in our evolution.  I’m currently in the process of confirming an indoor rental location and expect to have something definite within a week or so.  Please expect further improvements to the program like more equipment, a Wednesday class and best of all, bathrooms!

Stay tuned for more updates.

The success of this program is all due to the commitment and spirit of our dedicated athletes. You are all CrossFit South Brooklyn.

Vertical bars are a great tool to help develop an overhead squat. A mature OHS has the bar directly in the frontal plane above the middle of the foot. Jamaal’s OHS is developing nicely so we can place his medial arch very close to the bars.
