I LOVE tennis!!  My relationship with running is a bit more complicated.  It's more of a love/hate type thing.  I love the energy and excitement of races, but I hate running alone.  So I figured, why not start a Queens Tennis meetup that incorporates warm up and short distance runs before we play tennis.  Two of my favorite parks are Astoria Park and Flushing Meadows/Corona Park, so I will be alternating the meetups between these two parks.  Both are great for running and tennis. The purpose of …

I think that Astoria is the best place in the world to get and stay fit! Using Astoria Park and the surrounding playgrounds, we will have classes and workouts that range from kickboxing, to core and ab mat workouts to boot camps. Why join a gym? All that you need to get fit and have fun doing it is RIGHT HERE at the park! I'm a top fitness instructor and trainer for New York Sports Clubs and an Astoria resident who loves to help people reach their fitness goals. Let's do this!

This group is based in Queens, NY. More specifically - Middle Village.  Most of the runs will be in around this area or Astoria Park, but we will venture to other Queens neighborhood parks and occasionally into Central Park. "Believe that you can run farther or faster. Believe that you're young enough, old enough, strong enough, and so on to accomplish everything you want to do. Don't let worn-out beliefs stop you from moving beyond yourself." ~John Bingham   A bit about the organizer: I started …

I would like to put on a fun tennis meetup every month for beginners and advanced players to meet and play against one another.  I know it's hard to find courts in the city so hopefully with my resources I can find a few and we can have a bunch of tennis socials before the fall comes!

Do you live in Long Island City? Are you in your mid-late 20s or early 30s? Are you interested in meeting others who live in the neighborhood? Then you should join this group! I'm looking to make this a group mostly for people out of college but not necessarily "settled down"/starting a family already (it seems like 90% of the people in my building are already married with kids). I live by the waterfront/Gantry Park off the Vernon/Jackson stop, but people from other areas of LIC, and even Astori …

This group is strictly (and, I cannot emphasize this enough, strictly) for single people age 25-39 who live in Manhattan. (NOTE: NJ is NOT Manhattan!) I created this group because, like many single professionals who live and work in the greatest city in the world, i am sick of meeting people at "Manhattan" events who live in Hoboken, Bushwick, White Plains, Long Island, Astoria, etc.  We know you "just don't understand" why we aren't interested in commuting to the outer boroughs, NJ or upstate N …
