Community of Leaders
One of the best things about our November Project Philly crew is that there is a culture around leading together that is actively encouraged among the group. Below are a few of the faces, among the many more we want to highlight, that have taken on leadership roles within the NP Philly community.
Spring is in the air and we are (temporarily) back to doing three workouts here at NP NYC! That means we get to spend even more time with each other every week! How normal does that feel?! With all this extra time we’re spending together, we wanted to lend a reminder of our purpose here. We want to continue to be the community that we love enough to show up to more mornings than we sleep in.
How, when and where were you introduced to November Project?
I actually came to NP a couple times back in 2016 but was really only there for a workout, didn’t meet anyone, and didn’t give the NP community a fair shot. I started consistently showing up in early Fall 2019 as a way to meet new people and feel a part of DC again, as I was living in Arlington at the time and missed DC life.
We’ve worked our bracket down from 32 all the way to the Final 4 in an effort to find the Ultimate NP_WWW move to add to our PR Day! Now the only thing left to do is VOTE!!
We want to know what you think!
From now until March 28th at 11:59pm you can post a picture on Instagram and tag November Project WWW(https://www.instagram.com/novemberprojectwww/) highlighting your favorite of the 4 moves! Maybe its’s doing jumping jacks in front of a gorgeous sunrise, or showing off airport push ups (looking at you NP Boston) or making someone else do some squats or even a gorgeous picture of a bicycle! Get creative!!! There might just be a special prize for the most creative photo.
The four moves to choose from are…
If you missed yesterday’s workout, you missed one hell of an awesome announcement!
It’s that point in time where winter is just hard! But no worries!! We’ve got just the thing to get you through the final push into Spring and that is our Winter Blues Buster Challenge!!!

Things aren’t going according to any plan. What is normal, no longer is stable. There is no status quo. One day we are working out on a Wednesday morning at November Project Amsterdam and the next we are confined within the four corners of our apartments.
Being lonely has become a familiar feeling that we each carry in our own unique way. For some, we wear it heavily as we go through each and every day. Days, weeks, months flow into one another without distinction. Monday’s seem no different than Friday’s. We have gotten used to listening to our own, silent breath on our runs or walks. We scroll through our phones as we sip our coffee or tea without company in the morning. Post-workout Starbucks coffee has become a memory of the past.
Darker mornings, unseasonably warm conditions and more NP fun! October brought us to Trinity Bellwoods Park for the month (except for our Thanksgiving Monday pop-up workout) where we got to make use of all of that wonderful grassy (and sometimes muddy) park space in the west end. With November coming up, we’re happy to let you know that we’ll be heading back to gates 10/11 outside the Rogers Centre for the winter months beginning on Wednesday, Nov. 3. We’ll revisit NP field trips in the spring/summer when it’s light out earlier and we don’t need to worry about snow. Thanks to everybody for their location suggestions. If we didn’t go to a location you suggested, know that we are considering it for 2022.
Rain, mosquitoes, but plenty of fun! Our month of workouts at Riverdale Park East was definitely an adventure and it was fun to workout in a new space. How were those hills? Now that October is around the corner, we’re excited to let you know that we’ll be venturing out to the west end of the city this time to Trinity Bellwoods Park! Our workouts will be at Trinity Bellwoods Park for the month of October, beginning on Wednesday, Oct. 6. We’ll meet at the gates/entrance to the park (near Queen Street and Strachan Avenue).
When I joined NP NYC, I was a Monday person. Morningside was an easy run from my house, so I figured that was the best place to start. But I very quickly fell in love with this community and wanted to be a Wednesday person too. So I started to haul myself across town at that ungodly hour we meet, and yet again, kept falling deeper in love with this crazy bunch of humans until I was like “I guess I’ll become a Friday person too.”
November Project Toronto had a busy August and it looks like there will be more of the same in September! Now that we’ve been back in person for a month, we want to try something new. Beginning at our Labour Day Monday workout on Sept. 6, we’re going to temporarily workout in Riverdale Park East! That’s right, for the rest of September, all of our workouts will be at Riverdale Park East. Meet on the west side of Broadview Ave. just south of Langley Ave. near St. Matthews Clubhouse.
