About: This location is probably, if not the, most famous place to do pullups and workout outside. This location is known as Muscle beach. The iconic spot to workout in the sun in the seventies captured by countless films and other cultural media. Obviously there’s an outdoor gym steps away but you need to pay a fee to work out there (and the days that people work out there are long gone). The sand pit that houses the pullup bar also has parallel bars for dips, a balance beam and a pair of boxing bags – plenty to help you stay in shape while enjoying the coastal breeze and the sun.
Where: Venice Beach Recreation Area, on the west side of Muscle Beach outdoor gym and south of the basketball courts.

About: My favorite place to train is Tompkins Square Park in NYC’s East Village. It has everything I need and it helps me keep my workouts creative.
TSP has built a cult following and become legendary in some circles. Thanks to word of mouth, a great community has taken shape over the years. In addition to doing my bootcamp class there every Saturday morning, I’m lucky enough to train with people who can teach me new things and push me to work harder. Rick Seedman and Alex Borisov of the Bar-barians are two of my favorite training partners lately. We were recently photographed by Felipe Passolas while we did our thing at TSP. I hope you find some inspiration in these pictures.

About: This set of bars is one my two favorite spots to get some sets in (the other being in Miami Beach). There’s a few other work out stations here to do dips, knee raises, step ups and other exercises. During hot days you can crank out some sets and go for a swim or come back at night when it’s a little cooler and listen to the ocean.
Where: USA, FL, Fort Lauderdale – This work out area is on the beach in South Beach Park (across A1A from the Bahia Mar hotel) and the ocean is less than 200 yards away making it the perfect spot to workout.
