Friday 12.6.24: Join or Die movie screening
Join or Die – a Phoenix and CrossFit South Brooklyn film screening
The Phoenix and CrossFit South Brooklyn invite you to watch Join or Die, a film about why you should join a club. Watch the trailer here.
In the 1970s, Harvard professor Robert Putnam was an obscure academic when he happened upon shocking social science data out of Italy that would propel him on a half-century quest to
investigate a hunch he had about America’s civic decline. His best-selling book Bowling Alone, which charted how Americans were becoming increasingly isolated from one another, would be a watershed in the history of popular social science, spurring debate in newspapers, Congress, and on popular talk shows. In Join or Die, we join Bob in the final years of his quest, as he looks back on all the evidence he has gathered on the link between ordinary community connections and the fate of American democracy. But as we do, we flash back to bring the audience along on Bob’s decades-long social science roller coaster ride to explain what’s at the heart of the unraveling of American civic life — and, most importantly, what we can do about it.

Saturday 12.7.24 “What is CrossFit?” member event
When: Saturday Dec 7, 1:30-3:30pm
Where: 597 Degraw St
How much: Free!
Join your fellow athletes and coaches for an afternoon of education and Q&A. Whether you’ve been a member for over a decade or just a few months, our guess is at some point, you’ve likely fielded some version of the question… “What is that CrossFit thing you do, anyway?”
During our time together, we’ll dive into some details that we don’t frequently have time to discuss in group classes. Come learn about the CrossFit methodology and the ways we define (and develop) fitness. You’ll walk away with a better understanding of the foundations of our approach. Our hope is that it will empower you to keep making effective choices in the direction of your health and fitness!
We’ll Discuss:
- Understanding CrossFit & the virtue of fitness
- The four models of fitness
- Nutrition
- Q&A
We’ll leave some time for questions, some come with those burning inquiries about programming, coaching, nutrition, scaling, how the gym works – any and all of it.
We’ll have some light snacks and beverages available to share.
Register for free here!

Sunday 3.30.24 Wim Hof Method Fundamentals Workshop
Put yourself in the expert hands of a certified WHM Instructor to learn the 3 pillars of the Wim Hof Method: Breathing Technique, Cold Exposure & Commitment.
Find out how you can utilize oxygen and cold exposure to optimize body & mind, and learn about the underlying physiology. The intimate quality allows for ample personal attention, and feedback tailored to your specific situation. Whether you are looking to improve mental or physical performance, relieve symptoms related to an illness, or are just curious to find out what the Wim Hof Method is all about— a WHM workshop offers something for everyone.
The program generally kicks off with an introduction to the Wim Hof Method, and always includes a breathing session and an (optional) ice bath. At the end there is ample room for reflection, and the Instructor is there to answer questions throughout the workshop.
Instructors have their own specializations, and there is some variation across the individual workshops. A detailed overview of the day is sent out upon registration.
If you have no prior experience with cold exposure, we recommend you finish your showers cold in the days leading up to the workshop. This may be overwhelming at first, but just try to relax, focus on your breath, and bring it into a controlled, steady rhythm.
Who is this workshop for? This workshop is suitable for everyone, but does require a basic level of health. Out of precaution, we advise against participation during pregnancy, or if you are epileptic. People with cardiovascular issues, or any other serious health conditions should always consult a medical professional before starting the Wim Hof Method.
