It’s like fitness studios know I need a kick in the pants now that summer is over. A bunch of NYC hotspots are running fall-to-winter challenges to help you get in shape despite the falling temperatures. The added benefit of a challenge is the sense of community you get when you commit to something with other people. I’ve been jonesing for something to take my workouts up a notch and I think this might be just the thing. There are at least three going right now at hot NYC studios.
BONUS: Guess which one I’m trying? (Answer at the end of the post.)
Here’s the rundown.
Most of these challenges have pretty cute names.
Barry’s Bootcamp: #Sweaty16 Challenge.
What it is:
Barry’s is daring you to take 16 classes in 30 days (October 22 – November 20) with the Barry’s #Sweaty16 challenge. (Learn about Barry’s here.)
How it works/incentive:
Finish all 16 in the allotted time, and win an exclusive piece of Barry’s swag, plus a free class for you and one for a friend who is new to Barry’s. The person to finish FIRST will win all their classes back. You’ll get a gift card for 16 classes.
Discount:
Nope.

I’m trying Refine’s Take2! I’ll let you know how it goes (obviously).
Anyone else taking one of these challenges? Have you in the past?
