This Saturday is our annual CrossFit Virtuosity Prom! To facilitate clean up (and recovery!), we'll be making the following slight schedule changes.

By Spenser MesLike the rest of CrossFit Virtuosity, James Kozlakowski did Murph on Monday, and like those of us who were able to fight through the lingering soreness, he also worked out on Wednesday. The major difference between James and the rest of us is that, days before, he placed 10th at the CrossFit Games East Regional.Only in his second year of CrossFit, James was a reluctant convert. "Looking at it from an outside point of view, it looked pointless," he says. He'd been doing these kinds of workouts for most of his life: as a football player and wrestler in high school in Lynbrook, NY and then as a lacrosse player for Long Island University, where he studied childhood education. After he graduated in 2012, though, he missed competing, and a friend suggested he try CrossFit. What hooked him was realizing he wasn't as well conditioned as he'd thought. "CrossFit opened a new goal in my life — not to be the most ripped or best looking, but rather to be in the best shape possible."

Stop by on Saturday, June 25th during any Level 2 class for our annual "Pride" WOD to celebrate NYC Pride! All proceeds will benefit Equality Florida's Pulse Victim's Fund.

It's that magical season again... and time to break out the hairspray, ‘cause we’re going back to the 80s! So find yourself some fancy clothes, stage a promposal for your gym crush*, and get ready for the party of the year!

We're excited to welcome back OUTWOD on Sunday June 5th: we'll be running a big group workout at 11am (arrive at 10:30!) This event will benefit a non-profit supporting LGBTQ youth that's being launched by our very own Ivan Dimov!

On Monday, May 30th we'll be celebrating Memorial Day with a traditional "Murph", followed by cider and wings at Battery Harris! Level 1 and Level 2 classes will meet at 10am and 11:30am -- you may attend at either time regardless of your level. All other classes are cancelled.

Come with us on a road trip up to Albany to watch James destroy the East Regional!James will be competing Friday-Sunday -- if you have the availability, spending all three days at Regionals is an amazing experience that we highly recommend!

Perhaps you've noticed that we've been programming quite a bit of gymnastics work lately. Perhaps you are wondering why. Perhaps you don't consider yourself particularly good at gymnastics and find the experience challenging. Perhaps challenging sometimes verges on frustrating. Perhaps you look at the programmed workout and feel some dismay. Perhaps you decide to skip working out today in favor of tomorrow.We understand all of these possible feelings about gymnastics. Gymnastics is HARD. But we say to you also, gymnastics is IMPORTANT.
