CrossFit East River Posts Jan 24-25 WODs With Scaling Options, Community Updates

CrossFit East River refreshed its daily programming page with detailed workouts and community announcements dated Jan 24-25, 2026, giving members clear scaling choices and movement prep to guide class sessions. The headline workout, labeled Double Agent, pushed gymnastics density and grip endurance in a short, hard time domain while offering Level 2, Level 1, Masters, and competitor or travel alternatives for athletes across ability levels.

Double Agent was programmed as four sets of 16-14-12-10 toes-to-bar, followed by 24 crossovers or 48 double unders, then 16-14-12-10 alternating dumbbell snatches, with one minute rest between sets. The prescription included a dumbbell weight guideline, a target time domain of 10 to 15 minutes, and a 15-minute time cap. The stated stimulus focused on grip and gymnastics density, signaling that athletes should expect skin wear from TTB and handle-heavy work from the DB snatches in a condensed format.

The site snapshot from Jan 24-25 also showed Mercy, an AMRAP-style piece that escalates calorie counts and wall ball work, along with structured warm-ups, movement prep, and accessory sessions posted alongside each WOD. These additions make the page function as more than a cue sheet; CrossFit East River is using the WOD page as a one-stop programming hub where coaches publish full workout details, scaling prescriptions, and suggested warm-up progressions to streamline class flows and help athletes self-manage outside coached hours.

For practical purposes, the explicit scaling options matter. Athletes coming off travel or training cycles can pick competitor or travel versions, masters athletes have specific prescriptions, and new lifters can follow Level 1 scaling. The clear rep schemes and rest breaks let members plan pacing, decide whether to attempt toes-to-bar unbroken or break into sets, and choose between crossovers and double unders based on skill and skin condition.

Community logistics were also updated. CrossFit East River encouraged members to join the gym WhatsApp for schedule and community updates, reinforcing the WOD page as a living, updated resource. Full workout content and scaling details remain posted at beastriver.com/wod for anyone needing the exact prescriptions and warm-up guidance.

For attendees, the takeaways are straightforward: review the published scaling options before class, dial in your warm-up to protect the skin and grip, and use the WhatsApp channel for schedule changes. With programmed pieces targeting gymnastics density and grip, plan your session around maintenance of form and efficient transitions so you come out of a 10- to 15-minute cap workout ready for accessory work rather than needing recovery days.
