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.
Where: USA, NY, New York City – Alphabet City section of the East Side neighborhood: Manhattan’s Tomkins Square Park
- is bounded on the north by East 10th Street, on the east by Avenue B, on the south by East 7th Street, and on the west by Avenue A. St. Marks Place abuts the park to the west. Pullup bars are located by the basketball court.

The Empire State Building
my fifth floor walk-up
When I moved in to my fifth floor walk-up apartment a couple of months ago, it took me about twenty seemingly never ending trips to get all my crap up. That’s a hundred floors climbed – or in New York City math, one time up (and back down) the Empire State Building. Thinking about that, I wondered how many times I’d climb those stairs in a year. Taking into account days I’m not home at all I average about three trips up and down between street level and my “penthouse” apartment. Multiply that by 365 equals 5475 flights of stairs climbed in a year. Divide that by a hundred and I will climb the Empire State Building 54.75 time this year. Just saying.
