Bootcamp-literally!
We hear it all over. Oh, this class is like a boot camp, this workshop was a boot camp…-but do you really know what a boot camp feels like? You probably don’t, unless you have taken our Boot Camp Group Fitness Class. If our instructor can’t get you in shape, I am not sure who [...]
The New School is in the House!

Snack Attack!
Snack light friends…. We’ve all heard that snacking is great for the metabolism…but have you taken it too far? In other words, your excessive snacking may be killing your fitness results.

At 6am sharp students along [...]
The Battle of Boroughs: Knicks vs. Nets – Who has your heart?

NO GYM? NO PROBLEM!
The average gym membership is $60 a month and in between classes, studying, and partying—not necessarily in that order—most college students simply don’t have the time or the money to go to the gym. Even with the free fitness classes with the New School Recreation Department, you may not have time in between your classes [...]
WINTER BLUES
WINTER BLUES Empress Varnado Jan 29, 2013 I don’t know about you, but this winter and holiday break has been very rough on me.
