Winter Workout Crawl: a Wrap-up

The inaugural Downtown Brooklyn Winter Workout Crawl has officially come to a close, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the incredible turnout! Over 100 participants embraced the challenge of exploring Downtown Brooklyn’s diverse fitness scene – visiting six premier studios—[SOLIDCORE], Hot 8 Yoga, BODYROK, CKO Kickboxing, Tangerine Yoga, and SoulCycle—breaking out of their routine to stay strong through the winter months. 

Meet Our Winners 

GOLD: Alexa Jaffe

Alexa dominated the challenge, visiting multiple studios to earn her $200 lululemon gift certificate. She shared: “It was great to participate in the Downtown Brooklyn Winter Workout Crawl, and I’m so glad this program kept me accountable during the busy holiday season. It gave me the opportunity to try new workout studios, and I even got a membership to hot8yoga after completing the challenge.” 

SILVER: Amy Sorto 

Amy completed 9 workouts to claim her $100 gift certificate to the acclaimed Gage & Tollner restaurant. She reflected on her experience: “The Winter Workout Crawl was a fun way to try out some local spots before the holidays. I regularly take Pilates classes, so it was nice to challenge myself to take more classes at BODYROK. My favorite class was a restorative yoga class at Tangerine Yoga – it was so relaxing and they are so welcoming!” 

BRONZE: Frances Padua 

Frances earned a $50 gift card to Sound + Fury Brewery and Kitchen. She said: “Loved that the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership organized the winter workout crawl. It was a fun challenge and got me to try out new fitness studios in the area. Even ran into people at the studios that were also doing it. Now with my reward, I get to try a new restaurant in the area too!” 

We were thrilled to organize this initiative and showcase the outstanding fitness businesses that help make Downtown Brooklyn a place that has something for everyone. Thank you to the participating studios and everyone who took on the challenge. Here’s to supporting more local businesses and keeping our community active in the year ahead!
