Francisco had a clipping from last Wednesday’s Metro newspaper that was about TimeLabsNY, a SuperSlow facility in Hell’s Kitchen (it used to be in the Financial District but was moved).
The first thing that I thought to myself was, “This is in the same newspaper that featured the ‘Tire-flipping-as-exercise-modality’ facility just two weeks ago. Good.”
The second thing was that I hadn’t heard of TimeLabsNY since it was featured in a 2003 Outside magazine article about SuperSlow. Glad it’s still in the media eye.
The third thing I thought was that Ryan (Ramnarine, the owner of TimeLabsNY) looked a lot less beefy in the newspaper photo than on his website. I wonder if it was an intentional plot by the high-volume exercise extremists to make all SuperSlow guys look puny in the media?
Just kidding about that last one, BTW.
I’m quite excited that TimeLabsNY is still around. As far as I know, that makes a grand total of 4 exclusively SuperSlow/slow-training facilities in NYC (Fred’s, Adam’s, Lou’s, and Ryan’s) – all owned by different individuals and in competition with one another – and surviving in this oversaturated fitness market. Hallelujah for capitalism and the free market.
