PR
Manhattan Crowd: Want to maximize your chance for a PR on tonight’s “Helen?” Then go out to Black Box Brooklyn (8 minutes on the L-Train from Union Square plus a three-block walk; get out at Grahm, walk on Metropolitan to 817, just past the White Castle).
BBB is the perfect setup for WOD’s involving sprints:
o Large garage doors just off the street
o Clear unobstructed runs
o Virtually pedestrian free path
o Kettlebells positioned right at the end of the run
o Pull-up bars positioned in front of the door
You wont find a better setup anywhere. Take a few extra minutes and make the trip, tonight; whenever the WOD is sprinting intensive; or whenever the boat seems too crowded.
We’re working out a new schedule there, but for the next week or so, you’ll be safe showing up between 6:30 and 7:30.
If i get there at 6:30, can i get the WOD in before the beginners class?
Not a problem at all OT...
Thats what i love to hear. I sure do love the triple-B

Moon and Erica, couldn't have finished without you guys...hardest workout for me so far
Nicole,
The dumbell is 30 lbs...
Great job everyone on Helen tonight. Beginners kicked much ass!!!! You actually made me think about doing it as well. But rest day for us Performance Menu WOD'ers.
Nicole,
Great job last night! Helen is very taxing and you definitely rose to the challenge!
