BEHIND THE DESK: AARON WEISS
Over the rest of the summer you can look forward to new installments of our Behind the Desk series, about our beloved and much appreciated front desk staff! These CrossFitters take care of the important duties of checking in our members, handling walk-ins, tidying up after classes, and so many other things that it would take forever to list them. They are the glue that holds this gym together. Last week, we got to know Liz M. This week, let’s find out about one of our newest front deskers…
Name (and any nicknames):
Aaron Weiss
Where were you born, and where did you grow up?
I was born and raised on Long Island, but my parents are from the Midwest, so I’m not as Long Island as I could’ve been.
How long have you been CrossFitting, and how did you arrive at CFSBK?
I’ve been CrossFitting for about two months now. My brother and my friend Tori (who’s a coach at CFSBK) got me into CrossFit just by talking about the workouts and the community.
Do you have any unusual rituals or superstitions or habits related to life or CrossFit?
I think I wash my hands mid-workout (when there’s a moment to rest) more than anyone at the gym. I just love having clean hands.
What’s your hidden talent?
I’m a professional photographer.
Ask me about that time I…
Saved a cat from a tree (and also a ditch). But for the record I’m a dog person.
Did you have any mentors or heroes growing up?
My dad was a great mentor to me. Taught me to be honest and genuine.
What are you up to when you’re not at 597 Degraw Street?
Shooting photos, editing photos, or cooking.
What are your favorite and least favorite lifts?
Favorite lift: Push Press. Least Favorite: Overhead Squat.
What’s the first album you ever loved?
The Matrix

10 Lifts to Get You Ready for the 2019 CrossFit Games Morning Chalk Up
Sweatiest 8 AM ever! I worked super late last night, hence the late start :/
3+3, 3+2, 3 even. Hollow holds turned into tuck hollow holds rather quickly.
I was so sweaty afterward that I was trying to roll my back with the Orb and the Orb would keep flying out from under me. Gross!
8am with Ro and Katie and yeah it was a big sweat puddle
Ran 800m instead of rowing because I dislike running and need to get more used to it. Runs took me around 4-4:30min, and I finished around 2 rounds and change after that. Tried to keep it aerobic, but it was hard to breathe.
10 am with Katie and Keith.
Muggy and uncomfortable, but just kept moving.
3+5
3+6
3+9
Fun times.
