Soho and the surrounding area is a mecca for health and wellness. Did you know we have over 40 fitness studios in the area?

The owner of Current is Josh Ozeri, who was also […]

Strengthen Lengthen Tone (SLT) at 132 Crosby Street in SoHo has become one of my favorite boutique gyms. Most importantly because the workouts leave my body sore for three days after! I recommend SLT to every person I meet (they don’t need the word of mouth but I still give it). The founder, Amanda Freeman, […]
