I TRIED THE MOST CHALLENGING WORKOUT IN NYC
I was in Manhattan for about 2 weeks and decided to try several challenging NYC workouts (why not).
I tried five different workout classes:
-Mile High Run Club
-Soul Cycle
-Tone House
-modelFIT
-Shadow Box
I honestly recommend all of those classes for everybody living in Manhattan or visiting there for a while. My personal favorite was Shadow Box and the most chilled one was Soul Cycle. modelFIT was slow and peaceful but it quietly tortures your thighs and butt so if you are not into go go go go cardio workout, this one is for you (and yeah there are a lot of models there but it's not just for models).
Tone House, this one deserves a separate paragraph.
I thought I've done some terrible/amazing workouts, but then there's Tone House. Tone House is like Oreo in the world of cookies and Beyonce+Rihanna in the world of pop music. This is hands down the most challenging workout in NYC and it's not for the beginners (I died). I was already crying inside after the warm-up (It wasn't even a warm-up seriously; it was already an intense full body cardio workout, and I died again when I realized it's only been 10 minutes since the class has started) Expect a lot of grunting and shouting, intimidating music (epic music) with red lighting, a lot of shirtless men and mirrors everywhere, zero recovery time, struggling, sweating, struggling, sweating and feeling effing good after everything.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger but like this one was a close call.
