While I’m using this blog as a bulletin board to announce various facets of my life: CrossFit NYC, the workout group I’ve been helping run, just opened a gym of its very own, The Black Box, in midtown Manhattan.

The gym is essentially a nonprofit, so I don’t make any money by pimping it out. Instead, I just honestly believe CrossFit is simply the most effective and most efficient way to get in excellent shape.

We have CrossFit NYC members of every fitness level – from military special forces guys on through to eighty-year-old grandmothers – and as I’m fairly sure you fall somewhere between those two, you should fit right in.

The CrossFit approach has been praised in publications from Skiing Magazine to Men’s Fitness (though, conversely, the NY Times did make us sound a bit like whack-jobs). And we have member testimonials galore (consider an attorney who came to us barely able to do a pullup, and was banging out sets of nearly twenty inside of eight months).

So, come on down, and give it a try. Classes are free throughout January, giving you the perfect chance to actually stick to your New Years resolution for a change.
