About Beastanetics

Created in 2009 by certified personal trainer, Tim Haft, Beastanetics is a small group, interval-training program which focuses on proven bodyweight exercises such as squats, push-ups, planks, lunges, crawls, and various forms of gait.

Beastanetics improves strength, cardiovascular conditioning, agility, mobility, balance, coordination, power, and body composition. Check out some of the Beastanetics tutorials and workouts on YouTube.

Classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:15-9:15am at the McCarren Park artificial turf field in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, just a short walk from the Bedford stop on the L train or the Nassau stop on the G train.

If the temperature falls below 32 degrees and/or if it’s raining or snowing, we hold an informal strength training session at the McCarren Play Center across the street from the turf field.

A monthly Beastanetics pass costs $80. A drop-in class, space permitting, costs $20.

New students are welcome to a one-time free trial.

Beasts—as students of Beastanetics are affectionately known—come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, ages, and fitness levels. Here’s what a couple of students had to say about the class:

”Beastanetics is awesome. I enjoy it and have seen good results from doing it. Tim Haft, the dude in charge, has designed a really great program. It's a modified version of the Tabata Training Protocols, which are a form of HIIT (High-intensity interval training). Look them up if you're interested in the science. Basically, you work your ass off for a short period of time...and I mean really work. No joke. This is more effective than "moderate" exercising over a long period. You WILL see results. You will also find it surprisingly enjoyable. It’s also outdoors, which is awesome.”
—Joe Katz

”Awesome class. Tim is supportive and inspiring and definitely knows his stuff. The attitude is low-key but the workout is not: you won't believe how long 34 seconds feels (or how SHORT the 18-second recovery feels) but the results are worth the effort. Like a needle, it hurts, but it's over before you know it. Your abs and thighs will thank you (but not within the first 48 hours when they will be screaming at you). Highly recommended for anyone from couch potato to elite athlete. You can push yourself as hard as you want to or hold back if you're really dying. The group atmosphere is great too, supportive and fun.”
