SPONSORED: Read This If You Should Be At The Gym Right Now

We here at Mediaite value fitness. In fact, every Friday afternoon, our publisher, Dan Abrams, makes us do 50 pushups to make sure we’re in prime blogging condition.

Alas, our pushups have left us with lackluster results (our pecs are rock solid! Our abs… not so much). To get better results on your path to super fitness, check out Equinox. And if motivation is an issue, check out some testimonials from their members:

“I basically had to start from scratch. Eleven years ago, I was in a small plane that crashed. Both the pilot and his daughter and my best friend died. The doctors said I only had a 50/50 chance to survive. 30% of my body was burned and my neck was broken in two places. I was in the hospital ICU unconscious for 30 days, I had multiple skin graft surgeries and then after I fell while trying to learn how to walk I was put in a halo—a ring that is bolted to your skull to stabilize your neck.  I had to learn how to walk again, how to brush my teeth again—you name it. The best part of my recovery was going to Equinox, because I could see improvements every day. Eventually, I was able to compete in the Ford Ironman World Championships Triathlon. A theme of Ironman is ‘proving the impossible possible,’ and that is really what my recovery/story is all about.”

Bam! Motivation rekindled; we feel like Rocky! But if you’re still in need of some mojo, get to the Equinox site for more inspiring stories. And if you’re like us and feel like you could knock out Apollo Creed, then sign up here for your free three day trial membership to Equinox. Everyone has a story. Start yours at Equinox today.
