Reminder No Classes this Weekend

All classes this Saturday/Sunday are canceled due to the Kelly Starrett Mobility Seminars.  We will return to our regularly scheduled program on Monday.

Why not check out our world-class rock climbing gym next door.  Our friends at Brooklyn Boulders can help you scratch your itch for a physical challenge this weekend.

Or perhaps get in for the penultimate weekend of ice skating on The Pond at Bryant Park?

Maybe unwind from Crush Week with a nice soak at  the Russian Turkish Baths or Spa Castle?

Also what, if any, changes you've made to your goals or plan of attack since starting the program and what you've got planned on the goals front for the month of February? 

Congratulations to on making it this far, the toughest part is largely over!
