FITNESS REDEFINED

Charles Darwin defined fitness as an organismโ€™s ability to successfully pass its genes onto the next generation.

Fitness is specific to each person, plant, animal, bacteria, etc. and how successfully they navigate their environment.

Darwinโ€™s definition is context dependent. The chimpanzee is an excellent ape, but it would be a terrible fish.

What is your context? Are you a professional or a professional athlete? Professional athletes are paid for their physical work. Professionals are paid for their mental work.

At NYLO, we use an opportunity cost framework to take into account:

Who you are. Where you are physically. And the complexity that comes with a full and constantly changing schedule.

The average American spends 7 hours sleeping and 10 hours working. That leaves only 7 hours per day for: errands, social obligations, bodily functions, and maybe a hobby. As a society we are generally pressed for time, and nowhere more than the heart of the city that never sleeps.

design your environment

We take a comprehensive look at who you are: physically, psychologically, and socially and use the concepts from behavioral economics and evolutionary psychology to design the most optimal and efficient: physical practice, nutrition strategy, and lifestyle environment to allow you to create YOUR fitness.
