This place has been a third home. Every class, one that brings me joy and it’s not because the workouts leave me breathless. The programming is fire, the cycles are made to push you, and see you grow as an athlete. This community that David has created has given me more back than I ever could have asked in a gym. If you ever get the chance to drop in, never doubt it. Large facility, great classic gym vibes, awesome dogs, better staff, and the highlight, the memories. Don’t be discouraged by the skull and crossbones, even if that’s the Jolly Roger , that pirate ship is sailing for fitness and community!

A welcoming, safe and inclusive space for all athletes, or maybe if you don't even consider yourself one yet. The coaches are all super chill and knowledgeable, there's always dogs hanging out (on leash) providing good vibes, the staff are accommodating and you can find continuity here. There's two spaces right across the street from each other, the main space mostly has group workouts, while the space in the South side of the street, also large and spacious, allows for individuals to do their own workouts as well as personal training sessions. I do a group class with Coach Brett, who's supportive, giving plenty of positive feedback in a calm manor as well as helpful suggestions for different options you could try to optimize the training for you personally. Lots of bike parking outside and they'll even lend you a lock if you forget yours.

Since my very first time at CrossFit South Brooklyn — back in June 2014, I've been grateful to find this place. The experience as a whole and the small details that make this place one of the greatest gyms in the world. My first classes were with Mr. and Mrs. Fox and David Osorio. The question of the day, the order, the great programming, the neat execution of the class are some of the aspects I really enjoyed. However it falls short next to the location, culture and community that CFSBK has. It has been developed for years. They have answers for pretty much everything. I remember one morning I was lifting next to one of the coaches — super nice dude – and I mentioned I enjoy a good craft beer and he pointed me to a place in the neighbourhood, so yeah, they have answers for everything. The Skull [Jolly Roger], Yoda, the 2013 Open memorabilia and all the flags. Everyone is welcome at CFSBK. I met some great New Yorkers while training there every chance I’ve had while traveling. From photographers to chefs. The most awesome part is — the staff remains [almost] the same, and onm every trip i’ve seen David there. CFSBK is and will always be one of my favourite spots to train, they inspired me to open my own box. If you like to train, if you like great culture, a good time and nice people, this is your place. Regardless of your level. You can be starting your lifting / Crossfit era, or you can be elite athlete, this is a place where we all can thrive and i believe that's actually what they strive for. For you to thrive regardless of your level. Go, fall in love, train hard, make friends, buy merch and then tell the story. Come back as much as you like, their doors are always open. Literally — they hardly ever close. To the front desk lady back in 2014 that waited for me to get ready after a quick sesh because I was coming from a redeye flight and on my way to Vermont for an ultra-marathon: Thank you! You were the nicest — even took my picture outside the box. This memory sits on top of all the others at CFSBK. Hope I get to come back soon. Stay well!!!
