November Project NYC is proud to bring free fitness and plenty of sweaty high-fives to the Big Apple! Our workouts—great for strength and cross training—combine HIIT and bodyweight exercises with running or walking, scalable to your fitness level. You can find us every Wednesday morning, 6:28am, in the heart of Central Park at Bethesda Terrace. We also use the entire city as our playground for rotating First Friday workouts (1st Friday of the month, 6:28am).
Everyone is welcome at NP NYC —from seasoned athletes to newbies—regardless of age, fitness level, background or identity. Our free outdoor workouts take place rain or shine (#weatherproof!), are always modifiable, and often come with a side of shenanigans. Check out this post for an easy orientation. Hope to see you soon!
WEDNESDAYS: Bethesda Fountain (Central Park) at 6:28 a.m.
FIRST FRIDAYS: First Friday of the month in rotating locations at 6:28 a.m (check our socials or our calendar)

I live in Suffolk County. Is there a movement starting there, or Nassau County?
Thank You
Sounds like there needs to be a NP “Long Island” or “NYEast” or “Southeast NYC.” I bet there are a lot of people for whom that would work. I’d be there whenever I’m home visiting.
#NPLI #NPNYE #NPSENYC ????
Yes. I agree
YAAAAASSSSSS!!!! I would mid-Nassau or mid-Suffolk! I live in Dix Hills!
CAN WE DO THIS?! FOR REAL. I live in western Suffolk but I would drive myself to anywhere within a 30 min ride.
I live and work in Brooklyn…I would LOVE For there to be a NP here!
Please let me know when there is!
Hi Colleen,
Brooklyn has one: https://november-project.com/brooklyn-ny/ and they’re awesome!
if you find out please let me know Janice Lester janicelester45@yahoo.com
I’d love, love, love to see this come to Pelham Bay Park in The Bronx.
How can I find out Friday location? It doesn’t seem to be listed on twitter Facebook insyagram or blog. Thxs!
Anyone near the Cross Island in Queens?? Crocheron Park?
On my way to work
What about Hudson Valley? I am 30 min from West Point, Vassar College, MSMC, Marist , Renegades Stadium…
Can someone start November Project in Queens? Alley Pond park or Cunningham?
do you guys ever meet later in the day or on weekends? Would love to join but hate waking up so early! 🙂
Is this a running group or a workout group which runs sometimes? I’m confused. Thanks
Do you ever have meet ups uptown, around Washington Heights?
Hi,
Sorry it has taken a while to get back to you, we have just gone through a leadership change, and are still everything out. We are making an effort to get more uptown locations into the mix. We are having at least 1 Friday location uptown per month (Uptown being above the park, in the Bronx, or in Queens). Keep an eye on us on social media to see workout locations, a calendar is dropping soon that will have all locations for the month. Hope this helps, again, sorry for the delay.
Thanks,
Rob
Thank you! Van Cortlandt Park would be happy to have you!
Who do I get in touch with about getting this started in Brooklyn or south Manhattan? Uptown seems to be inconvenient for a lot of people that early. Can one of the “coaches” email me please?
NP has come to Brooklyn. Check out @kingscountyfitclub on Instagram. They meet every Wednesday in Fort Greene Park.
Who do I speak to about getting one started in Brooklyn or lower Manhattan? Uptown is inconvenient for a lot of people that early. Can one of the “coaches” email me? Would love to chat and figure something out.
Hi Alex,
Sorry for the delay. Check out Kings County Fit Club (if you haven’t already), they are an NP pledge. We also have Monday workouts on the Williamsburg Bridge On Mondays, and venture downtown often on Fridays. Keep an eye on Social Media for the loactions, and we are dropping a calendar soon that will give everyone the locations for the month.
does anyone stay at the start location with runner’s bags? how can I bring my work clothes with me and not run with a bag…
Hi Marissa,
There is someone around the bags at all times. We hope to see you soon!
I saw there’s a running event at bear mountain. Is it too late to register ? Where can I find out more ?
Thank you
How long is the class @6:28am on UES and format
Could you please refrain from jumping up and down on the park benches. Besides the annoyance of having the bench you’re sitting on continually jarred, placing your dirty feet on benches people sit on is rather rude. Furthermore I don’t think the benches were designed with the intention of people constantly jumping up and down on them, I would hate for to see one break and possibly injure someone. Maybe if you plan on having such large group from fitness classes you should look at investing in your own space with proper workout equipment instead of relying on the public park system. Thank you
I haven’t started doing this because I just found out about it, but I am very supportive. The idea is for this to be accessible. If they were to get their own space they’d have to charge a significant amount for it. The jumping on the benches might be to do box jumps. Using existing equipment to do them is brilliant. Have you tried this? Before you criticize it think you should do so and see how much more invigorated you feel afterwards. I’m sure they’d welcome your participation. Regardless, do wish you the best of luck on your fitness journey.
Hello NP NYC, my wife and I are from Edmonton will be visiting your tribe on Dec 13th and hopefully the Dec 15th workout depending on how our flights work out. I was wondering if you can do a special tagging session for us at the 13th workout?
Hi there!! Was reading the comments on this page and noticed there’s some talk of a Hudson valley NP. There’s a big running community in lower Hudson, Yonkers, New Rochelle, etc. Any chance of starting a tribe around westchester?
Bari,
Always a chance of starting a tribe. Just need the people to take the step forward and do it. On another page “How to….?” it goes into it. There is a pledging process before you are brought on as a new tribe.
I am looking for a ride to the workout Monday morning. pick up at fort Greene park in Brooklyn. any takers??
Hi David, so very few people have cars making it tricky, BUT you can the B or D train (Manhattan Bound) from the Dekalb station you can go to either 110 (B) or 125 (D) and run down (less than a mile). Let us know if you have any other questions.
Hi NPers
I’ve lived in Boston for the last 20 years and just moved back to my hometown of Staten Island where they are in desperate need of a free movement outlet. I loved the Boston tribe and am amped to getting something started on SI. Email me and let’s chat it up.
Bobby,
I shot you an email last week, let me know if you want to chat.
Did anyone ever start one in Nassau or Suffolk?
Please let me know if you hear of one starting!! 🙂
Is there a movement in the Bronx?
I would be interested in starting one in Nassau County. I usually exercise outside in the mornings anyway and have a few good locations in mind. Not sure how we’d go about formally setting it up though.
Hey Mary, Rob (and Kevin, not sure if we’ve met before but nice to meet you).
It’s Jorgen from Canada, you may remember I brought Lee-Ann to NYC on a surprise trip last December and Mary & Rob took us to Tal’s Bagels. I am taking Lee-Ann to NYC again from Sunday-Tuesday (Tomorrow) and we are going to make it to the Monday morning work out. I don’t think Lee-Ann will want to get a tag as well we got one last year but in case she does would you be able to bring the Tag?
Looking forward to seeing you and the Workout on Monday.
I live in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York, as well. Any plans to add that area?
Project movement is a great idea for those who want a physical fitness body.
