NYC Independent Training Gyms: Exceed TriBeCa

By Jessica Milliken, personal traine\"exceedr

Exceed, located at 97 Reade Street, maintains the scent of freshly folded towels, polished rowing machines, and tight bosus- its an ideal candidate for your new favorite functional and private training studio. This is owner Catharine Goodwin’s second spot since her successful Upper East Side venue launched in 2012.

Exceed compares their featured bodyweight class “The Workout” to Crossfit- similarly high intensity, yet a lower impact level. Their vision is to create a ‘Physical Culture” where inner athletes are brought out, but safety concerns are not.

\"exceedThey are spacious by Manhattan standards, with high ceilings in each of the three large rooms. The mirrored walls are lined with kettle bells, TRX, Bosus, and pull up bars. There are massage tables, sleds, and an oversized truck tire ready for flipping. The basement includes a locker room for independent trainers, set with Wifi. The shower and locker rooms seal the deal, with a presentation fit for a photo shoot.

The per session rates for independent trainers are competitive and reasonable. No formal contract is required to attend “The Workout” classes, they are available for drops ins and have a flat rate for unlimited monthly sweats.

\"exceedExceed’s convenience factor is a win for any traveling trainer; Off Broadway, below Canal Street, in that sweet spot of lower Manhattan above the Financial District where east and westside trains overlap- less than two minutes to 123, 456, R,AC,JZ. trains.

There’s a lot to like about Exceed; It decently accommodates independent trainers, their clients, and the community. I recently attended its open house and received a friendly follow up from the club manager, Stephanie, who recounted details of our brief conversation. Classy. Time Out has already named it the “Best Gym in NYC for Functional Fitness.” It’s a gorgeous space with the personalized touch, so check it out.

Be A Little Better Everyday

Establishing positive daily habits is a powerful way to create long-lasting changes and improve your overall well-being. By incorporating these nine simple habits into your routine, you can positively impact your physical health, mental clarity, and personal growth. Let’s dive into these habits and explore the benefits they bring to your life.

One Hour of Exercise

Engaging in at least one hour of exercise daily helps boost your energy levels, promotes weight management, and strengthens your cardiovascular system. Regular exercise also releases endorphins, improving your mood and reducing stress. If you aren’t sure how to get started, hire a personal trainer.

Two Liters of Water

Staying properly hydrated by consuming two liters of water per day promotes healthy digestion, enhances cognitive function, and supports overall cellular health. Water also aids in flushing out toxins from your body and helps maintain healthy skin.

Three Cups of Tea

Drinking three cups of tea, such as green, herbal, or black tea, provides a host of benefits, including antioxidant protection, improved digestion, and enhanced immune function. Tea can also help relax the mind and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Four Colors on Your Plate

Including a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables in your meals ensures a broad range of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. The vibrant colors indicate the presence of beneficial phytochemicals, which help reduce inflammation, support a strong immune system, and promote optimal health.

Five Minutes of Meditation

Taking just five minutes each day to practice meditation can improve focus, reduce anxiety and stress, and promote emotional well-being. It allows you to cultivate mindfulness, gain mental clarity, and develop a sense of inner peace.

Six Songs that Motivate You

Listening to six motivational songs each day can uplift your mood, boost motivation, and provide a positive outlook. Music has the power to inspire, evoke emotions, and drive you towards achieving your goals.

Seven Minutes of Laughter

Laughter is indeed the best medicine. Devote seven minutes to engaging in activities that bring joy and laughter, whether it’s watching a funny video, spending time with loved ones, or reading jokes. Laughter reduces stress, enhances immune function, and improves overall well-being.

Eight Hours of Sleep

Getting a restful eight hours of sleep every night is crucial for your physical and mental health. Quality sleep supports brain function, promotes optimal hormone regulation, and aids in the body’s repair and recovery processes.

Read Nine Pages of a Book

Dedicating time to read nine pages of a book each day enhances knowledge, expands creativity, and improves cognitive abilities. Reading provides mental stimulation, reduces stress, and offers a valuable opportunity for personal growth and self-reflection. Incorporating these nine daily habits into your routine can lead to transformative changes in your life. From physical fitness and hydration to mental well-being and personal growth, each habit contributes to your overall health and happiness. Remember, change happens gradually, so start by incorporating one or two habits at a time and gradually build upon them. Embrace these habits as a lifestyle, and you’ll witness the positive impact they have on your well-being. Start today and embark on a journey towards a happier, healthier you.
