  • FitMenCook talks Lubriderm

    Last Wednesday we wrapped up the month of May with Kevin Curry of FitMenCook at KORE New York to promote his collaboration with Lubriderm. After class, Kevin and I took a moment to discuss his fitness transition, the social shift in food, and the importance of skin in wellness. Tell me about you transitioned from just…

  • IT’S A FULL BODY EXPERIENCE AT MISSION 360

    With technology basically living our lives for us, it seems undeniable that more avenues would benefit from bringing together synonymous accompaniments and house them under one roof – like wellness and fitness. Being coined one the fastest growing trillion dollar industries, how is that if one wants to meditate, receive life coaching, workout at home,…

  • WEEK 4 @ FLEX STUDIOS | A NEW MUSCLE HAS BEEN BORN…

    It’s not easy bidding adieu to things you love, but sometimes you just have to. Last week was my fourth and final week of FLEX Studios and to really get a feel for it, I went to classes at the Union Square location. I know. Leaving the comfort of the NoHo I love, and explore…

  • WEEK 2 @ FLEX STUDIOS : MEET THE CREATOR

    It’s always customary to get to know the brains behind these fitness facilities. It’s even more relatable when you see they aren’t owned by big businesses, but by people who truly want to extend the experiential offerings of varying workouts to the world around them. Jeanette Simon is the Founder and Owner of FLEX Studios who’s…

  • WEEK 1 @ FLEX STUDIOS : THE HONEYMOON PHASE

    Ok, I’m at it again with this month of torture fitness. Honestly, I don’t know why I do it so often, because I’m not a fitness fanatic. It makes me feel great. It gets me in shape. It releases voodoo-like endorphins that make me feel happy and invincible. But, since I sleep so little, that…

  • WELLVYL, THE SOCIAL HEALTH CLUB

    Working out has become the new thing to do among friends. No joke… it’s become as popular as brunching every weekend and experiencing that “much needed” spa day, but no one has really capitalized on making those über expensive studios more than just a place to sweat and scram. But now, that’s all in the…

  • RUNNER’S DELIGHT

    That marathon runners can’t-be-late-for-my-next-yoga-session, can’t-begin-my-day-without-my-cold-pressed-juice trend is going no where for a while. It’s the new culture that’s become so addictive and financially lucrative that it’s believed to be the next multi-billion dollar industry, surpassing the expectations initially given. And yes, many of your eyes have changed to dollar signs, but with the health state of…

  • THE NEXT FITNESS STAR: RACHEL NICKS

    I met Rachel when she was at Exhale in Meatpacking. It was the BurnThis event and consisted of two parts – outside running followed by a barre class with Rachel at Exhale. I opted out of the running portion for several reasons and Rachel stayed back to set up her room. Later that year, when…

  • The Benefits of Using Natural Body Oils

    It’s no secret that the world is getting more health-conscious. As awareness continues to grow about the harsh effects of chemical-based products, people are actively looking for healthier alternatives to use and support. One sector where “natural” and “healthy” is buzzing loudly is skin care. While conventional, chemical-based skin care products are still quite popular,…

  • DISQ – A NEW WAY TO RESISTANCE TRAIN

    Did you know the power of resistance can drastically change your workout? Seriously. It can turn that easy walk in the park to a sweat fest filled stroll. The problem is that 1.) Resistance training isn’t really marketed to the world outside of personal training and 2.) How many people really know what resistance can…

  • I’M A TOE TALKER!

    I’m a Toe Talker! No, not like a horse whisperer. I’m a Toe Talk Ambassodor. Which means periodically I’ll be doing posts about their new launches, getting the word out about their charitable missions, plus doing really great giveaways (like one to Turks and Caicos) for 2015. Jan Beresford whose personal quest of motivation and…

  • SNEAKER FREAK FRIDAY | NEW BALANCE X KATE SPADE SATURDAY

    There have been tons and tons and tons of sneaker collaborations these passed couple of years. Many times I’ve always believed they were nothing more than an opportunity to get a slice of the urban market pie. These sneaks were typically never comfortable, there price tags brought out the blood lust in many, and at…
