Halevy Life Boston Fundraiser Announced for Thursday April 25th 2013

I’m just getting back from an extended trip that started with a visit to Boston the day after the terrible tragedy there. I have some very important updated details for next week’s event (Thursday, 4/25 from 6:30-latewhich is now also a fund-raiser for those affected by the Boston Marathon bombing (my thoughts on the matter HERE).

Firstly, if you are coming, or planning on coming, and have not yet RSVP’d please do so IMMEDIATELY. (RSVP HERE) We are already over capacity, and our hired security will not let you in unless your name is on the list – seriously, period, exclamation mark…no winky face.

Secondly, as I mentioned that this is now a fund-raiser, I simultaneously do not care about being over capacity; I care about raising money for those who need it — as our team brilliantly did with the $5,000+ it raised for Hurricane Sandy victims.  So please INVITE ALL YOUR FRIENDS. Admission will be a $1 donation at the door, but feel free to give more if you so choose. 100% of the money raised will go to:

1) One Boston Fund
onefundboston.org

2) Boston Children’s Hospital
giving.childrenshospital.org/ways-to-help-boston-marathon

3) Mass General Hospital
give.massgeneral.org

Please RSVP NOW by clicking here 

Lastly, yes, we will still be partying and having a good time — and I am excited to celebrate an incredibly rewarding year together! My TV show Workout From Within’s first season still debuts that night, and we will have an exclusive screening for our guests…including a special appearance by the show’s host! (Check out his recent appearance on Good Day Chicago HERE)

Get Lean with Luggage (ABC Segment with Jeff Halevy)

NEW YORK (WABC) — As people try to stay trim this holiday season, fitness expert Jeff Halevy joined us to show how to stay lean with luggage.

Halevy has joined Newark Mayor Cory Booker and First Lady Michelle Obama in the ‘Our Power’ and ‘Let’s Move’ campaigns.

Halevy created Our Power, a technology-based childhood obesity program, when he was chosen to join the First Lady’s childhood obesity campaign, by Mayor Booker, the campaign’s co-chair.

Our Power launched in Newark last year and is expanding nationally in fall 2013.

Halevy Life stayed open to the public despite being closed for business.

It was the first gym in Manhattan to offer up free showers and cell phone charging to those who lost power and hot water.

Jeff and his team are continuing to support Sandy Relief, by donating 100% of sales of the $89 SP personal training starter package (6 sessions) to Sandy Relief. They have raised nearly $5,000 already.

Six Free SP Personal Training Sessions at Halevy Life in Support of Sandy Relief Efforts

For the ENTIRE MONTH OF NOVEMBER, Halevy Life will be donating 100% of the proceeds from the sale of SP New Client Starter Packs (MSRP $89), which gets you SIX SP PERSONAL TRAINING SESSIONS to use over one month. (Scroll down now to sign up!)

Why We MUST Postpone The ING New York City Marathon

The True Face of the 2012 ING NYC Marathon

It would be grossly irresponsible and tasteless to continue with ING New York City Marathon this weekend.

THE START LINE. Let’s start at the start (line): Staten Island. The borough where the marathon commences, which has been hit harder than any other section of New York City, is nothing short of a disaster zone. Many have lost their homes and the damage is unprecedented. Are we to simply look away, so we can comfortably celebrate an athletic event?

RESOURCES. Executing the marathon is a tremendous undertaking by multiple city agencies and the Mayor’s office. With power still out, and with massive clean-up and restoration necessary in large sections of New York City, is this really where resources should be allocated?

TRANSPORTATION.
With gridlock and limited public transportation already crippling the city, is it really the time to start shutting down NYC’s largest and most used thoroughfares?

If you’re like me, the answer is a definitive “NO.” I believe the alternative is to simply hold the Marathon one week later, on November 11th, 2012. A grass roots Twitter hashtag campaign, #NYCM1111, has already been started to garner the attention of Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the Marathon’s organizing body, New York Road Runners.

Watch Public Health Activist Jeff Halevy Live Tonight at 7pm EST Discussing Sandy's Aftermath on CBC

Watch the live CBC Broadcast “The Aftermath of Sandy” at 7pm EST tonight, 11/1/12, here:

From CBC:

“With more than 60 people reported dead and billions of dollars in damage done, post-tropcial cyclone Sandy is being called the most devastating storm to hit the U.S. East Coast in decades.

Thousands are still displaced from their waterlogged homes, and many of the millions who lost power due to the storm are still in the dark.

Officials say that rebuilding the hardest-hit communities could take a very long time, but as sunshine washed over New York City today for the first time in days, rebuilding efforts had already started.

Thursday at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT on CBC Your News Live Online, we’ll be talking to some of those who lived through the storm, are now struggling with the aftermath, and are working to help others who have been affected in whatever ways they can.

Our guests will be joining host Lauren O’Neil via webcam to chat with CBC community members about their experiences with the Frankenstorm. Please join us with your thoughts, opinions and questions.”
