Of course, you can only join if you went to Columbia University, but…read morethe membership is a great deal (for young alumni) and there is a lot of club services and benefits that only members enjoy. I am still taking class at Columbia, so i receive a reduced membership rate which really makes my membership a steal! I also belong to the gym there and even though the equipment is kind of old and the gym itself is small and not very pretty, its never crowded and the people who work there are really nice. I would take a nice locker room, friendly staff, and mostly empty gym over NYSC or equinox anytime. I also love the Columbia club for its events and networking opportunity. I moved back to the city recently and its nice having a place to meet people and network. I joined the women's group and I also go to weekly happy hour events. I would recommend this club for anyone who can join!

I was rather surprised about Columbia University Club in how there is no sophistication and…read moregrandeur. Compared to its counterpart Ivy schools like Yale and Penn, Columbia falls behind in terms of amenities, facilities, and overall allure. My friend and I crashed their summer networking cocktail party for alumni (none of us are Columbia alumni) - I was a guest of friend, who is a Columbia alum, but he bailed out last minute. The event itself was pleasant and was held in a courtyard, which was nothing extraordinary but secluded quiet outdoor space at ground level is a blessing in NYC. So far, the trend appears that there is a high correlation between alumni club quality and the caliber of the school itself. It's strange, but the Club was a bit hard to find - I guess it likes to be unassuming. Perhaps this goes back to the days of trying to be more "secretive"? Who knows...

I've had the pleasure... more like the privilege of improving my overall body performance at this…read moregym. I was lucky enough to have partnered with the owner, Dennis. I say partnership because to me, trusting someone else to improve your physical, and even mental health requires a lot of trust, and partnership. The first impression that you get from Dennis is that he is genuinely interested in your well-being. I've had numerous injuries, likely from bad form, pushing myself too hard, and probably from aging. However, Dennis addressed all of my injuries slowly, methodically, and intentionally. He showed me, step-by-step how to correct my form, stretch specific spots of the muscle, etc. After week 1, this one consistent, throbbing pain I've had in my back for a long period of time, drastically reduced. After another week, it was nearly gone. Lately, I barely get any aches in that area and that alone is enough for me to give Dennis and his gym 5 stars, if not more. I've gone to physical therapy for about 2 years before Dennis, with little results. One to two weeks with Dennis, and the pain's gone. Crazy right? It was for me as well - my mind was blown at how quickly and easily he was able to address that one specific pain. Physical improvement. I'm a typical average male, 5'10 who enjoys weight lifting and cycling. I would go to the gym 4-5 times every week and would ride up to 50 miles a week. The odd thing is that my physical body in appearance or in muscle performance didn't improve much. I expressed this frustration to Dennis, and we considered all the potential issues including workouts regiment, exercise forms, dieting, etc. As a result of the conversation, Dennis was kind enough to measure my metabolic rate, and turns out that I have a very fast metabolism, which was contrary to my beliefs! I thought that I had very slow metabolism just based on what I thought I knew, which I guess was not much, but because Dennis listened carefully to all my concerns, he didn't only address what was plain in sight - my workout regiment and form, but also what was invisible - my metabolic rate. Because of this new knowledge that Dennis provided, my energy level has increased dramatically. I used to be very tired throughout the day, and my workouts would sap my energy even more so. It might sound like a simple problem to solve, but I bet that most people are unwilling to "test" their metabolic rate on their own, whether it's by just eating more, or eating less, etc. This discovery, along with Dennis' challenging workout regiments (trust me, you're going to feel it - I had to stop myself numerous times from cussing not to embarrass myself), has dramatically improved my body performance and physical appearance. We all like a way to measure results right? I've been 175-180 pounds for most of the last 3-4 years. I've had this secret desire to aim for under 170 pounds, as that was my high school weight, which was a long time ago. While a few pounds may seem easy to lose, for me it was incredibly difficult to get to that weight. After few weeks with Dennis I'm finally under 170 and still dropping to hit 165 to maintain under 10% body fat. Mental health: I'm no scientist but to me, I think exercising has a direct correlation to mental health. Something about exercising gives one confidence, and energy throughout the day. It's a lifestyle, and when I speak and train with Dennis, he lives up to it. His positive energy is key - he is one of the most laid back, but genuinely funny and kind persons I've known. When its time to train, he is your best coach, support system, friend, and also a comedian. I don't recall laughing much when exercising before but training with Dennis is FUN. Laughing and having fun while executing challenging exercises is priceless in my opinion. Details: I work in an industry that requires a lot of attention to details. I'm expected, and I expect others to do the same, especially in the professional environment. So when Dennis noticed my bad posture while walking, I was pleasantly surprised as I'm terrible at fixing and maintaining a good posture. The interesting thing is that Dennis expanded on what posture is, and what it can imply in terms of physical health, mental health, etc. etc. Again, the results? I've had several people in my office commenting on my height, stating that they didn't realize how tall (I'm not THAT tall, I secretly wish I was 6 ft.) I was. Why did this happen? Because I improved my posture. And continue to improve it. Last thing - cleanliness. Fine, maybe I'm a neat freak and maybe I'm the guy that brings a towel to the gym not to wipe my own sweat but to wipe other person's sweat off a bench. Dennis' gym is FLAWLESSLY clean, even to my standards. I can't really ask more of him other than to just say thanks, and continue to learn, and absorb all that he has to offer as we train together. Thanks Dennis!

I'm mostly exhausted from working a full time job while doing this, which has become another full time job in itself. When I started the journey to find the best rotisserie chicken in the country, there was so much I didn't know: 1) I had no idea people would actually care and be as invested in this series as they are, which is kind of cool. 2) There are more grocery stores selling a hot & ready rotisserie chicken than I ever could have imagined. I have so much work left to do. I ate the $25.99 tissi from Ouri's here at St. Katherine's Park, and it was a nice place to just sit and eat some bird. A couple basketball courts, playgrounds, ample seating, and bathrooms that are in some desperate need of some TLC. It was a vibe. The bird was actually bomb, but charging $25.99 for a rotisserie chicken should be a war crime. I will never buy it again. I'm taking the night train to Boston tonight to try Market Basket, Star Market, Stop & Shop, and a few other grocery stores. I also need to get to Texas, the Midwest, and Southern California before I wrap this journey up. I'm tired, but my momma always told me you don't start something until you finish it.
