Morit S. on her way to the podium at Iron Maidens
This Week at CFSBK in Review
1. No surprise: The 2018 Iron Maidens Raw Open was a huge success! Iron Maidens competitors raised over $27,000 to fund the Stay Strong Scholarship, which will continue to send students from Grace Outreach to college. You can find the full results from the day in Tuesday’s post.
2. Check out hundreds of fun photos from Iron Maidens by Kate R. and your blog editor.
3. The Bench is back! Just in time for Swole Season, our new 8-week training cycle started this week. See Monday’s post to find out what you can expect in group classes over the next couple of months.
4. Coach Fox’s client Adam B. recently opened Ahimsa Piercing Studio, Fine Jewelry & Medical Aesthetics at 296 Smith St. in Cobble Hill. Mention CFSBK and receive 10% off any jewelry!
5. Hey, good news: We’ve pushed back the start date of our BJJ Fundamentals class to give you some more time to sign up! Fundamentals is your jiu-jitsu starter pack. This 4-week course is geared towards anyone intrigued by BJJ but unsure where to begin, anyone who wants to become better acquainted with dynamic movement on the ground, and anyone who could use a review to jump back into it. Go here for more info and to register!
6. Missing something? Maybe a hat, a jumprope, several sweatshirts, or half a dozen water bottles? It might be in our most recent lost and found dump. Be sure to claim your stuff at the front desk before we donate it to CHIPS in a couple of weeks!
7. “After a working with Jeremy for a while I came to really trust that he knew my abilities, which has really helped me be more confident, especially when things get really heavy.” On Thursday, we brought you another installment of Humans of Starting Strength. This week David L. helped us get to know the program a little better!
8. Tomorrow’s 11am Active Recovery class is cancelled.

7 AM doing Saturday’s work w/KHarpz. I swear I was MOSTLY thinking about what made logistical sense when I was like “we should partner up by height!” this morning. The fact that I was in a 3-person group and the tall dudes were a 2-person group was just a nice bonus. (But really, partnering by height makes sense when you have a bike involved, right? Right?)
Teamed up with Ellen and newcomer John (welcome!) and got 168 calories both on the bike and the erg. Didn’t time ourselves on the sandbag walk. Kinda wish we’d taken the 80 instead of the 60.
Looking forward to having a real weekend, not the kind where I’m walking a convention floor the whole time!
6am with Snickers doing Saturday’s work
Partnered with Kayleigh and we decided to make it a 2 person team with one of us always working. 1 min on and off. Legs were a bit en fuego after the bike
Bike – 193 calories
Row – 260 calories
Sandbag – 100#
Lovely WOD-ing with you this morning. Sweaty sandbag and all.
“we decided to make it a 2 person team with one of us always working”
Of course you did, because you’re 6 AM overachievers!
Up in Maine this weekend for some mountain biking, and dropped into CF Bell City in Bristol, CT on the way up. Nice spot to visit if you’re in the hood 😉
That photo is EVERYTHING!! <3
7am w/ Lauren doing Thurs
First time doing cleans in about a month! Felt a lil icky at first but got better throughout the EOMOM and I was able to match my current 1RM of 123#.
WOD w/ Jaime–think we got 13 rounds + 4 snatches using the 35# DB (which felt lighter than ever…think that means I'm getting stronger?!). Fun one!
Then I went into work late so I could get some acupuncture. And it's beautiful out. And it's Friday. Today rules!
Saturday's workout, however, looks ROUGH. Noooo thanks. See ya at Short Circuit tomorrow!
It’s really not that bad! 3 partners means plenty of rest.
(as long as you break up the assault bike into 1-minute intervals…glad I talked my partners out of doing 2s)
