Last Chance to Sign Up for Active Live Strength!
Get out of pain, stay out of pain, strengthen your weaknesses, and improve mobility and movement patterns, all while getting stronger! This is a predominantly strength-based class very specifically programmed to strengthen movements and improve positions based on your individual needs. A PM cycle starts this Monday, October 15th!
The Active Life methods help athletes of all levels identify the root causes of their pain, injuries, and plateaus, and provide solutions for alleviating and eliminating those limitations through strength training, hands on treatment, corrective movements, and program modification. As the Head Coach at Active Life Athletics, Coach Keith worked closely with the Active Life doctors as they developed the system and led the charge to incorporate it into a gym model. Using those principles, this program will help you identify your individual weaknesses and limitations, guide you through the necessary strength and mobility exercises, and get you moving and lifting more efficiently, with less pain. A pain-free athlete is a confident athlete, and a confident athlete is a dangerous athlete. If your goal is to look better, feel better, and go hard into your 80s, this program will help you set and maintain the foundation.

Register Here!
Cost
The cost is $160 per month ($320 total plus NY state sales tax). The first charge will occur at the time of registration and the second payment of $160 will occur automatically 1 month later. This cycle is open to all CFSBK members as well as CrossFitters from other affiliates.
(Please note that you are committing to specific days and times and there be no refunds for any missed classes or late cancellations.)
What happens in class?
We will start with testing your single leg strength relative to your Back Squat, your Deadlift stamina relative to your absolute strength, your 1-arm carry ability, and your upper body pressing and pulling. You will then receive progressive strength work during each class to address your weaknesses based off of your test results.
In addition, we will identify your general movement limitations through mobility and flexibility assessments. Each athlete will receive an individualized “Not for Time” piece to complete as a warm up/cool down for CrossFit group class or during standardized warm-ups to address these limitations through corrective movements, stretches, and holds.
Testimonial
“I have gone through 2 Active Life Cycles and am very happy with the results. My shoulders never felt so stable! The constant tingling in my back that had been going on for over a year has drastically reduced. One of the biggest surprises is the increase in upper body strength. I have way more confidence to use heavier weights during group class and try out some moves I would have shied away from before. Going through the program has given me a greater appreciation for the concept that consistent effort over time, even if it may seem small, really leads to change.”—Maria M.

1: 4+3 with 4 kipping hspus (could have actually done 7… but wanted to play it safe), pistols to a 2.5” plate.
2: 7 plus 15. 24kg bell, Russian
3: 7+1: 83#. Almost an emom- slowed down after 5th round. Got two rounds in the last minute. Thrusters are hard!
Cash out: currently crushing the north fork. I think I found our wedding venue!!! 😀

Short Circuit at 10am, then group class at 11am. Got between 4 and change and 5 and change on each of the workouts. Did box piked HSPU and lateral step ups, and Rx the rest. Barbell was fun and heavy, wish there were more power cleans in there.
Fox says
Friends!
At 6pm this evening, some fine folk are gathering at Pacific Standard on 4th Ave a few blocks north of CFSBK to celebrate the 40th year since the birth of Jess Fox. Come have a drink and tell Jess you “totally can’t see any grays”!
Hope to see some of you there.

WOD 1: 3 rounds
7 HSPUs to one ab mat. Probably should have scaled to 5 each round because had to break these into 3 sets after the first round. That was my original plan but the first round felt so good! Did box step and made sure to do a slow negative. I can do pistols, but only a few before I lose them.
WOD 2: 6+1
American swings @20kg. Rarely do American so wanted to challenge myself. It was tough to hold on for so many rounds and my grip and forearms were dead afterwards.
WOD 3: 8
Done at 93#. Started doing each round every 45s, then had to go to every minute, then snuck one last set in at the end. Tough esp after all those American swings.
Pao says
Waddled into 1pm after a morning spent on … briefings! Nothing says I have a life like Saturday AM work.
Good god did I need a reminder of how important CrossFit is in my life—being injured and traveling means I haven’t really been moving my rear or getting my heart rate up for a couple weeks. Been riding a great endorphine wave all afternoon.
Monster WOD actually wasn’t that bad. I’m not paleo-ing at 100%, but just by moderately eating better has made a real impact. Creepily stared at the dude next to me crushing the pistols, man do I have some real pistol-envy for all you mobility-blessed humans. And apologies in advance as in hindsight I probably came off as a real creeper … I mean, admiring somebody’s ankle mobility is like, totally normal—right?
Yeah, ok I’ll go back to my corner now.
