Behind_the_Book — Tue, 10 Mar 2015 09:26:11 +0000

Join Team Behind the Book on Sunday, March 29th for our first annual 5k Run/Walk in Prospect Park! The funds we raise will go to our literacy programs, directly benefiting the NYC public school students we work with. Walkers, runners, and the differently-abled are all encouraged to participate.

You can register right now at www.generositybrooklyn.com/btb. The Generosity Series (www.genevents.com), which runs the event, provides all the tools you need to meet your fundraising goal, including your own webpage, sample e-mails, and more.

Please note that if you want to raise money for Behind the Book by reaching out to others, you should register as a "team." Your team consists of those people who donate to your effort to reach your goal. If you prefer to pay the goal amount yourself, sign up as an individual.

Date: Sunday, March 29th, 2015

Time: 7:30 AM for bib and t-shirt pickup. The race begins at 9:00 AM.

Place: Prospect Park. Enter near the Peristyle on Parkside Avenue, just past Parade Place.

How it works: Register for the race at www.generositybrooklyn.com/btb. (Again, if you plan to ask others to donate, sign up as a team. If you want to pay the $200 fee yourself, register as an individual.)

Cost: Participants commit to raising or donating at least $200. There's also a $20 registration fee per participant.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE: The registration site states that if you do not raise $200 by the event date, your credit card will be charged the difference between $200 and the amount you've raised. While you're required to check a box confirming your agreement to this to continue with registration, Behind the Book WILL NOT charge your credit card under these circumstances.

Please remember, though, that Behind the Book pays $100 per participant, so please make every effort to raise and/or contribute AT LEAST $200. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Amy Berg, our Director of Development, at amy@behindthebook.org.

Example: Jane registers as a team at www.generositybrooklyn.com/btb. Using her fundraising page, she recruits 10 of her co-workers to donate $10 each. Then she sends a sample email to her friends and family. Her brother donates $50, and three of her nephews each donate $5. She also posts links to her fundraising page on Facebook and Instagram, raising $35 from her college roommates. Voilà! Jane has raised $200 for Behind the Book!

Please register today, and start limbering up to run/walk/roll with us on March 29th!

If you have questions or need help with registration, email Amy Berg at amy@behindthebook.org.

Veteran Personal Trainer moving her 8 year NYC business exclusively to Brooklyn wants to train YOU

movewithmo — Sun, 16 Nov 2014 16:29:50 +0000

I'm excited to announce I'm moving my training exclusively to the DUMBO and downtown Brooklyn areas. I've spent the past decade as a top-tier trainer at the most elite commercial gyms in Manhattan, and I'm now able to offer the same training at a discount at my own facilities or yours. Have a gym? Great, I'll come to you. No? I have several locations available in the Brooklyn Heights area. More than I love people with fitness goals, I love getting you results. I have a lot of experience with achieving weight loss goals, working with athletes, managing pre-/post-natal care and aiding injury recovery and body composition goals. Have a big event coming up? We'll get you looking better than you thought possible.

Pick-Up Soccer Games

limestonekid — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 10:58:13 +0000

I know that there are a few places in town where folks get together to play some informal, small-sided games of soccer.

I've seen games going on in Ft. Greene Park, McLaughlin Park, Prospect Park and I think there are some that even take place on the grounds of the Brooklyn War Memorial.

Does anyone know of how frequently the games are played or at what time folks generally get together?

I'm looking to get in a wee bit of training prior to an indoor tournament.

Has anyone ever bought/used one of these fitness coupon books?

http://www.health-fitness.org/ny.html

I recently canceled my NYSC membership but something like this could be a fun way to sample different classes (and scope out a new gym, for when $$ starts rolling in again). If you have to endure a hard sell after each visit, though, it's not worth it IMHO.

I realize these places participate mainly to build their membership, and I respect that...but, still. I'm okay with email newsletters/promotions; just don't guilt me into sitting down with a pushy, anxious salesperson.

seeking bike advice

lnelson — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 01:34:21 +0000

I'm looking for a bike for general tooling around on paved roads, nothing fancy needed. I just don't want it to be a piece of garbage. Definitely needs to have multiple gears and handbrakes, but other than than I'm not too picky.

I'm not living in Brooklyn (sigh) or in any place where Craigslist would be of help. Can anyone suggest a brand or location (such as dog box store) or specs or anything I should be looking for?

Danke!
