Where are my favorite places to workout and where do I shop for stylish fitness gear in NYC?

I get asked this question a lot by New York visitors and locals. From my experience, most out-of-towners like to check out the popular spots that have been written up or featured on tv.

MizzFIT's TOP 5 Off The Beaten Path Fitness Finds in New York City

1. Sixth Street Pilates studio - 525 East 6th Street NYC, 212-677-5545

How I rolled in style for NY Fashion Week

I started off my day with a fitness fashion shoot in the West Village. I wanted to show MizzFIT readers and followers how you can push the limits of fitness fashion. Yes, I dress this way to rollerskate and yes, my West Village neighborhood in downtown Manhattan is used to it. I like to think that I inspire them and I do enjoy a giggle here and there from...

Even babies love fitness fashion. I think...

I went to Dallas to spread the word on Lady Foot Locker's new look and share my best advice for styling up for fitness. Even though the city was crawling with West Nile virus and being spray-bombed, we managed to fight off the deadly mosquitoes and bring great fitness fashion to the women of Dallas. But YOU, my readers, are always top of my mind, so I'm giving away this $100 Lady Foot Locker shopping card!

For the GIVEAWAY, all you have to do is:

Check out my pics from Dallas and tell me which Fit Look or Fit Trend you like best from the fashion show we put on. Easy peasy, right? The winner will be announced on Sept 6th so stay tuned.

The Fashionably Fit event in Dallas at NorthPark Center was a totally new and fun experience for me.

I've never done a panel discussion and meet & greet in a mall. I can't remember the last time I was in a mall before this event! As a New York City girl, I miss out on malls....
