New CrossFit Gym Coming To Gowanus: Report

GOWANUS, BROOKLYN — Gym rats in Gowanus and surrounding neighborhoods will have another option for working out next year, according to a report.

The Commercial Observer is reporting that Gowanus CrossFit has signed a lease in a future mixed-use building planned for 519-529 Third Avenue, a stretch between 12th and 13th Streets.

The gym will take up a 4,660 square feet of the ground-floor space in the building after signing a 10-year lease at $45 per square foot, the Observer reported.

Patch has reached out to CrossFit for confirmation and we'll update this post if we hear back. A bare-bones website for Gowanus CrossFit promises "the last gym you'll ever join" and asks users to enter an email address for updates.

More, from the Observer:

The new gym will feature an array of equipment, including dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells, rowers, bikes, sleds and climbing ropes, and plans to cultivate a culture that can enjoy the pleasures of fitness, according to a company statement.

“We will be focused on building an incredibly supportive and fun community that is welcoming of all people of any level of fitness,” Gowanus CrossFit said in a statement to CO. “We are not an elite training center focused on athletes.”
