Sign Up Today For the Next Five-Week Cycle of CrossFit Preschool and CrossFit Kids!

ICYMI, now the CrossFit South Brooklyn programs you love are BIG FUN for all ages!

CrossFit Preschool (3 – 5 years old):
Run! Jump! Skip! Roll! Through playful games and fun activities, children learn to move safely and gain basic coordination and body awareness. Together we explore tumbling and movement using fun, kid-friendly scenarios and games. Your preschooler will flex their mini-muscles as they build their confidence and develop their fine and gross motor skills. 

CrossFit Kids (6 – 8 years old):
Building on the skills they developed in CrossFit Preschool, our Kids classes are designed to build strength, further develop coordination, and encourage a lifelong love of fitness. Age-appropriate programming includes calisthenics, basic tumbling, running, climbing, throwing, and other modalities to stimulate bone density and vestibular system development while improving fine and gross motor skills, coordination, and flexibility. On top of physical development, social and cognitive growth is encouraged through teamwork, problem solving, and building the confidence that helps them make healthy choices.

Program Mission
CrossFit Preschool and CrossFit Kids emphasizes good movement through games and activities. Most importantly, we’re all about having FUN! Developing a positive association between fitness, physical activity, and the joy of movement is the primary goal of our program. Think of it like the gym class you wish you had growing up!

Testimonials

 “My son recently started CrossFit Kids and loves it. He’s played sports and gotten a lot from his experiences, but on the way home from CrossFit the other day he was so pumped and proud of himself. He felt strong and powerful, and he couldn’t stop talking about what he did. I’m so excited that he has the opportunity to get stronger mentally and physically at CF kids.”

–Adele M.

“My kids loved CrossFit Kids yesterday! I got an earful when I got home from all three at once trying to explain what they did. Then I had to feel their muscles. David and Janelle wore them out pretty well because at around 7pm they asked if it was okay to skip bath and book and go right to sleep.”

–Matt C.

Join Olympic Rower Coach Nick For a Rowing Clinic on May 31st, at 2:15pm 

Do you want to improve your effectiveness on the erg? Do you dread rowing workouts? Or maybe you love them and want to row more on the side? (If you answered that last question with a hearty “yes,” you are a crazy person. Just so you know.) This one-hour clinic will include the following:

  • Review of the machine: foot height, drag factor, how to set up workouts, how to review scores after workouts, etc.
  • In-depth breakdown of the rowing stroke (recovery, catch, drive)
  • Drills to improve common technique errors
  • Workout

Nick started rowing in junior high school. He competed at two World Rowing Championships (1998, 1999) and the Olympic Games (2000), as well as various other international meets.

There’s a 20 person cap on the number of participants, so sign up now!

You Can Also Row a Half-Marathon With Coach Nick on June 14th, at 2:15pm!

You know you’ve wondered, “Gee, what would it be like to row 21,097m?” Well, your chance to find out is coming up: SBK will host a 1/2 Marathon Row on June 14th at 2:15pm. And we’ll show movies during the event. Really, what better way to spend your Sunday afternoon? You can row the full distance or split it up with one other partner. 

Coach Nick will send out a DIY program to everyone who signs up; the training will consist of at least two long erg sessions a week to get your calluses and butts in shape! Expect to devote 1–2+ hours twice a week to this. Sound fun, or what?! (What?) 

Space will be limited. Registration details coming soon!

Questions about either event, or want the 1/2 marathon training plan asap? Email Nick [at] CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com.

Rest Day

Posted on Tuesday, May 19, 2015


Do you get any hip discomfort while in the catch position of rowing? The reason for that may be hip impingement (when two structures in your body “run into” each other), which can happen at the catch position if your femur is not externally rotated (think knees slightly out). The top of your femur and the socket it sits in can run into each other and trap the labrum which is a ring of soft tissue that surrounds the socket. This can lead to ouchies. Coach Fox says he is prone to impingement of his left hip when rowing a lot, and what he’s found works is to push his knees out a bit in the catch. He’s also found this to be a successful solution for other CrossFitters who experience anterior hip pain. Coach Fox also advises the hip capsule stretch above (skip to about 3 minutes in).

  • Did you sign up yet for your “Murph” heat? Do it now, and remember that the earlier heats will be far less muggy and humid!

Common Substitutions and Modifications

We are happy to make this work for everyone in our community! Here are some common substitutions, modifications, and scale-up options…

What is “Murph“?

This WOD was created in memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, NY, who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005. The workout was one of Mike’s favorites and he’d named it “Body Armor.” It is referred to as “Murph” in honor of this focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing but to serve his country and the beautiful people in it.
  • To learn more about Lieutenant Michael Murphy, check out his page on the Navy Seals website and his biography on Wikipedia.
  • To learn more about “Murph Day,” read, “At CrossFit, a Military Regimen With Geek Appeal” from The New York Times. This article was based on their visit to CFSBK and CrossFit NYC in 2012.

This workout is dedicated to everyone who has sacrificed their lives in the US Armed Forces. Take a moment during the day to thank someone who has served and reflect on those we’ve lost. 

A Note to Visitors

Visitors and non-CFSBK members are welcome to participate, but you must have prior CrossFit experience and you must contact us ahead of time to get the okay to participate. Please email Jess at info [at] CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com if you are interested.

  • Happy birthday, Maria K. and Olivia K.!

Do you know how to mobilize your restricted positions? Knowing some basic self maintenance is both a right and a responsibility. If you’re still in the dark, check out any one of our weekly Active Recovery classes to increase the tools in your tool box to move and perform better! Coach Fox teaches one tonight at 6:30pm.

News and Notes

  • We will now be offering Open Gym hours on Saturdays from 2-4pm at 608. Get psyched!
  • There’s a new post over on Coach David’s blog Inside the Affiliate, called “Why Your CrossFit Gym Needs a Front Desk.” Those of you who have been with us for longer than a couple years will remember the days before our beloved Front Desk, and probably could have written this article for us. Check it out, and share it with your buddies who CrossFit at places that aren’t as cool as CFBSK. 
  • Happy birthday, Michelle B., Rachel J., and Peter M.! 

Tonight at 7:30pm: Pilates with KH (a.k.a. Cage)

Have you ever been told by a coach or PT that you have a weak core? Are you not sure what “keep your ribcage down” means? Do you suffer from a tweaky lower back after lifting heavy weights? Help is on the way! The Pilates Method can be great “accessory work” for a Crossfitter, not only because it improves flexibility and strengthens the abdominal and back muscles, but mainly because it can help you figure out HOW to use these muscles properly. Come join Kristin Hoesl (KH) in CFSBK’s first ever weekly Pilates class. We’ll go over neutral pelvis, engaging the transversus abdominis (say WHAT?), stabilizing the rib cage, and finding good shoulder girdle positioning. So if any of this sounds intriguing to you, come drop in on!

Schedule: Tuesday nights at 7:30pm upstairs in the CFSBK Annex
Price: Individual classes and 5-packs can be purchased here, or you can use your regular CrossFit group class membership to attend 

Learn more about KH in our interview with her, called “‘Mad Abs, Yo!’ How Pilates Complements CrossFit, and Getting to Know Kristin H.“
