PS, anyone go to New York Sports Clubs?
I do. All over Manhattan. Recently discovered the best Zumba instructor and an awesome Cardio Jam and Shred instructor. Let me know if you'd want to go to the club together sometime.0 -
Hi! I'm 30 y.o. and getting back to a healthier lifestyle. I've lost 35 pounds over the last year and want to continue the progress. I go to NYSC 4-5 days a week and am trying to get into running. Would love to find a gym buddy or two. Looking to motivate and be motivated by amazing people. Together we'll accomplish our fitness goals! Feel free to add me as a friend.0

I have recently transformed from an injury that left me incapacitated for 10 - yes TEN YEARS. I practice gratitude every day and am looking for activity buddies to have BIG fun with.
After all, the purpose for getting fit, eating well, and doing the work to care for our wonderful bodies is to ENJOY LIFE!
So, I am organizing a bunch of private, intro classes where we can try new fitness and health activities WITH FUN PEOPLE who are supportive and who won't give us that snotty-gym-vibe to crash our endorphins. And, of course, we all have a little fun with beverages and hors d'oeuvres after.
These are NOT money-making-ventures. I am interested in finding fitness friends to have fun with.
You can find out more about me and my fun intentions on my profile!0 -
Hi Everyone!
I'm Susan, 31, Long Island. I joined MFP a while ago, but wasn't ready to make the commitment to myself just then.
So, here I am! (as of yesterday :laugh: )
I'm looking to lose about 100lbs total!!!!
I am awesome when it comes to motivating other people, but I find I need a bit of motivation from others, too.
Want to know more? Check out my MFP profile or just add me as a friend~!*0 -
Sophia, 24 Brooklyn! I've lived here for about 2 years. I am looking to be a size 8 (not a weight goal but I have no idea how much I will weigh at that point) I also have the lofty goal of running the NY Marathon in the next 2-3 years. Feel free to add me.0

Hi guys!
Any interest in a monthly meeting somewhere to compare weight loss/fitness goal progress, etc.? So that there's more of a real life network & accountability? We could meet in a neutral, public (yay safety!) location every 2-4 weeks & keep each other in check.
Also with NYSC.

I keep getting pissed off jealous of people who have things like their running or yoga class or club, etc - i would like some fit minded friends who are active and like to do sht like tough mudders and rock climbing and bodyweight stuff at the playgrounds and lifting and flexing in the mirror and goofing off in the ocean at the beach and drinking beers.
this is new york city - there should be a few awesome people around.
I dont automatically make friends with everyone - im picky and looking for similar people to hang with if we get along. none of this ' well we're both on MFP so that means we're besties crap, though. I like friendships that develop organically.
and i eat alot. so if you have food triggers, dont come with me after a run to fuel up or anything cause im probably getting a burger. and fries. with cheese.0 -
Hi! My name's Megan. Im 30, single, and originally from the far-off state of Montana, but I moved to NYC about three years ago for a teaching fellowship. I am a dual language teacher in an Brookyln elementary school, and I love it here. When I originally moved to the city, I was teaching full time, as well as working on a graduate fellowship degree- so I was either working/on the train/in class from sun up to sundown every day, all week. Basically, I didn't sleep or exercise for 2 years! Big surprise, I gained about 20 lbs. However, I just graduated this May, and now its SUMMER. Which means no more hours and hours and HOURS of commuting, homework, cheap deli sandwiches, and late night lesson planning.
My goal is to take this year to really focus on myself. I recently got out of a relationship, and I have decided this year I am going to take the time to really focus on ME, no boys allowed. My goal is to lose 50 lbs by next July/August. Among other things, I just bought a mandolin and am planning on taking lessons. School got out this past Thursday, so I just began my journey today-just logged my first day. I could use all the support I can get!!0 -
