Everyday Classes
CrossFitEvery day brings a new challenge! Our CrossFit classes combine calesthenics, gymnastics, weightlifting, running, rowing, tire flipping, rope climbing, sledgehammer striking, and pretty much anything else you can imagine into an infinite variety of workouts. You never know what you might get!
Project MayhemProject Mayhem is a taste of Hell on Earth. This is an elite-level class designed for coaches and firebreathers. The standards are high. Every rep is judged by competition standards. If your form doesn’t cut it, you don’t belong here. Project Mayhem is closed to the public and participation is by invitation only. Train hard — we’ll let you know when you’re ready! |
Benchmark Classes
Ladies’ NightThursday night is Ladies’ Night! Every Thursday we’ll do one of CrossFit’s notorious “girls.” The girl workouts are named like hurricanes because of the havoc that they wreak. Progress can be measured and charted over time as these workouts will repeat on a regular basis. Athletes can not only compare their results to their previous performances but can also compare their results on these workouts to CrossFitters all over the world.
Heroes & SheroesCertain workouts come up again and again and are used to objectively measure the athlete’s progress. This class serves as a testing ground for our members. Progress can be measured and charted over time as these workouts will repeat on a regular basis. Athletes can not only compare their results to their previous performances but can also compare their results on these workouts to CrossFitters all over the world. |
Specialty Classes
Rest & RecoveryWe all know we need it but we seldom take the time to do it. This class utilizes various recovery and relaxation tools to let the athlete recover from the hard work they put their bodies through. Yoga, stretching, foam rollers, massage, myofascial release, joint mobility… if it can help get you back in the game, then we’ll incorporate it in this class. There is no “workout” in the Rest and Recovery class. This class simply teaches you various recovery techniques.
EnduranceOur endurance classes are perfect for athletes training for marathons, triathlons, and the like. We use interval training for maximum effect in minimum training time. See About Endurance for more information about this program. Open GymOn Sundays we take a break from making up workouts. If you want to come in and do a workout though, we’ll be here to let you in and keep an eye on you. This class is available for making up workouts you missed, or running through workouts you make up for yourself. Keep in mind that we reserve the right to tell you you can’t do something if you’re about to do something crazy and potentially dangerous! |
On Ramp Program
Our month-long On Ramp is designed to familiarize participants with the movements, skills, and intensity of CrossFit. Uncomfortable with the CrossFit movements? Worried about the intensity of our regular classes? Over the course of twelve sessions, we’ll spend lots of time reviewing the basic exercises and getting you comfortable with the movements that you will come to love (and fear) as you train with us. This course is perfect for beginners, veterans who want to review the basics, and those of you who want to get off the couch but don’t know where to start!
Strength Training Intensives
We offer custom-crafted strength training programs (Starting Strength / Wendler / Olympic Lifting) via the Brooklyn Barbell Club.
