Due to Hurricane Sandy’s increasing winds and forecasts for today, CFSBK is closed. Please stay safe and inside!
Alex V from the Brooklyn Community Foundation speaks at Fight Gone Bad 2012
Congrats to Gowanus Clean Up Crew, Avi’s Calves and Better Late Than Never on a successful Fight Gone Belated yesterday afternoon! We’d also like to thank all the folks who hung out to spectate and cheer them on!
Tomorrow
Tomorrow’s AM classes are cancelled as the storm is predicted to be most intense tonight and tomorrow morning. We’ll see how the weather develops throughout the day. We miss you!
Looking for something to watch? Check out the Mikko Salo Documentary. So awesome!

Some reports of winds being up to 70mph by two. Better safe than sorry, don't want anyone getting caught
Where's the hurricane party at?
Thanks for lookin' out for those of us who would have tried to get over there, hurricane be damned. Have a good, safe day.
I heard that there's some sort of hurricane party happening. Anyone have any leads on that? I have plenty of wine and hard salami I can bring…
Darn! I thought there would be some surprise workout called Sandy with rain, wind and sandbags!
I think a Sandy workout should involve the following :
*farmer's carry to ready ourselves for carrying extra water
*bicep curls to prepare for the drinking that has to get done
*wall ball to simulate tossing pets and small children to safety on rooftops
I'm down for hurricane party! I can bring board games…
Stay safe, everyone.
Thanking my lucky stars for CFSBK – without it, I wouldn't have friends just three doors down, which is a very good thing to have in one's back pocket when one lives alone. I ain't afeared of no storm, but more than a couple hours alone without power would drive me to the brink.
It's very strange not to be there, but I am thinking of you all and hoping you stay safe! Dust off your best storytelling skills and drink up!
I would love to attend a party versus working remotely from home. When I was kid… and while my parents weren't looking, I went outside to play in the rain during Hurricane Gloria circa 1985.
does anyone want to meet at the red hook track?
Uh . . . Nick, is it too late to sign up for that rowing class?
i bet none of those women on thrustr can do a pull-up though.
Mikko Documentary was awesome. I hope he goes for it in 2013.
Yeah- If you've never seen the Mikko Doc I highly recommend it. What a badass. People say the 09 Games were the hardest to date, especially day two. There were like 7 WODs..
Mikko is the man, great ambassador for CrossFit
To me, one of the many ironic things about CrossFit folk is..
In some of the most devastating weather reports, hurricanes, blizzards, etc. We will make it our god damn best effort to get inside the box for a WOD. But post a 2K Row on the blog and watch the gym turn into a ghost town.
So I think to keep members safe..
For a Hurricane, post up a 2K Row
For a Blizzad, post up a 5K Run
Also:
To anyone (or anyone you know) that is affected by Sandy, I hope all make it out of this okay
That's a lot of sass, Martinez… but accurate. I was wondering why the box was so empty on the 2K row day.
Just got an email from Bikram NYC that all classes are on go tomorrow for noon classes. Don't know how they got a direct line to Mother Nature like that. I hope we can get back into the box soon :/
Josh, it's kind of like how people who go to globo-gyms will circle around and around the parking lot until they find a spot near the door, right?
I admit I skipped the 2K row…but then I've only been coming twice a week (plus AR) because of this silly marathon business. After Sunday, I will have no excuses!
I WILL ROW 2K TO THE GYM RIGHT NOW!!!! #NEEDTOFINDABOAT
I hit the 1pm bikram on flatbush today. It was packed and student run. I am not an exercise junkie though…
