This is my favorite place to be. Seriously, I am so happy I stumbled across this new gym. The…read moremoment I walked in I was given a warm welcome and tour by Carter. This place has everything you need and then some to hit your goals- especially with all new equipment! They have showers, free weights, squat area, treadmills, cycling, rowing machine, and more. They have things I never even used in a gym before. What more do you need? This place is where I come to get away. I feel comfortable and welcomed. I love how there are many familiar faces in the gym, where it feels like I am part of a community and not just some large corporate owned place. That is what I believe is the best part- that it is locally owned by great people and there's nothing better than supporting those around you. I am glad I am apart of this gym and family!

I love Carter and this gym. We've joined and left a bunch of different gyms in Westchester, and…read moreWild Blast is by far the best. All the gear is spotless and hand-picked to give you the options you need without having a million versions of the same thing. Definitely worth checking out.

Traditionally Sundays are for brunch and Bloody Marys. This past Sunday I decided to go Zen and…read moretake a 4PM Gentle Yoga class at Energy Movement Center in downtown Peekskill. It's a small studio with two yoga/workout rooms but has a HUGE community feel. Drop in class are $20 but they offer tons of packages from class cards to full membership. Besides yoga they offer Pilates, tai chi, cardio, personal training and specialized workshops/events. Gentle Yoga @4PM on Sunday is led by Liz Lazo who added a little bit of Zen via starting with meditation (a bit more than breath in/out) before guiding us through the gentle yoga practice. It was a small class just 2 people so she tailored the class to our needs (back/hips). She is excellent but since she's also my cousin I will list her bio not written by me! Liz Lazo has been practicing yoga for over 13 years and has received instruction in Hatha, Iyengar, Kripalu & Vinyasa styles. She earned her 200 Hour Vinyasa Teacher Training certificate through Living Yoga with Liz Schulman and Richard Villella in March 2013. Liz is a registered member of Yoga Alliance. In addition, she attained the First Degree of Reiki through Ginny Mackles in March 2011 and applies the principles to her work as a yoga student and instructor. Related or not she's good enough to get me to give up my Sunday Bloodys!

I was in town in Peekskill just visiting, and thought I'd look for a yoga class. Found this listing on yelp, but webpage link is for something else. Guess I won't be going to yoga then. Not going to waste my time as I've no idea 'where' to go or how to find their website and list of classes....

The employee at the counter, named Rafael, did not greet me or offer any help when I approached -- he was just standing there and seemed unsure of what to do when I asked for assistance. Thankfully, another staff member stepped in and was able to help me with my membership. However, this was my first visit, and it left me with a very poor first impression. I truly hope the level of service improves over time, as I would like to continue coming here.

They work with you individually to learn the workouts. They modify the workouts to allow you to not feel overwhelmed with all the new exercises. I've never really done much with free weights so I had (have) a lot to learn and the coaches make it a pleasure. The place is not fancy by any stretch but if you want to get in shape check it out!!!! Plus from what I hear this place is cheaper then most cross fit gyms around.

When I decided to try out Crossfit 5-6 months ago, I went on feel. Two gyms within 5 miles, go with the one you feel at home at. EJ did that from the very first day. Crossfit is an amazing workout that challenges you at different levels every day, what makes the North so amazing is the coaching and the sense of belonging to a greater family. No judgements, no nothing. Whether you are currently fit or just trying to start, the coaches will modify the workouts to what you can do. There are no excuses...

She taught me so much about the right kinds of foods to eat for my goals -- definitely NOT a "one-diet-fits-all" approach. She listened to my needs and desires and helped me customize a workout and menu that fits my lifestyle. Thanks to Karen, I'm in better shape then I ever thought I would be! She also used Reiki while helping me stretch out one problem shoulder I had. It was amazing, so I also had a few Reiki treatments from her. Karen has a terrific intuitive knowledge of what an individual person (and body) needs, and her no-nonsense (but compassionate) approach is perfect. So glad I met her and worked with her!
