I like the slogans and the discussion that started on the other thread. Let's keep it up.

I have been thinking of adding some testimonials to the website like:

"I wish I'd known about CrossFit sooner." Tyler Durden

"Thanks to Josh and Keith for helping find my inner strength." Anakin Skywalker

"If you think that's impressive, you should see my girlfriend's snatch." Joshua Newman

After a chilly Tabata Squat warmup, we did a version of Helen that replaced KB swings with burpees:

3 Rounds for Time:
400m Run
21 Burpees
12 Pullups

After, we played around on a few sets of rings, both with ring-support l-sits and muscle-up drills.

As things were cold cold cold this morning, a bit of news for those tuning in for CFNYC gym updates: I pick up (hopefully final) lease paperwork tomorrow, and we should have things locked down - and therefore announceable - by mid-week.

Current leading contender for a name: The Black Box. Also, with a home of our own, we may be due for a new slogan. Current leading contender on that front: Because your gym is for pansies.

It is indeed.

Stay on target!

We are very very close to getting our own space. (Finally!) Stay tuned. Check back often. We will be having some inaugural workouts in the next few weeks. Thanks for sticking with us as we enter this new era. Soon we will have our own fully operational Death Star.

May the Force be with you.

Yours,
Obi Won Wittenstein and Darth Newman

With the craziness of the NYC marathon, and the cold weather, we're taking tomorrow off.

Keep your eyes on this site, however, as we should have news in the next week or two about finally, finally, finally getting a home of our very own.
