JCC Manhattan’s Annual New Year’s Day Fitness For Everybody

By the time January 1 rolls around, we’ve either forgotten all about our pledge to get healthy or have come up with an excuse to put off a visit to the gym until, oh, March. Neither of those excuses will fly at this day of free exercise classes meant to get you excited about getting in shape. Held via Zoom, NYU professor Wendy A. Suzuki, Ph.D., will kick off the day with “Exercise, Mental Health, and the Brain,” and workshops to improve your posture, mind/body workouts such as yoga and nutrition. The day will close with Dani Menkin, director of Aulcie, a film about Aulcie Perry, who became one of Israel's biggest basketball stars. The Q&A will be joined by Producers Jon Weinbach (The Last Dance) & Nancy Spielberg. In addition to the day-long festivities, the JCC is offering $200 off their health club memberships and $100 off the pool membership.
