Where are all the cool NYC lesbians swinging kettlebells?

Please recommend a crossfit gym for me to drop in to while I'm home in NY for the holidays. Would prefer a very queer friendly, feminist, inclusive, supportive community. I'll travel anywhere for best fit, but I'll be staying in Westchester and Astoria.

Best answer: Crossfit Virtuosity in Williamsburg is 100% queer friendly, feminist, inclusive, etc and I can speak to that from personal experience. Crossfit Long Island City is closer to your preferred location and I hear tell that it's equally inclusive, but I've never been there myself.

Bric reopened in Chelsea recently. I've never been but in my anecdotal experience says it has a heavy gay contingent (I fully recognize that it doesn't necessarily follow that the environment would be lesbian friendly).

I'm not familiar with gyms in queens or westchester, though.

Everyone at Kettlebell Kickboxing near city hall is awesome, but I especially recommend Emily and Jenel for classes. It's a very welcoming space for women in terms of age, body shape etc and I am sure you would feel comfortable there.
