  • WEEK 1 @ AQUA STUDIO NY: IT’S NOT AS EASY AS YOU THINK!

    Last week, I started AQUA Studio, which is basically aqua biking. An idea taken from France and brought to the States, has peaked the interests of workout aficionados alike. I’m slowly learning to love sweating up a storm, and sort of thought underwater cycling would be a walk in the park. Thus far, I’ve been…

  • INTERVIEW EXCLUSIVE| ESTHER GAUTHIER

    We’re doing things a little backwards this week. Rather than introducing you to AQUA Studiothrough a journal, we’re speaking with owner of this revolutionary Tribeca studio, Esther Gauthier. And before you say anything ho-hum, know that this place isn’t your run of the mill cycling studio. There’s no out of breath exertion. It’s ideal for…

  • WEEK 2 @ THE BARI STUDIO: BARIDDICTED

    Hi. My name is Tillie Eze and I’m Bariddicted. ::everyone chimes in unison:: “Welcome, Tillie.” It’s week two and I’m still going strong! I overbooked myself on Thursday, so wasn’t able to attend class, but did double duty on Friday to make up for it. Quick side note, last week, an instructor asked me what…

  • WEEK 1 @ THE BARI STUDIO

    It’s March which means, 1) spring is almost here, 2) we lose an hour of sleep, and 3) I’ve started a new workout practice. This month, I’ll be Bariddicted at The Bari Studio in Tribeca. So far, I’ve attended three classes and by the time this story goes live, I’ll have attended four. But of…

  • FINAL WEEK @ CROSSFIT NYC

    It’s over. My final week of CrossFit is over. Well it actually ended last week due to New York Fashion Week taking over my life. It’s only day two and I’d trade all my show tickets for one night stay in a hotel with all the fixins’. But I won’t. Back to CrossFit. I’m one…

  • HIP & HEALTHY| JCPENNY X KARINA SMIRNOFF

    Dancing with the Stars Karina Smirnoff hosted JCPenney’s New Year, New You Fitness Event at the JCPenney’s showroom in SoHo. Decked out in JCPenny’s Xersion and CityStreets Activewear lines, Karina led dance aerobic classes that had our heart pumping and muscles screaming. As Smirnoff yelled positive affirmations to keep our spirits high and prevent us from slacking in the…

  • WEEK 2 @ CROSSFIT NYC

    It’s week two and I’ve vomited twice. Both times on a Monday, so it could just be a case of the Mondays. Ha… I’m actually laughing out loud. Seriously, I’m not sure what’s caused it, but have noticed it happens when I run. Do I not run properly? I mean I do have bad posture,…

  • WEEK 1 @ CROSSFIT NYC: THE BLACK BOX

    It’s the New Year and don’t think I’m going to harass your eyes with “New Year, New Me”, because it’s so overused, they’ve created memes for it. What I will say, is that I love the New Year. It’s like you’ve been given a new year to right all personal wrongs. Basically, stop making excuses…

  • HUM NUTRITION | HEALTH DELIVERED TO YOUR DOORSTEP

    For the last month I’ve been using HUM supplements during my 5K training. I’ve taken supplements in the past and the biggest issue was that I never knew which one was best for me. HUM Nutrition took all the guess work out of that with my personal nutritionist introducing me to 3 daily supplements best…

  • JOURNAL 4 – STAYING FIT ON THE GO

    As you may know, I was in Toronto some weeks back and had a difficult time sticking to my regimen. So while at the Shangri-La, I spoke with Gym Director and Health Club Trainer Hirash Gurar. I explained to him what I was doing with Brad Gansberg, and my struggle with weight in the past…

  • MY JOURNAL – STAYING STYLISH WHILE GETTING FIT

    It’s been week 6 of training, but I’m still on week 4 of the interval running process. Does this make sense? Probably not… let me clarify. In training, it gets to a certain point where your body (or your mind) decides you’ve hit a wall or it can’t go any further. To break passed this,…
