News and Notes from CFSBK Members
Not surprisingly, CFSBKers are still doing amazing stuff. Here’s what you’ve been up to:
- CFSBKer and FDNY Battalion Chief Simon Ressner wrote a piece for ProPublica describing a recent 24-hour shift that started on April 3rd. The FDNY responds to over 300,000 medical calls a year and are one of the front lines in the Coronavirus pandemic. As a Battalion Chief, Simon needs to organize the response and resources of four engine companies and two ladder companies of the 57. Read about a day in Simon’s life HERE.
- A note from Stella Z.: “The New York Times crossword app has just published a set of 20 midi crosswords (9×9, so smaller than the daily crossword in the paper but bigger than a midi) that I wrote. Better yet, the theme of the set is fitness, so there will be a ton of inside references for CrossFitters! The pack is available for purchase through the app only (not on the Times puzzle website). I hope some CFSBKers will give it a try!”
- CFSBK resident philosopher Samir C. wrote a timely essay about how philosophy can ease anxiety.
- Coach David was recently quoted in a Zen Planner article about how small businesses are engaging members during the shutdown. Check it out!

Today: Equipment Pickup from 12pm to 1pm
We know some of you missed the previous pickup windows, so we’re doing another one tomorrow (Wednesday the 8th) from 12-1pm. CFSBK members can pick up one dumbbell or kettlebell for free. We will have the doors propped open to make sure you don’t need to touch anything other than what you’re taking, and we ask that you wear gloves and a mask. We are not offering barbells, and equipment adoption is only open to CFSBK members.
Here’s what we have left as of Tuesday evening:
Kettlebells: 8kg and 32kg kettlebells only, nothing in between
Dumbbells: 15lbs and down, 55lbs and up
Medicine Ball: Several
Rowers/Ergs/Barbells anything else: none!
Question of the Day
What have you started doing during shelter-in-place that you’d like to continue doing after its over.
