About a year ago, FBG Kristen posted about her “normal,” and it’s a post that’s always stuck with me. Perception and our experience is everything, even with workouts. And lately, my normal had been a little yoga, tough, high-intensity workouts and running. In fact, in the month before getting a stress fracture in my foot, [...]

Whenever Jamba hosts an event, I know I’m in for a full day of intense muscle jubilee. The first year Jenn and I attended Jamba’s day of workouts, I didn’t properly fuel, and I paid for it handsomely with fatigue and Gumby-like limb movements.

For years, I have been curious to check out the super-fancy Reebok Sports Club/NY, which is up by Lincoln Center and (according to my sources) takes up six floors of space for an indoor pool, full-scale rock wall and a spa.
