What is Crossfit?

  • Crossfit is a grassroots fitness movement based out of Santa Cruz, California. It is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist. The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.

Patrick is very proud of his dumbbell.

The CrossFit Nutrition Seminar being held at CFSBK is officially SOLD OUT.
Is anyone interested in helping out with cleaning up the Lyceum before Robb and Nicki get here? Beer will be provided!

I've also managed to acquire a decent sized mat from Equinox.  It's rolled up so I'm not sure on the exact measurements but it looks to be about 7'x10'.  Does anyone have a van/truck large enough to help me move it from Columbus Circle to the Lyceum? Gas, lunch and appreciation all included.
