CrossFit NYC: The Black Box

Hey Court, I left you a winning review. Hope you make it to the Top Ten!

"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"

I threw a review up there too. I went through and read all the other posts. I never realized how well your name can fit into one-liners before. Perfect for Headlines.

So that's tomorrow, Thursday, Dec. 13th? Also, I've trained Z-Health with you but not kettlebells. If I can write a review based on z-health and post it to the kettlebell site, I'd gladly do it.

I added a review too, you were number 9 after I added mine :)

I added a review, too. Lies, every word.

I thought the joint mobility session was going to be tonight? Can't make it tomorrow, too bad for me.

Court is the man. My review is up. Thanks Court.

Alex, didn't get to post this yesterday, but wanted to say I loved the latest video you made. Thanks for posting them all to youtube so we can check them out.

of course you did. hhaha!

Thanks so much to everyone that has reviewed me so far; right now you've helped me to get to No. 7! Keep the one liners coming! If you haven't reviewed me yet, jump on board!
Thanks again and start swinging!

Hey Brett, where were you tonight?

Has anyone seen utube videos of a group in BK doing clazy cool park workouts and creative pull-ups to music? It's like an intese pull-up music video..

Someone showed me in DC but I can't remember the name of the crew

Wow that's how you win a wheelbarrow race! See the importance of "skinning the cat" exercise came in clutch on that move! Is there nothing that crossfit cannot help you be good at? haha!

This might be the group you are thinking of:

Meanwhile, in physiology news - Key Joints Prevent Pregnant Women From Toppling

Big bellies. Men can be strong enough but women are made for them.

Moon,

We're made to do what we do. Who knew making babies had a functional side as well.

At the end of the article the researchers jest that they need to do a male counter study with beer bellied guys. Who's up for turning your back on the Zone and start chugging beers in the name of science?

yeah if u guys think carrying that slosh pipe across the room in a straight line is hard to do without toppling over-try walking across the room 36 weeks pregnant with twins. talk about balance. i think i was missing those key joints.

I brought this topic up on the main site but figured I'd ask here too since you all live here.

I'm wondering if anyone has tried to get CrossFit into NYC public Schools. The PE programs are in need of some serious help.

CrossFit would be perfect for the job and could change lots of kids lives.

Sarena posted a link on my message board blog about Coach G using it with his students in Cali.

Will there still be the 8:15 class tonight? I want to try to make it if class lets out early enough.

Allison NYC that was Coach B!!

Considering my physique in highschool, I could've used some PE crossfit.

Then: ~210#
Now: 182#

Highschool Dan L. could have probably used Crossfit for PE.

Then: ~210#
Now: 182#

Thanks Court for teaching and Keith for helping us all out too. Court, your presentation and expertise in the Z Health foundations are very evident!

An extra thanks to Keith for actually being more than civil--actually nice-- to me tonight with jumprope assistance! I do notice those things you can be assured.

So disappointed I miss class tonight, as I really wanted to go... But Im still coughing and wheezing and blowing my knows every 5 mins and don't want to get anyone sick, and well we all know about my aversion to this weather. Anyways, I look forward to the next time and the workshops in the future.

I'm not sure if CrossFit would work in public schools. CrossFit is available and accessible to all, yet seemingly paradoxically, it's not really for the general public. From trying to convince friends to check out the Box, I've come to realize that you can't force someone to do WODs. They have to want to do it. (Okay, technically, you CAN force children to do pretty much anything, but ethically, you probably shouldn't.)

We should look into having the Bartendaz come over to the Box for a demo.
