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?
