Jess P. representing CFSBK at the 2nd event of this year’s Subway Series (we see you, too, Thomas!). We’ll be hosting the 3rd event of the Subway Series tomorrow. Come over to the gym at noon to watch the action and cheer for your buds!
1. We’ll be running on a modified schedule for the big day tomorrow. Morning classes will run on the usual schedule, but everything from 11am onward is cancelled (i.e., 10am classes are the last of the day).
2. Fight Gone Bad fundraising season is here! So far we’ve raised just over $4,000 for Brooklyn Community Foundation. On Monday, we offered an email template you can send to your friends and family.
3. Front desker Karina S. has a show with her sketch team this Monday, October 16th at 7:30pm! Karina tells us, “It’s got some bizarre, spooky-funny sketches and makes a great date night. Also, you’ll get to see me making a rare cameo on stage in some spooky circumstances.” Check out the Magnet Theater website for ticket info and more details.
4. As we’ve mentioned before, Coach KHarpz is writing a series for our friends at beyond the whiteboard on her training for next year’s Northeast Regionals. Check out the most recent installment, “Trusting the Process”!
5. Need to build a foundation for gymnastics work on the rings? Check out this fun video of Coach David demonstrating a basic ring support!

Fight Gone Bad 2017: Let’s Do This!
It’s hard to believe that we’re a month away from Fight Gone Bad 2017, but guess what? We’re a month away from FGB 2017! Here’s what your teams should have accomplished so far:
Brooklyn Community Foundation (BCF) is proud to partner with CrossFit South Brooklyn on Fight Gone Bad for the 5th year running. BCF is on a mission to spark lasting social change, mobilizing people, capital, and expertise for a fair and just Brooklyn. Since their founding in 2009, the Foundation and their donors have provided over $20 million in grants to more than 300 nonprofits throughout the borough, bolstering vital programs and services while responding to urgent community needs and opportunities to fuel community-led change. Last year, CFSBK raised over $24,000 for BCF, and this year we’re shooting to beat that number!
Once again this year, we’re lucky to have some terrific sponsors, including Lululemon, Dinosaur BBQ, and Park Life. If you’d like to donate additional prizes, please get in touch with our Events Coordinator Danae at Events [at] crossfitsouthbrooklyn.com.
There are still some spots open if you’d like to compete! Contact Coach Jess at info [at] crossfitsouthbrooklyn.com as soon as possible if you’d like to take part.
