Farewell to CFSBK Super Legend Kayleigh Rose

CFSBK bids farewell to another longtime member of our community, Kayleigh Rose. Known throughout the gym as a friend to all, supportive teammate and bonafide TFBA, Kayleigh is off to a new chapter in her life in Portland. She will be missed, but there will always be a rack available for her on Degraw Street. Here are some parting notes from her:

I have officially left Brooklyn and am off to Portland (five day road trip ahead)!  Here is my goodbye and short ode to CFSBK, to the place and community that has been a defining element of my Brooklyn life for the past nine years.

Early on, I connected with the many fellow educators who came to the gym.  All of us who deeply appreciated the modeling, meaningful feedback, and thoughtful planning from coaches.  I am so grateful to David for the collection of individuals (past and present) he has entrusted and impressed by the tenets he has set forth in making the gym such a welcome, inclusive, positive, productive space.

A few years in the 6AM family welcomed me – I was excited, humbled, and more driven to try to keep up.  I am thankful for such a crew than was competitive, supportive, and pushed me to make the most of my mornings (even the rosé fueled ones).  I looked forward to all the gym events and celebrating all the TFBAs – my life is so much richer for having time to sweat, question my life choices while lying on the floor post-WOD, and bond with so many folks!  There is a confidence and empowerment I have gained from my experiences at CFSBK that go far beyond any feats of strength and speed (though let’s be honest, those are pretty damn delightful too).

I have literally traveled the world to hike mountains with members.  That being said, I hear Oregon has some pretty wonderful mountains that I am looking forward to taking on.  I look forward to visiting in the future, and encourage anyone who comes out west to come say hello. I am definitely leaving part of my heart in Brooklyn (and most of it on Degraw St).
