Team Eevee, now with personality.

Trainer had to convince the photo guy to let them have the whole team out, but they were well behaved for the photo.

Left to right: Aina, Akihiko, Gage, Flatiron, Swampman, and Haru. I love them as thought they were real. I feel so bad when one faints.

Yes, Sylveon is actually that small, and Umbreon and Vaporeon are actually that big (those two are alphas, Sylveon was just small in the first place)

I have emotional investment in this crew.

Small Business Spotlight Series: Best Boutique Wellness Studios in the NY Metro Area

Spring has officially arrived and with the change in weather often comes a newfound surge of energy, and opportunity for renewal. New York is arguably the capital of health start-ups that cater to self-improvement, and mental health is equally as important to physical health. In addition to the ever-growing fitness scene, wellness studios, which focus on mindfulness, meditation and well-being are popping up all over the city. We like to think of them as gyms for the soul. 

No one knows this city better than our very own agents, so we asked them to tell us about their favorite wellness studios and spaces in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. While these small businesses offer an array of services, they all provide peaceful and energizing respites from our agents’ busy lives. 

WOOM Center The Bowery, NYC

A studio that specializes in multi-sensory meditation, the WOOM Center is particularly popular for its sound vibration therapy. After a relaxing sound bath, you can head to the café for nourishing juices and superfood products.

Recommended by Katie Thurber of our Park Avenue office

Powerflow Yoga Hoboken & Jersey City, NJ

Recommended by Maria Oblow of our Hoboken office

Recommended by Deb Miller of our Harlem office

Kinespirit Riverside, NYC

Amelia Gewirtz has tried all the gyms on the Upper West Side, but her favorite is Kinespirit, a Gyrotonic and Pilates studio. Gyrotonic uses weight and pulley-based equipment and draws on the principles of yoga, swimming, and dance. Most of the trainers at Kinespirit are dancers, in fact. “It’s very low-impact,” Amelia says. “If I am consistent, my waistline shrinks and my back feels good.” She has had aches that doctors could not fix, but which the trainers at Kinespirit were able to relieve by recommending the right stretches.

Recommended by Amelia Gewirtz of our West Side office

Why working out with your girl squad is key to chasing your dreams in 2018

You depend on your BFF to obtain you via hard breaks up and also to provide you her favored t-shirt when you have absolutely nothing to wear-- so when you've obtained objectives, you know she's got your back.

The pros concur: Sweating with your squad actually is the trick to making certain your physical fitness resolutions stick-- whatever your desires might be.

' Functioning out with close friends keeps you liable, as well as it gives you a different social factor to hang out,' claimed Charlee Atkins, maker of buzzy workout Le Sweat and also its recuperation equivalent Le Stretch. 'Shared experiences can frequently be extra enjoyable than solo ones.' And also that doesn't intend to add more fun to their exercise routine?

Well+ Excellent viewers placed the suggestion to the test at our sold-out Up For Anything exercise (led by (Re) New Year instructors Atkins and also Mile High Run Club trainer Jess Movold) where they jumped, lunged, and squatted at Athleta's New York City Flatiron studio in celebration of lady power and also a new year of being up for, well, anything.

And if working out with close friends isn't motivation sufficient, a brand-new pair of leggings always assists-- which is why workout-goers got dibs on scoring the brand-new Athleta Up For Anything Leggings (the mega-versatile legging that's made to carry you with any kind of workout your BFF-- that's finest fit pal-- might attempt you to attempt).

Scroll down for proof that sweating with each other is constantly far better-- as well as to see what dropped behind the scenes at our NYC workout.

The instructors were all grins pre-workout, however the sweat sesh they had intended was intense. Following 30 mins of Le Sweat-inspired cardio, Movold wrapped things up with half an hour of stamina training steps. (AKA there were a number of records of really sore legs the following day-- and likewise endorphin-charged, post-workout hugs).

Atkins extended it out prior to things got going in true Le Stretch style, which teaches the importance of preventative healing for regular workout-goers. (Foam rolling not optional.)

Hydration came courtesy of Circulation Water, the buzzy alkaline water that's filled with electrolytes to aid boost athletic recuperation. Attendees even got VIP accessibility to the Canadian brand name's warm new tastes (cucumber mint and lemon ginger) at the first stateside tasting.

Atkins got every person (really) heated up with abdominal deal with the mats-- but just after the team finished numerous collections of jump bows, fast footwork, and brief sprints around the room.

As a coach at Mile High Run Club as well as devoted marathoner (informal), Movold is a firm believer in cross-training instead of staying with running all day each day. Her routine bundled relocations like weighted squats, side lunges, and standing equilibrium strategies to involve the core.

Smiling because the hard component mored than, or because 3 of them will win a free set of Up For Anything Tights?

Post-workout gas was doled out by Totally Elizabeth granola (what up, chocolate as well as cashew coconut), which visitors nibbled on while they waited for the outcomes of the drawing for 3 sets of leggings and 3 Athleta gift cards (Also Known As certificate to get involved in the activewear purchasing spree of their desires).

Then came the truly fun part. Visitors appreciated an exclusive discount rate to shop the flooring of the Fifth Opportunity Athleta store. Due to the fact that when you exercise that hard, you earn that new pair of leggings.

Readers stashed their haul in Well+ Good carry bags, obviously, which provided a takeaway tip of their girl-power fueled day. 'It's constantly great to kick some butt as well as damage a sweat with a group of amazing females,' Atkins stated. Amen to that.

In partnership with Athleta

I remember when I first became an independent trainer. There were tons of hurdles to jump over. Continuing education, insurance, doing your own taxes. However, the most challenging thing about this change wasn’t the unforeseen paperwork. It was getting over my past issues with success. Luckily I had great mentors and coaches at that time. They were visionaries of the game and helped me change my perspective of myself in order to be the best trainer I could be. As I passed that knowledge on to other trainers in the business I saw the same struggle within them. The trainers that could visualize a future that was different from their past were successful. The trainers that let their previous experiences shape the perspective of their potential were inevitably confined by it. Use your past to as a scrapbook of times you have risen to the occasion. Remind yourself of the moments where you have found inner resources and overcome adversity. They are the perfect materials to construct the foundation of your future self. #strotherpt #personaltraining #thefutureisnotwritten #wellness #growth #newyorkcity #lowereastside #flatiron (at Strother Personal Training) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwW9cYkBrOv/?igshid=1rw6k47d29b8a

[strotherpt]

This is a results based business. If you can’t get your clients what they want and get it fast they will walk. Especially if you work in NYC where are a million people that do what you do (for a lot cheaper) So it’s really easy to get caught up in how much you have produced and achieved. The money you’ve made (and hopefully saved) and your clients results. A great trainer feels personally responsible for each of the people they train. So when they aren’t motivated, won’t try their best in a session or eat poorly we take it to the heart. It’s important to remember that the resources necessary to get through to the people you work with have to come from and be measured within yourself. You can NEVER use external metrics to determine your success. Especially when it comes to someone else’s breakthrough. It will happen on their time. Not yours. It will happen their way. Not yours. You are making a difference to the people around you. It may not be as fast as we would like sometimes but if we truly listen to what our people need we will never come up short. This is a collaborative effort and you are only part of (infinitely complex) an equation. 🤓 #strotherpt #personaltraining #personaldevelopment #patience #allindotime #teamwork #newyork #lowereastside #flatiron (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuJ7FWzBJu4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xtk6ajkmahav

New Post has been published on http://www.lifehacker.guru/im-emmanuel-schalit-ceo-of-dashlane-and-this-is-how-i-work/

I'm Emmanuel Schalit, CEO of Dashlane, and This Is How I Work

There seems to be a new hack, leak, or security exploit discovered every day, and only one piece of advice really remains consistent on how to protect yourself: Use a password manager. The most secure password is one that you don’t know yourself.

Dashlane has been protecting and managing passwords since 2012, led by Emmanuel Schalit. Back then he promised his staff that he’d get a tattoo—his first—when they reached a million users. Sure enough, he sat down in a tattoo parlor chair about a year later for his commemorative tat, a simple “1m”. He’s also worked for CBS, Vivendi Universal Games (now called Activision Blizzard), and has a background in computer science. We caught up with Schalit to learn a little about how he works.

Location: New York City, Flatiron District Current Gig: Dashlane CEO One word that best describes how you work: Fast Current mobile device: iPhone 7 Plus Current computer: Microsoft Surface Book, best laptop ever built

First of all, tell me a little about your background and how you got to where you are today.

By chance.

I started my career with a PhD in computer science that focused on navigation algorithms for Mars exploration rovers. I spent a few years as a software engineer and then found my way into management of larger and larger teams, until one day at the age of 37 I found myself running a 10,000-person division in a large media conglomerate. There I realized I preferred smaller companies where I could be closer to the other members of the team, the customers and the product. All of this happened because I was fortunate to cross paths with the right people at the right time in my life so yes, mostly by chance.

What apps, software, or tools can’t you live without?

Beyond the obvious ones everybody uses today (Twitter, Dashlane, LinkedIn, Uber, Slack…):

Way of Life: The path to self-discipline.

Lenka: A gorgeous B&W photo App.

TrainingPeaks: To track training progress and avoid overtraining.

Robin: Best meeting room management software for your office.

What’s your workspace setup like? Coffee shop with laptop and headphones? Home office with a standing desk?

A standing desk from ErgoDesktop, that moves up and down manually, with a dual monitor setup. Cheaper alternative than full electric motion standup desks. And a Philips goLITE blue light that I turn on in the morning to compensate for daylight deficit, very important if you want to sleep well at night.

What’s your best time-saving shortcut or life hack?

Automation today is still very disappointing. The best receipt to save time remains the simplest one: decide what you are not going to do.

What’s your favorite to-do list manager?

Believe it or not I built my own task management framework (for me and my EA) in Jira using a Kanban board with a flow that somewhat replicates the flow of Asana. I like the notion of New, Later, Upcoming, and Today that came from Asana when I think about a simple prioritization framework. And using Jira makes it interoperable with the many things at Dashlane that are done using Atlassian’s tools (like Confluence).

Besides your phone and computer, what gadget can’t you live without and why?

Cameras. I am a photography enthusiast, I often carry one or more cameras with me at all times. With something like the new Sony RX100 V you have a camera that is small enough to fit in a small pocket and yet has the speed and the image quality of a good DSLR from not that long ago.

What everyday thing are you better at than everyone else? What’s your secret?

Trying new things, living a fuller life.

What do you listen to while you work?

KCRW Eclectic 24… or Glen Gould Playing Bach (Goldberg Variations, English Suites, Toccatas, French Suites…). Any music can be sublime.

What are you currently reading? Or what might you recommend?

Dereliction of Duty by General H. R. Mc McMaster. McMaster was just appointed as the as National Security Adviser by the current U.S. president, with bipartisan support, and he is sometimes referred to as “one of the adults in the room.” This history book is his PhD dissertation which talks about how the chain of command broke down between the White House and the military commanders during the Vietnam War so you can understand why one would be curious to know what the new National Security Advisor thinks about how that chain of command should work, given the troubled times we are going through right now.

How do you recharge? What do you do when you want to forget about work?

Two things: Exercise, exercise, and exercise more. I was into running a lot (easy near Central Park) but my knees could not take it any more so I moved to cycling. Now I can even cycle during the winter using an indoor trainer with programs like Zwift and TrainerRoad, so you can see me on my bike at 5AM in the morning recharging for the day.

Family. My wife and I are fortunate to have two young children (our son is 7 and our daughter is 2 months old). They are both a constant source of surprise and energy and they will not allow us to get old or get bored.

What’s your sleep routine like? Are you a night owl or early-riser?

I have learnt from a great sleep researcher called Dan Pardi that sleep deficit accumulates day after day and has been linked to things like likelihood of cancer or neurodegenerative disease. And since I wake up at 5AM to exercise on most days, I do not really have a choice and I go to bed early and try to fall asleep around 10pm. And by the way, having kids is great for sleep discipline because they will not allow staying in bed in the morning no matter what!

To wake up, I use the silent alarm on my Fitbit so I do not wake up my wife, son or daughter. But in an ideal world, with good sleep discipline, you do not need an alarm clock.

Fill in the blank: I’d love to see _______ answer these same questions.

Barack Obama. Probably has some free time now.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

Take any advice you receive with a grain of salt. Every situation is different. So any advice you receive is only partly applicable. And it is your ability to recognize patterns as well as differences that allows you to listen to advice with an open but critical ear.

Is there anything else you’d like to add that might be interesting to readers and fans?

Hack your life ‘cause you only got one and you’d better make the most of it.

This interview has been lightly edited for clarity. The How I Work series asks heroes, experts, and flat-out productive people to share their shortcuts, workspaces, routines, and more. Have someone you want to see featured, or questions you think we should ask? Email Andy.

The architectural design uses curves and glass to create movement as well as spacious condo units. Flatiron Brickell has an amazing list of spectacular amenities that transform this condo building into resort style luxury living. The public spaces in this high rise were designed by the Italian architect Massimo Iosa Ghini which continues the sleek glass walls and curved lines seen on the outside. This design was chosen for its ability to showcase movement and provides an upscale design throughout.
