Program Description
Bars and Bells is Dean CrossFit's signature strength and skill program, blending barbell lifting with gymnastics movement to develop athletes who are strong, coordinated, and capable across every domain.
Based in Brooklyn, NY, this program is designed for members who want more than just a workout — they want to get genuinely better at moving and lifting under load.
Each session pairs structured barbell work — squats, presses, and pulls — with gymnastics progressions and skill development. You'll get stronger on the bar and on the rings, building a foundation of fitness that makes every other class feel more powerful and efficient.
Barbell Strength Meets Gymnastics Skill
Bars and Bells is built on the belief that the best athletes develop strength and skill together, not in isolation. Each session integrates barbell movements with gymnastics progressions to create a uniquely well-rounded training effect.
Structured Programming with Purpose
Every session follows a deliberate structure — warm-up, skill work, strength block, and conditioning — so you're always developing across multiple physical qualities at once. The programming is periodized to peak your strength and sharpen your skills over time.
Coaches Who Know Both Disciplines
Our Bars and Bells coaches are experienced in both barbell lifting and gymnastics, giving you expert guidance across the full spectrum of the program. You'll receive technique feedback on your clean and jerk just as readily as your kip swing or ring support.
Results That Transfer Everywhere
The strength and movement quality you build in Bars and Bells shows up in every other class, sport, and daily activity. Athletes in this program consistently report faster CrossFit times, heavier lifts, and better body awareness across the board.
