We will be hosting CrossFit Mobility and Recovery Certifications (which most of our coaching staff will attend). Originally, we had planned to host only a single one-day certification on Saturday, February 27th. When we made this decision, we expected that February 27th would be a Rest Day, and that attendance would be at its lowest.

Subsequently, CrossFit HQ altered the normal 3-on/1-off routine by having an unprecedented four WOD's during a single cycle. (The fourth WOD was in honor of the soldiers killed at Fort Hood.) Because the Saturday, February 27th certification sold out so quickly, we agreed to hold a second certification on Sunday, February 28th, which will be a Rest Day.

We make nothing for hosting. The complementary slots we receive are all donated to our coaching staff.

If you are interested in doing the Saturday WOD at Black Box Brooklyn and/or doing a Rest Day WOD on Sunday, please post to comments, so we can decide whether to add extra classes in Brooklyn. Thanks.
