It is never just one guy! When we see a successful business or athlete, we only take in the finished product such as several gold medals or a thriving enterprise. But underneath is the whole iceberg consisting of ( but not only) 1 Hard work. No , there is no epiphany or breakthrough, there is just executing well for years […]
Apologies for the radio silence but the last couple weeks have been rather eventful. Yes, we moved the gym! Even though the details of said move would make a great broadway show or at least two family guy episodes I will spare you Instead, I shall outline the reasons for the move as well as our vision for the […]
Your metabolism is just fine! We have all heard or said it: After 30 , your metabolism slows down, it is all downhill from there. This is either a convenient excuse or a sad reality, depending where you stand. Personally, I have always doubted whether this made any sense.

Not only are we having our busiest August ever ( there go your summer vacation guys, sorry) but we also received some favorable press.

One year ago,I was biking all by myself on Madison Avenue. No cars, no motorcycles, no bikes.. nothing. It was eerie. I felt like the guy who did not get the email about the zombie attack. Needless to say my place of business was closed and things in general were in dire straits altogether. Today, […]
Yesterday, Shane and I had the good fortune to attend the first NY Knicks play off game post covid ( and in almost a decade) and it was absolutely electrifying. It almost felt odd to be in a huge crowd without masks ( no entry without a vaccination card) but I got used to it […]
