Flywheel and Lululemon planned my perfect summer day.

Ok so I am so excited about this one and just signed up to go! On Tuesday, August 17th Flywheel and lululemon athletica are co-hosting the 1st -hopefully- annual Ditch Day!

Here is the plan:

A $20 a month gym in the old Tower Space in NoHo?? Oh hell yes.

So here is a nugget from over on Racked.com, which isn't thrilling them but has me giddy. I hate spending almost $80 a month on the basics at NYSC and all I can say is that I will totally be all over this when it opens up in "the Fall":

Help! Anyone know of a great NYC pool - one that I can get a guest pass too or pay a daily rate?

NYSC pool options blow and in a few weeks I have to swim the 1/2 mile leg of a tri for my friend who isn't able to do it due to an illness. I need to get at least a little practice in before I do it though and would LOVE some suggestions for great lap pools in Brooklyn or NYC!

Women's free CrossFit beginners class...

In my morning email came this little nugget of info: CrossFit NYC: The Black Box has a women-only free beginner class on Tuesdays, 6:30PM. 25 W. 26th St., 3rd Fl.

I just signed up for it on their website, but thought I should pass it along just in case other gal out there had been wanting to try Crossfit too....

McDonald's McNuggets made with 'Silly Putty' chemical

In general fast food scaries me, since the amount of fat and salt and chemicals they are made with is terrifying but this article shocked me.

I just got a free class offer for the Soho Bar Method studio and wanted to pass it on just in case anyone out there is interested in trying the studio too.....

Feat Suggestion: Take a vacation from your fitness routine and explore

As someone who can’t take a vacation this year, my challenge is to bust out of normal city mode and explore. This month, do a minimum of  4 active acts of exploring, getting outside of your fitness routine and blog about them to inspire others for a respite from daily life…

Examples would be:

A good deal at Brooklyn Boulders Climbing Gym!

Today at livingsocial.com they have a good deal for Brooklyn Boulders, a Month-Long Rock Climbing Membership and Yoga Classes for $49. 

I got one but thought I should pass it on in case anyone is interested!

New York

Aerial Silks class deal....just in case anyone is interested!

This morning in my inbox:

New Bar Method Studio opening in Soho.... right down the street from Physique 57?

So this morning I got an email about a new Bar Method studio opening up in Soho...I don't know why but I find this such a curious addition to the scene. In an area that has both Physique 57 and Exhale to big players in that whole scene it seems like such a strange place to open - especially when the classes cost just as much.
