Acupuncture can help you adjust your body’s expectations and stay focused on your new healthy lifestyle choices, physically and emotionally.

Chalk Gyms, one free month
If you’ve ever avoided the gym out of fear of grunty weightlifter cliques or super yogis who can bend themselves into pretzels in the time it takes you to touch your toes, you’ll find sweaty refuge at Chalk, a friendly new gym in Williamsburg. Owner Michael Losardo has created a light, bright, welcoming workout haven full of the newest and best cardio and weight equipment, in a lofty space full of windows–even if it’s too cold to exercise outdoors, with a Chalk membership you’ll at least see sunlight while toiling on the treadmill. Classes are held in a spacious studio with brick walls and hardwood floors and the class schedule is packed with local favorites like yoga, kickboxing, spinning and the incomparable Punk Rope. And, Chalk is a gym you can actually afford with amenities you want, including spotless locker rooms and towel service. Losardo believes in the buddy system when it comes to working out, that is, you’re much more likely to come to the gym and keep coming if you have a workout partner. When you commit to a year-long membership at Chalk it’s just $125 per month for two adults–you don’t have to be married or related, or even live together, you just have to sign up together. Right now, BB readers can get one free month when you sign up and mention that you read about Chalk on BB.
