🎸 Wednesday 4/29: Suzanne Michelle Album Release / 40th Birthday Party

Come join Suzanne-Michelle’s birthday and album release party – why have one milestone when you can have two?! Doors open at 8:30pm, and gym members get in free. For everyone else, a donation/entrance fee QR code will be available inside, with proceeds going directly to the musicians.

It’s going to be a stacked night with a DJ, a live music act, a bartender, and plenty of birthday magic. As Suzanne-Michelle said, “Hi! It’s my birthday party, and you’re invited. I think I’ll release a Hip Hop album while I’m at it. Then, I will melt your face off and perform on Aerial Pole. It’s gonna be huge!” Come through and keep an eye on her socials for fun birthday sneak peeks!

🎤 Friday 5/1: Strong Sets Comedy Show

“Strong Sets” features some of the best stand ups in NYC performing, you guessed it: stand up comedy. They are the only comedy show in the world that is performed at a gym (false but fun to claim). And, therefore, are the strongest comedy show in the world. Full stop.

🇺🇸 Monday 5/25: Memorial Day Murph

This year will be our 19th annual Memorial Day “Murph” event! As always, we’ll be running heats of this workout all morning  with the CFSBK community.

The workout:

For time:
1-mile run
100 pull-ups
200 push-ups
300 air squats
1-mile run

Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed.
If you’ve got a 14/20-lb vest or body armor, wear it.

Scaling: We will provide several modified versions of Murph which you can choose from to get a challenging but appropriate experience. While this workout will be challenging, the event is completely inclusive and everyone will be able to participate regardless of ability.

Who was “Murph” and our benefactor K9s for Warriors

Memorial Day recognizes the human cost of war. We perform this workout to reflect upon the realities and ultimate sacrifices service members have made while serving in the United States Armed Forces. For some additional context about this event check out these reflections about Memorial Day Murph from CFSBK coaching alumni Noah Abbott.

This workout is dedicated to United States Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy who perished in 2005 during combat in Afghanistan. Michael Murphy was posthumously awarded the medal of honor and purple heart for his service. He was also CrossFitter who created this workout which he originally called “Body Armor” because he would perform it with his body armor vest that would be worn during deployment. This workout was later renamed “Murph” in his honor and is performed all over the country and beyond on Memorial Day.

Murph is a free event and we request that members make a donation on behalf of team CFSBK to K9s for Warriors which trains service dogs for veterans suffering from PTSD.

🏳️‍🌈 Saturday 6/27: “Stonewall” at CFSBK

This workout commemorates the Stonewall Rebellion, a week long demonstration and riot that started on 6/28/69 and is considered to be the start of the LGBTQ+ rights movement. We wrote this workout in 2018 and its become one of the staple pride workouts in the CrossFit community across the world!
