T-shirts for WITNESS… get ‘em while they’re hot!

The co-founders of Nimble Fitness, the innovative wellness studio located in New York City, have joined forces with musician Peter Gabriel to raise money for WITNESS, the international human rights organization that Gabriel heads. After meeting the legendary musician last year, Nimble owners Daniel Lucas and Keith Paine decided to run the race of their lives–their first New York City Marathon—to raise money and awareness about WITNESS, which documents human rights abuse around the world. Said Gabriel: “They’re crazy. God bless them!”

In addition to running the race, The Nimble Fitness Team is now selling awesome t-shirts with all proceeds going to WITNESS. Grab yours before they’re all gone!  Stop by or give us a call at 212 633-9030 to reserve your shirt today.

WITNESS uses video to open the eyes of the world to human rights violations. WITNESS empowers people to transform personal stories of abuse into powerful tools for justice, promoting public engagement and policy change. www.witness.org

[the] movement initiative is a New York City based dance company that works as an ever expanding artist collective. Created by Artistic Director Caryn Marie (choreographer, performer) in April, 2010; the company serves as a platform to create work in a collaborative setting with the goal of removing common artistic barriers.

New classroom construction under way!

It’s been slow going but progress is finally being made. We’ve been working diligently with our contractors and architects to design a new-and-improved downstairs studio. We are installing a new sports flooring, which will look and feel better than the old wood floors. The studio will also be slighter larger. In addition there will be a better sound system and more exercise equipment to play with.

Our estimated completion date is October 1, 2011. There will be a new class schedule up in the next few weeks.. Please check back periodically for updates.  We thank all our clients, class members and friends for their patience and support. Thank you!

Classroom Under Construction (again)

On June 5, 2011 there was a water main rupture in front of Nimble Fitness. The ensuing flood turned our beautiful downstairs studio into a swimming pool. We know water aerobics can be a great form of exercise (especially during the hot summer months) but nobody remembered to bring their bathing suit. Needless to say we had to cancel all our classes.
.

Every cloud has its silver lining. We have begun demolition and are working with our contractors to rebuild the downstairs studio. The new room will be an improvement over the old and we will have classes up and running in no time!
.

.

Our personal training sessions are still going strong (no pun intended) and we welcome you to come in for a complimentary fitness assessment. Contact us for more details.
.

Thank you for your patience and support as we move forward through this challenging time.
