“A class at the gym is to November Project what riding in the back of taxi is to space travel. There is nothing in the world of fitness, motivation, and sheer energy that compares to showing up at 6:00 a.m. with hundreds of screaming people ready to train in the cold, rain, snow, ice, sun, heat, and beauty of a city that is still asleep.”  Casey Neistat, filmmaker, tech entrepreneur, and 3:02 marathoner.
We’re excited to host the November Project at the Terminal. Stay tuned and mark this down on your calendar as a can’t-miss event for the fall!
