CrossFit Virtuosity

So there are only a few more hours left to my birthday. I have been trying not to think about my birthday all week but suddenly I thought of some fun stuff I want. Here is a short list of ways you could make my birthday really special and help out my new little gym.

• Put http://crossfitvirtuosity.com in your facebook status for 24hrs
• Put http://crossfitvirtuosity.com in your twitter status for 24hrs
• Post a link to http://crossfitvirtuosity.com on your blog
• Please come to one of my Virtuosity classes
• Bring a friend to one of my Virtuosity classes
• Write me a quick 2 to 5 sentence testimonial saying how awesome I am
• Buy one of my t-shirts for yourself or a friend
• Sign up for some private training sessions with me

Are you noticing a theme? I am single-mindedly focused on Crossfit Virtuosity and making it the best fitness experience of its kind. I hope you will join me in this mission.

Feels so good!

The search for affordable space in New York is unimaginably difficult especially for a small startup fitness operation. My partner Samantha and I have been on the verge of closing deals on several spaces when something goes horribly wrong at the last minute. It is frustrating and it slows down our progress. However, each step of the way we get a little smarter and more able to go into the next deal with a better understanding of what it takes.

We set aside plans for temporary spaces because we were so sure each time that we were signing a lease and now it's been 3 months without classes. That's too damn long. Therefore, we quickly put a deal together to rent a temporary space in Tribeca for November and December. We apologize for the long delay, but hope you will spend some time with us as the holidays approach and get sweaty.

The space is located at 65 Leonard Street, New York, NY 10013

It is easily accessible from the Franklin Street stop #1 train or The Canal Street stop A, C, E, N, Q, R, W, 6, J, M and Z trains. Could we be any more convenient?

Beginning Monday, November 3rd, we will hold classes on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. NO CLASS ON THURSDAY. There will be two classes per evening at 6pm and 7pm. We will post a holiday schedule soon.

Drop-in class fee $25.
One month unlimited classes for $150.

We take cash or check.

Special offers!!!

• Your first class is free.
• If you pay in advance for November and December you get $50 off. That's two months for $250!
• If you bring a friend and your friend buys a month or two on that first day, you each get $25 cash back.

I had the pleasure of assisting Coach Jeff Tucker at the Crossfit Gymnastics Certification at Crossfit Boston this past weekend.  Needless to say, I had a great time.  Read reviews of the cert on the Crossfit affiliate blog.

This is just a quick announcement to let people know we are going to be holding classes starting November 3rd in Tribeca. We have a small studio rented for November and December.  We would love for you to come and spend the holiday months training with us.

Classes will be held Mon, Tues, Wed and Fri nights at 6pm and 7pm.  We'll post some more details throughout the week.  Stay tuned!

So Mr. and Mrs. Gonzalez (a/k/a Juan and Sam, pictured above) decided that it would be a good idea to challenge me to a burpee showdown.  Tomorrow, Monday, October 20, Juan and I are going head-to-head for 100 burpees for time.  This will take place at The Black Box at lunchtime.  Please come down and cheer us on and help us count and keep time.  Apparently, Sam and Kevin are betting on Juan so that makes me the underdog.  I am confident that Juan will buckle under pressure. 

Stay tuned for the results.
