War on Wall Street pits crossfit champs against each other in friendly competition

Maybe you’re a fitness lover and a sucker for a rigorous workout. Or, maybe you just want to catch the food and drink specials from your favorite spots on Wall Street while observing local athletic powerhouses. The War on Wall Street crossfit competition gives beginners, intermediates and “RX” athletes their time to shine as they deadlift, pull-up and rope-climb their way to the top. A DJ spins tunes all day while spectators get hit with crossfit physical challenges and trivia along the way. Don’t miss the Fancy Pants contest, where a little shimmy and shake in your wackiest leggings could be worth a $25 bar tab.
