We don't generally tell people to take supplements except for fish oil. Omega-3 is a natural anti-inflammatory agent. So we went ahead and got us all a deal on some of the best quality fish oils we could find.
CrossFit Virtuosity vs. CrossFit South Brooklyn vs. CrossFit Long Island City vs. CrossFit Queens. Four teams enter and only one team leaves.

Please Note: This weekend (June 26th-27th) we will be hosting a CrossFit Level 1 Certification Seminar, which unfortunately means that the gym will be unavailable for our normal 11am weekend classes. Read on to find out how to get in your workout!
Do you have friends you think should try CrossFit? Do you often hear excuses like: "Brooklyn's too far!" and "CrossFit's scary!"? Well, here's a great opportunity for you to give your more timid acquaintances a friendly, convenient little taste of CrossFit! (Or, if you're the one who's been hesitating, now's your chance to get in on the action!)
We spend most of our time finding ways to beat you down, but this time we're offering you something that feels good. Leah Nelson is a member here and a Licensed Massage Therapist and she has offered to turn the changing room into a spa for a day and work her magic on you.
Forget What You Don't Know!
There are a million things we don't know. We don't even know all the stuff we don't know. Don't obsess on that. You know enough to get people to exercise. You know enough to teach people. If for whatever reason, you're called on to work outside your comfort zone and teach something you don't know, give it your best shot.
Good luck to Sam, Joey, Brandy, Anne, Nicole and the rest of the great NYC & Brooklyn CrossFitters this weekend as they compete in the NY/NJ Sectionals. Follow the updates on our Facebook page or on the CrossFit Games site.
Dealing With Complexity
Movements with more than two or three major positions or transition points are significantly more complex to teach. I generally categorize movements into three levels of complexity: simple, intermediate, and complex.
Moving The Masses — Following are some tips on how to teach a group to move. This isn't the only way to do things, but it represents a handful of things that I have found to work in the past and use as a guideline.
