Expect to be challenged by the workouts, educated by our coaches and supported by your fellow athletes. Choose one of the drop down options below to learn more about different entry points into the program.

New to CrossFit?

New to CrossFit? Prior to joining we require completion of our Foundations program. We’ll teach you all the primary movements you need to be successful and safe in group class as well as a better understanding of the CrossFit methodology. Each Foundations cycle consists of four 90 minute classes which are capped at 4 students. All the major lifts and movements will be taught from scratch with an emphasis on technical proficiency and can be scaled for your existing skill level. Group cycles are appropriate for injury-free individuals.

Transferring from Another Affiliate?

Athletes looking to transfer to CFSBK should have appropriate CrossFit experience (about 3 months or more). CFSBK reserves the right to reevaluate a membership if a coach assesses concern in the quality of movement that could compromise the safety of the athlete. In these rare instances, the staff will communicate the concerns directly with the athlete and they will be required to complete a private training session (or multiple sessions) or to enroll in a Foundations program.

Transfer athletes may sign up with one of the memberships below or contact us if you have any questions!

Just visiting from out of town?

We love having CrossFitters from out of town drop in! We have two options below for you to consider while you’re in Brooklyn.

Fit55+

Posted on

Fit 55+: Staying Strong, Mobile, and Able

What is Fit 55+?

Fit 55+ is a strength and conditioning class for older adults who want to move and use their bodies and are not content to simply sit on the couch getting older. Research points to development of chronic disease in older populations not as a consequence of aging alone, but as a product of decreased activity and less-than-healthy lifestyle choices. Strength training and conditioning can help both stave off, as well as reduce, the effects of many chronic diseases. As the old adage goes: “If you don’t move it, you lose it.”

Fit 55+ will help you:

  • Build muscular strength and joint integrity
  • Increase and maintain bone density
  • Improve cardiovascular function
  • Improve pulmonary function
  • Improve balance, coordination, and mobility
  • Reduce your risk of falling (and be more resilient in case you do)
  • Maintain independence and improve quality of life

Who is this class for?

Any older adult who wants to exercise in a fun, safe, and inclusive manner. Whether you’re a total newcomer to resistance training or more of a veteran, our classes will challenge you to become better.

What does a class look like?

A typical class will start with a series of light warm up movements to get your heart and joints ready for exercise. From there we’ll move onto the strength training portion of class, using a variety of tools to help you develop strength. You’ll use both weight training and body weight exercises of the upper and lower body to develop and maintain muscular strength and joint integrity.

After the strength training portion of class we’ll move on to the conditioning portion. Here the goal is to get a bit sweaty and elevate your heart rate for a while to improve heart function and lung capacity. To this task we’ll use a variety of equipment and modes like: rowing machines, exercise bicycles, sled pushes, sandbag training, and bodyweight exercises, in addition to many others. The variety keeps it engaging and more fun (we think) than just walking on a treadmill for an hour. Finally, we’ll end with a few cool down stretches to relax your heart rate and your mind before you head out of the gym.

Schedule

Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11am

Physical Therapy with Coach Katie

Katie brings a collection of experiences to the table, combining 5 years on the coaching floor, 4 years in the clinic, as well as 4 years on the ActiveLife staff as a one on one programming coach for injury and performance. An athlete herself, Katie understands the considerable amount of hard work it takes to reach big goals, as well as the psychological toll an injury can take. If there is one major lesson that Katie has learned over the years, it is that with proper guidance through the rehabilitation process, one does not need to put their life on hold due to an injury.

Coach Katie believes that training individuals to return to sport is an art. It is a systematic, objective process that is tailored to the individual. When participating in one of her rehabilitation programs, it becomes no question whether or not you are ready to deadlift, run, or press a barbell overhead. It will be clear, because her system determines benchmarks to progress you every step of the way.

Her area of expertise ranges anywhere from the weekend warrior, to Sanctionals/Games level CrossFitters, Pro Strongman athletes, competitive powerlifters/weightlifters, and adaptive athletes. All in all, Katie is excited to have found the best of both worlds, where she is able to help people of all ages and abilities bridge the gap between rehabilitation and lifelong wellness/fitness.

Massage Therapy

Posted on

In our never-ending quest to be your one-stop fitness shop, we’re very happy to offer massage therapy with Leah DeCesare, LMT!

Leah is a licensed massage therapist in the state of New York, where she was born and raised. A graduate of the Swedish Institute College of Health Sciences in 2009, she brings a decade of professional experience to her table. Shortly after obtaining her license, she earned additional certifications in sports and medical massage. She has worked in personal training studios, chiropractic offices, private studios, various gyms, community health centers, and at a variety of races and athletic events.

Leah maintains that truly skilled massage therapy has been the most effective modality for any physical ailments she’s personally dealt with, and has made it her mission to frame it in the larger discussion of physical rehabilitation. Her sessions are resolution-oriented, incorporating myofascial release, deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, ART, and rhythmic proprioception rebalancing.

In tandem with her massage therapy study, Leah is informed by her own experiences as a competitive powerlifter since 2012. She competes within USA Powerlifting and is a former New York state record holder in her weight class’ Squat, Bench Press, Deadlift, and overall total in the raw open division. She has worked extensively with strength athletes since making lifting such an integral part of her life, so she understands common myoskeletal issues they often develop.
