M.A.X. Fitness Gives Back…And You Can Help!
Thanksgiving 2010, M.A.X. Fitness puts together their Basket Brigade to help local families in need on Thanksgiving.
We are all looking forward to coming to the Thanksgiving table packed with our favorite goodies. For some, that may not happen. Fortunately M.A.X. Fitness members and their families have been raising money for a Basket Brigade to help less fortunate families this Thanksgiving. This Sunday, November 20th, at 2PM, they will be putting together baskets of full Thanksgiving dinners (including the turkey and all the trimmings) to help at least 60 families.

Beat The Heat and Stay In Shape at Sportime NY
It is officially a heat wave. Doing anything outside for more than a few minutes is out of the question. There is only so long you can stay in your (hopefully!) air conditioned home without going crazy. So what to do and where to go?
Try Sportime, the sports and fitness club chain with 13 locations on Long Island, Westchester, Manhattan, and the Capital Region. Here in Nassau, there are locations in Bethpage, Massapequa, Roslyn, and Syosset. Where else can you exercise and have fun in this heat in a climate-controlled area with a wide variety of activities? While many people may think solely of playing tennis at a Sportime club, that is definitely not the case. (more…)
Sunday Fun: Polo At The Park
This past Sunday I attended Polo at the Park at Bethpage State Park. I had never been to a Polo game (as I expect many of us have not) so was not really sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised at the kind staff, beautiful park grounds, and interesting game that followed. At 2 pm every Sunday, the gates open for you to bring a crowd and enjoy an outdoor picnic. Starting at 3, the polo game starts with the announcer introducing the crowd to all the players, and the ball being thrown in for play. Picture hockey, except with the players on horses…on grass…and V.I.P. tents available. Admission is only $5 per person (there is also an $8 parking fee), but upgrades like field-side parking and VIP tents are also available. Looking for something to do before or after the game? Check out our story on Sunny Day To-Dos, which lists more info on the park and activities you can enjoy there.
