CROSSFIT SUFFOLK: Powered By SPARTAN PERFORMANCE

Annmarie, Christina and Maria are obviously Superheroes…because they’re standing in the Superhero pose.  Meanwhile, Tricia C. strolls around the gym and Andrew R. swings a kettlebell.  Nice!

“I have the pose down, but I wish I could CrossFit like Annmarie, Christina and Maria….they just look so much stronger than me”, Wonder Woman was heard to have said.

The Civilian Military Combine (CMC) is being held in Brooklyn, again, on September 27th.  The CMC combines a 5K obstacle run with CrossFit-like workouts.  For more info or to register click HERE.

CHECK THIS OUT—There’s a Powerlifting-like competition called the October IronFest and it’s being held locally at CrossFit Gantry in Long Island City.  The October IronFest is not like a regular Powerlifting event, it’s a Starting Strength event.  What that means to you is the 3 competitive lifts will be the Squat, Press and Deadlift as opposed to the Squat, Bench Press and Deadlift.  Much like the CrossFit Total.  There are 8 gyms participating in this event, but CrossFit Gantry is the only host gym in the Northeast.  The other participating gyms are from Canada, Texas, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina and California.  For those interested in competing in a strength-only competition this looks like a good way to go!  Oh, and you DO NOT have to wear a singlet like ordinary Powerlifting competitions.  How awesome is that??  I wouldn’t delay on this one…we have no other competitions like this in our area and the entry fee is reasonable!  Click HERE for further details.

Speaking of local competitions….CrossFit Bayside is hosting a competition in our neck of the woods.  That’s right, on November 15th The Epic Showdown will take place at The Sports Arena in St. James!  Some of our athletes are registered already!  For more details and to register click HERE.  Let us know if you have questions.
