Our Fight Gone Bad IV team has 21 people and we have raised $4169 so far. There's still time to register to participate with us this Saturday, 9/26, for FGB4, the CrossFit community's annual charity drive to support Athletes for a Cure and the Wounded Warrior Project. Remember, you can always sign up for FGB4, make a small donation to yourself, and then come participate on Saturday--there's no minimum for how much money you raise and every dollar helps!
If you are unavailable to join in the fun on Saturday, please consider a donation. (When donating, type "crossfit nyc" as the team name then choose a member to donate to.)

Effective Monday, September 28, we will be adding a 7:30pm WOD. We are aware that several members have expressed interest in a later WOD (i.e., after 8pm). We will monitor the level of attendance for a few weeks after this change. We will then determine whether to eliminate the 8pm WOD and create an 8:30pm WOD.

Why Health Care Will Never Be Equal
New member Jim M. at the Hybrid Challenge last weekend:
Can I hope that you mean starting Monday, September 28th re: the 7:30 class?
Also, this workout is about 100x more appealing to me than any of the past three. Fingers crossed for a weekend of met-cons.
Yes, that should be September 28.
(Allison, please correct my mistake.)
KJ,
I am opposite of you. The last 3 days have been heaven. Heaven! I feel sore and tired and amazing this AM.
Crossfit is the great equalizer. I feel a 5K coming just in time to kill my lifting buzz.
Rest day article prompts for a NYTimes pesky login...so I mirrored the article here if anyone wants a pdf version

Just wondering if we're setting a specific time for this Saturday for FGB...also I'm guessing we'll have eachother help count for one another and keep track of reps?

Mike:
We'll be running FGB from 11-2. As soon as we have 6-10 people ready to go, we will start a new heat, everyone will have a partner to count for them.
Jeff has assigned me as the new rest day dinner person... any suggestions for restaurants? I was thinking Rodeo for October 2nd unless there are any major objections. Who's in?
Jacinto -
How early will you get to the gym tomorrow? I want to try and come in the morning.
I have an extra ticket to u2 tonight at giants stadium. Friend bailed out. Anyone interested? If so give me a call on 646 275 6692. Thanks
I know Jacinto is usually there by 6am tomorrow. I'll be there then so lets hope hes there to let me in!
Scott -
There is no longer a 6:00am class, as a heads up. Jacinto teaches at 7:00am and 8:00am.

Thank you for the tips and infos Will visit again. . I don't have a solution, but I do admire the problem.
There is apparently plenty to know about it. I think in post we can find some good points. Mobile phones are the only things in live of which men talk about having the smallest.
Just want to say your article is brilliant. The clearness in your post is simply striking and i can take for granted you are an expert on this field. Well with your permission allow me to grab your rss feed to keep up to date with incoming post. Thanks a million and please keep up the good work.
I will recommend not to hold off until you get enough money to order goods! You can get the business loans or just auto loan and feel yourself fine
