I have a dream!!!

Posted on January 15, 2007 by Keith

Now it’s a reality!!! The Black Box is open. We had 2 athletes show up for the 7 am and 10 for the 12:30 class. I taught two privates there today and evening classes just ended and I’m sure they were awesome. Waiting for Josh’s report.
Remember we are still on ON-RAMP mode so we kept the WOD very simple today.

    Whoa! Looks like I missed the big party at lunchtime.

  • sarena

    And what a great party it was! Still feelin the effects today too!

  • juan g.

    (no wait that didn’t sound right) :(

  • Justin

    Dont feel too bad this morning, but we’ll see how my legs feel when I try to sink that triangle in class later on tonight. Great first day!!!

  • kim

    REALLY sore this morning! It’s all good.

  • michelle

    well all of you seem to have fared far better than I . My first crossfit ever-a private no less, and today it seems that the “crossfit fairy” came in the middle of the night and attached 50 lb weights to each of my legs. Next time I hope the fairy also leaves some aleve. No seriously it was awesome! Hooked onthe pain already! Thanks Keith! And I thought warrior three was hard on the quads! Well i can say one thing-you wont hear me complain ever again at yoga!
    Serena-nice picture! :)

  • sarena

    Michelle I told you it was addictive. See you in a class someday. I am doing more CF these days than yoga it seems. I am sure our paths will cross again soon! One day those 50lb weights will feel even greater and another day you will imagine you ever dreamed them! That’s the wisdom and beauty of crossfit.

  • michelle

    Well Sarena-Issac’s 6 pm yoga class tonight should be fine– provided I can do the entire class sitting down!
    C u soon!

    this gonna be the same wod for today’s evening classes?
    im so friggin broken from monday night. (thanks court)
    any tips on what to eat to speed up the recovery process?? (quads n shoulders are killing me.)

  • http://www.crossfitnyc.org Keith W.

    Yes, same WOD tonight, unless I get vetoed by Court, Josh or Mike.
    I recommend a cocktail of advil, fish oil and glucosamine…vodka to taste.
    Seriously, eat lean meat and fish, fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, little starch, no sugar.
    Get lots of sleep.

    What’s on tap for Sat?
    Can you guys post a list of who teaches what classes, and which ones will be Onramp vs. WOD?
    Thanks, Brett

  • Joe

    What are the gym hours? While you are getting up and running are you open all day or only during the classes? I would like to stop by and check it out.

  • http://www.dammit.com dammit

    oh man it’s the CF Total today! looks like i’m going to be doing two WODs.

  • kim

    Joe,
    Think of this gym as a dojo rather than the typical commercial gym. It’s all classes. M-F 7am & 12:30, 7, 8pm, S&Su 10:30(I think) Check out the front page (crossfitnyc.org) in case my memory is off.
