The High Ridge Park campus, which includes the offices of Frontier,

Proposed Life Time Fitness riles preservationists, neighbors

STAMFORD Another battle is brewing over an office park near the Merritt Parkway.

An application that has been floating around the Land Use Bureau for several months, proposing construction of a Life Time Fitness in the place of one of the six buildings in a commercial office park off Exit 35 of the parkway, has already aggravated historic preservationists and piqued the interest of at least one neighborhood association.

Conservationists are trying to save the building from the wrecking ball as they worry about breaking up the architecture of High Ridge Park, designed by famed architect Victor Hanna Bisharat.

Bisharat, who also designed Landmark Square, was the visionary of urban renewal in downtown Stamford as the resident architect for F.D. Rich in the 1960s and 70s.

High Ridge Park is significant as a collection of mid-century modern architecture and its interrelationship with the designed landscape, said Jill Smyth, executive director of the Historic Neighborhood Preservation Program.

The State Historic Preservation Office weighed in on the office parks historic significance in a letter addressed to Smyth last week, naming the property as a possible candidate for the National Register of Historic Places.

Demolition of contributing components of this property would be a significant loss to our architectural heritage, the letter reads.

The building up for demolition which once housed Frontier Communications was built sometime between 1967 and 1975, when Bisharat painstakingly designed the office park.

Land Use Bureau Chief Ralph Blessing said the application has been made available to the citys Historic Preservation Advisory Commission for review.

Technically this building is not 50 years old, Blessing said of the Bisharat building that would fall to make way for the health club. Thats usually the threshold for preservation, but if there is any other evidence regarding the buildings historic significance, then I think it would be fair to have HPAC look into this.

Neighborhood concerns

The neighbors, on the other hand, are concerned about the level of noise and traffic the new gym will add to the area.

In Sterling Lake, an abutting neighborhood separated from the office park by a large pond, residents have been eagerly awaiting the applications debut on the Planning Board agenda, which could happen as early as August.

There are things (about this application) that affect us directly, said Hank Cuthbertson, president of the Sterling Lake Association. Were kind of like a little nature preserve here ... This wouldnt just be in our backyard, this would be in our living room.

Cuthbertson is most concerned about noise from the large gym complex and outdoor pool proposed for the site across the pond from his home.

The noise is a big concern. There is nothing between the back of our houses and this facility but water, he said. The sound would come across and you would hear the sound not just in the backyard, but in your house.

Neighbors are also worried about the impact on roads, which are already heavily clogged at peak traffic times as cars pile onto the Merritt.

Right now to get in or out (of Sterling Lake) at rush hour is troublesome, Cuthbertson said. Now it wont just be at rush hour, and that really drives people crazy.

When the application reaches the Planning Board, Cuthbertson has requested to address the board with the concerns of his neighborhood. He says hes heard from neighbors on Turn of River and Intervale roads who also plan to oppose the project.

Text change

Life Time Fitness is a national chain of high-end health clubs, which usually offer a wide array of amenities from classic fitness centers to salons, food courts, child care centers and indoor and outdoor pools.

This means the applicant, identified as an LLC that appears to be tied to the office parks property manager in Manhattan, needs to ask for text change that allows for development of a gymnasium or physical culture establishment in the citys office park zones.

A representative for the buildings property manager, George Comfort & Sons, could not be reached for comment.

This request is presented as an adaptive re-use under the Mixed Use Campus section of the citys Master Plan, which was also used to prop up Harbor Point developer Building and Land Technologys proposed and later rejected text change at an office park on Long Ridge Road.

The key difference between these two projects, however, is that the applicant is not asking for the addition of an entirely new use as BLT was with the addition of residential units on Long Ridge.

It would be a very targeted text change, Blessing said. The Life Time application is much more targeted on one specific use, where the Long Ridge Road one would have opened a whole new category of uses.

Still, he said, even narrow text changes can be problematic.

There are still concerns about what does this do to setbacks and allowed impervious surface, Blessing said. What it comes down to, as always, is what the Planning Board thinks about this and then the Zoning Board, and obviously they will listen to public.

The application has flitted on and off the Planning Boards agenda for several months, leaving residents to wonder what the final proposal will look like. A formal staff report has not yet been completed as the Land Use Bureau awaits final plans.

Blessing said hes not sure when the application will head to the Planning Board for review, but it could get there as soon as August, when the board returns from summer hiatus.

The military is faced with a fitness dilemma.

Rather than another article warning of impending doom, I wanted to offer a relatively simple solution, or at least the start of one. The root of the fitness problem might not be physical, but rather psychological. And change starts with a four-letter word.

DONT SUGARCOAT IT

For years, the military has looked to improve performance processes based on the corporate world, which is not inherently a bad thing. But along with these processes has come the business vernacular, which I believe is not such a good thing.

This terminology and way of thinking overly sanitizes the purpose of the military namely, to kill the enemy.

Some readers will digest the word kill without flinching, but it likely will make the majority uncomfortable, and understandably so. Most would agree that the words neutralize or destroy sound much more palatable than kill. But if the mission of the armed services is to fight and win our nation's wars, killing the enemy is definitely the implied task.

So, how are killing and fitness related?

THE KILL CONCEPT

Tim Kennedy, a Special Forces sergeant first class with the Texas Army National Guard and retired pro mixed martial arts fighter, may have said it best: Every time you train, train with the motivation and purpose that you will be the hardest person someone ever tries to kill.

By using the term kill, we ramp up the seriousness and the reality of what service members must be prepared to do. Instead of physical training being focused on the nebulous concept of fitness, it should be linked directly to one of two outcomes: making a service member harder to kill, or making a service member better at killing.

Adding this kill concept creates a powerful shift in mindset. Goodbye PT leader, hello modern-day Doctore, the title given to trainers of Roman gladiators.

Even if the odds of kill-or-be-killed scenarios are low, why not prepare for the worst-case scenario? Theres historical precedent here: British military leaders at the outset of World War I knew that bayonet encounters would be rare, but they still championed bayonet training for its physical and psychological effects on a population preparing for what was, at the time, the largest battle the nation had ever seen.

Decide who you are going to be. Are you going to be the victim or the survivor? Are you going to be the hardest person someone ever tries to kill?

My bet is that second workout is going to be significantly more productive than the first. Now, imagine if you multiplied that effect across the military.

Two years ago, I met my wife. The time I've spent with her has been the most blissful 23 months of my life. It's also been the most fattening. We got married in January, and by March, I was 9 pounds heavier than when I was single and at my leanest.

As a technology journalist, the first thing I turned to was, of course, tech. I had been the proud owner of a half-dozen wearables over the years, only to grow bored with them after a few weeks. Yet my optimism persisted. So I bought one of Fitbit's activity trackers and then requested review copies of others I found interesting. Before I knew it, I had accumulated 17 devices.

Think of the Fitbits of the world as Wearables 1.0. At first, they tracked steps. And then, as better motion sensors in smartphones brought us free step-counting apps, the industry moved on to fancier things such as heart-rate monitoring. I even had a watch that measured my sweat. But all they did was record this data and package them into pretty charts. What were you supposed to do with that?

There's a new generation of wearables just starting to reach consumers, and they take their predecessors' approach to the natural next step. Based on the data they collect, these devices actually tell you what to do, while you're exercising or afterward. One of them even calls itself an "AI personal trainer." Some delivered on this promise far more than others, but one thing's for sure: These wearables are a big step above what has previously been available.

But are they actually as good as a human personal trainer? I asked Jennifer Pattee, founder of fitness company Basic Training, to train me for two months.

Here, I put the gadgets to the test. I focused mostly on devices that are for running or indoor bodyweight exercises, so they're applicable to a wide audience of people. Many of these products contained a heart rate sensor, which worked in one of two ways. Chest straps are considered the gold standard because, using electrodes, they detect your pulse at the source - electrical signals that instruct your heart to contract. An increasingly popular alternative is optical heart rate sensors, which shine a light into your capillaries to observe your blood flow. These tend to be less accurate than chest straps because things like movement can throw off the readings. I tested all devices with an optical sensor against the Wahoo TICKR X ($80) and Polar H10 ($90) chest straps.

My No. 1 pick: Moov HR Burn $60

For months leading up to this story, I had been going on the same boring and slow 30-minute jog. The Moov HR Burn blasted me out of that rut, drawing on an increasingly popular method of exercise called high-intensity interval training. This device didn't make these workouts hurt any less. But it did make them more fun.

The Moov HR Burn is a chest strap that pairs wirelessly with a free app that talks to you, guiding you in real time through four different indoor-exercise classes, as well as outdoor runs and indoor cycling workouts. Moov's coach reads your heart rate to check if you're working hard enough. When you are, "she" congratulates you ("You're doing great!"), and when you aren't, she cheerfully scolds you ("Time to push it!"). It surprised me how much these quips kept me going.

Also worth trying: Whoop Strap 2.0 $500

At first glance, this wristband looks like a lot of other heart rate-monitoring activity trackers. What separates the Whoop strap is how it uses the data it collects to tell you what do.

Take for example the "recovery" score that Whoop's app shows you every morning. This is determined from, among other things, a gauge called heart rate variability. When this recovery score is low, the app warns you to take it easy. I also liked Whoop's "sleep coach," which calculated exactly when I needed to get to bed each night.

That said, most people, like me, would balk at buying a $500 gadget.

Jabra Sport Pulse Special Edition $160

These wireless earbuds monitor your heart rate and, via Bluetooth, connect to an app that coaches you through your runs. But the Jabra didn't chime that often with instructions, encouragements or admonishments, and thus didn't inspire me to train harder.

You might still want to get this headset, though, even if it's just to listen to music on your runs without getting tangled up in cords. A slightly older version of this product is discounted to about $100 on Amazon.com, and that's a competitive price for wireless sport headphones. You'll get the added bonus of a heart rate monitor in your ear.

Moov HR Sweat $100

Moov also sells a headband that connects to the same app as the Moov HR Burn, except this one uses an optical sensor to detect your heart rate at your temple. I found the heart readings to be pretty accurate. Unless you absolutely can't stand the feel of a chest strap for even a half-hour of exercise, I would recommend the HR Burn over the HR Sweat.

Moov Now $60

Also from Moov is a lightweight band you can wear on your ankle when you go running, or on your wrist when swimming. It can tell you when your foot hits the ground with too much impact, which meant that the app was constantly nagging me to run with softer steps. It's more useful and it's cheaper than many other activity trackers, but I think the Moov HR Burn will be enough for most people.

Muse $249

This is a headband that tracks your brainwaves to help you meditate, informing you when you've successfully quieted your mind. Sure, that's not an exercise, but it's an interesting application for wearables. When you're in a zen state, you hear birds chirping through an accompanying app; when you get distracted, a storm brews. It's kind of cool if you've been dying to meditate and nothing else has worked for you.

Polar M430 $230

This running watch isn't a real-time coach, but it does package some of the data it collects into useful insights through Polar's app, giving it a slight leg up against other GPS watches. It gives you a score on your running performance that you can track and compare against your age group.

Lumo Run $100

This is a motion-sensing clip that you wear on the back of your shorts, and it coaches you on super-specific aspects of your running form. Then it recommends exercises to correct your deficiencies and reminds you during future runs to work on fixing those flaws.

Worth skipping, for most people: Fitbit Charge 2 $150

This wristband tracks your heart rate, counts your steps, records your sleep and automatically recognizes the form of exercise you're doing. But it basically tracks your activity for the sake of tracking it.

OMbra $169

This sports bra is unique in that it not only monitors your heart rate, but also your breathing. This was neither useful nor motivating for me.

Vi $249

This is a wireless headset similar to Jabra's Sport Pulse, with a sometimes-accurate optical heart rate sensor on its left earbud. It connects to an app that talks to you while you run.

Jabra Elite Sport $250

These earbuds are truly wireless in the sense that they aren't even connected by a wire in the back - think Apple's AirPods but sturdier. They pair with the same app as the Jabra Sport Pulse.

Atlas Wristband 2 $199

In the way that Fitbit's Charge 2 can automatically detect when you're biking, compared with when you're running, Atlas' watch knows and tracks what you're doing in the gym, down to very specific exercises, whether they're dead lifts or kettlebell swings.

Some people won't need any of these devices. There's a lot that your smartphone can do on its own, thanks to big improvements in built-in sensors. If you're a runner or a cyclist and all you want is to track things like your distance, pace and elevation gain, you can download a free app such as Strava to record your workouts.

If you're more interested in following how much you move throughout the day, and you carry your phone everywhere, try a free step-counting app, such as Pedometer++.

real talk

Weve always been big fans of fitness expert Emily Skye. She offers up great motivation and inspiration with her killer physique. Plus, shes never been afraid of getting honest about uncomfortable issues. And if you thought that would change when Skye announced her pregnancy, think again. The fitness star recently took to her Instagram to discuss some of the less pleasant aspects of pregnancy in a real and honest post that we absolutely love.

In particular, the body positive fitness expert opened up about how shes gaining fat and cellulite as she heads through her pregnancy and that shes just fine with it. In the lengthy and refreshingly candid post, Skye discussed how her body is changing as her pregnancy goes forward, and how some aspects are less exciting than others.

Skye also shared a close-up photo of her new figure (and the accompanying cellulite).

She was quick to stress that none of this was about competing with other people or comparing her body to others; it was simply a chance to be honest and upfront about how the body can change during pregnancy.

We applaud Skye for her honesty and bravery about what can be a pretty touchy and taboo subject. Way to keep it real and congratulations on your upcoming arrival!

ST. PETERSBURG Following six months of planning and construction, the Planet Fitness on 66th Street formally activated a rooftop solar array that will eliminate the building's net energy output, drawing praise from Rep. Charlie Crist and Mayor Rick Kriseman at a ceremony Friday morning.

Though Crist lauded Planet Fitness's renovation, he said Pinellas County, and Florida overall, still lags in solar energy production, a statement he has made often dating back to his tenure as governor.

"We are the Sunshine City in the Sunshine State," said Crist, a St. Petersburg Democrat. "And so, for us not to be owning solar is kind of shocking."

Kriseman, echoing the same message, blamed Florida's state lawmakers for the slow move toward solar.

"It's really because we have a Legislature, some of whom don't even believe in the science of climate change, which is a challenge," Kriseman said. "There's too many of them that have been feeding from the big utility companies for too long."

Florida has plenty of larger solar arrays and plenty of newly-built structures that tout themselves as "net-zero," meaning they produce at least as much total energy as they use. But St. Petersburg-based Solar Energy Management, which oversaw the Planet Fitness solar installation, said the 20,000-square-foot building is the largest to be retrofitted to zero net energy.

Owner Doug Kuiken said the new system will effectively reduce the gym's monthly energy bill which ran at upwards of $4,000 to zero, not including taxes.

The building's 179-kilowatt solar array is made up of 536 panels, and it will give Planet Fitness a return on its investment in less than six years, according to Scott McIntyre, chief executive of Solar Energy Management. He declined to provide details on the project's total cost.

Part of Planet Fitness's motivation for installing the solar panels, McIntyre said, was to secure the solar tax credit that allows for a 30 percent tax deduction on solar installation costs. The credit begins to decrease after 2019.

Crist, a first-term congressman after winning Florida's 13th District in November, said tax incentives are one of the most effective ways to spur solar growth in Pinellas. Returning to St. Petersburg for the Fourth of July recess, he said Friday's ceremony was a good way to spread the word that businesses can make the move to net zero.

"I just think it's the right thing to do," he said. "And so, I found out about this, and I'm like, yeah, of course we'll be there. It's a no-brainer."

The Jawbone Jambox.

For a brief period from 2010 to 2012 or so the Jawbone Jambox was everywhere. It wasnt the first battery-powered Bluetooth speaker, but it was the first to break through to the mass market. Stylish and with just enough sound quality to make for good outdoor listening, it quickly took off. I was living in San Francisco at the time, and sunny days at Dolores Park suddenly became bubbles of competing Jamboxes, the distinctive Lego-like speakers pumping Beach House or Wiz Khalifa (ah, 2011).

The rise of the Jambox hit perfectly with the confluence of two things: nearly everyone owning a smartphone with a Bluetooth antenna and the rise of streaming music. Smartphones meant that anyone could DJ. Spotifys migration from Sweden to the U.S. in mid-2011 meant that everyone now carried a huge library of music with them at all times. And the Jambox, a product that would have been, at best, a pricey novelty, suddenly became ubiquitous.

Jawbone, however, had its sights set on bigger things. Even in 2011, the company was determined to get into what, at the time, seemed like a burgeoning market: fitness tracking and wearables. That would ultimately prove to be its undoing; its fitness trackers never sold especially well, and the company it most directly competed with, Fitbit, is itself facing financial difficulties.

Meanwhile, one of the few American companies able to make both great hardware and software, Apple, swooped in with a Watch that further squeezed the market. According to the Information, Jawbone, once valued at $3 billion, already filed papers to declare insolvency, with its CEO and remaining staff shifting over to a new company, Jawbone Health. Its CEO seems determined to carry on the fight for health trackers there, but the outlook remains grim for the market. (I imagine there are a lot of rsums being updated even as people change their email signature to Jawbone Health.)

Even if Jawbone had stayed strictly in its lane and produced Bluetooth speakers, it would have faced a tough road. The Jambox was easy to imitate, and cheaper (and eventually better-sounding) versions soon flooded the market. The wireless Bluetooth speaker isnt dead my inbox gets hits daily with news of another company that has a Bluetooth speaker that can float, or is solar powered, or doubles as a purse. But the companies that dominate the market now are either audio manufacturers with long experience and supply chains, like Bose and JBL, or Chinese upstarts that can be aggressive on price. Jawbone was likely always going to get squeezed out. Its choice to chase after fitness trackers only hastened its demise.

SHELBY TWP., MIch. - A suspected meth lab exploded at a Shelby Township home - and the man inside ended up half a mile away at Planet Fitness.

It created a Hazmat scare which shut down the fitness center in Shelby Township for hours and dozens of people were forced out.

The frantic man had burns all over his body and stepped inside the Planet Fitness. People inside had to leave behind their keys and belongings.

"We heard this guy just started screaming and I looked and he just started running to the locker room," said Paul Kramer.

Kramer's bewilderment soon turned to panic as police evacuated roughly 50 people inside the Planet Fitness on 23 Mile and Van Dyke in Shelby Township.

"So we went into our locker room to get all our stuff apparently they were saying something about contamination or something," Kramer said.

Police say that screaming man was involved in a meth lab explosion just a few minutes earlier. It caused a fire inside this house in the 8000 block of Wiloray around 340 p.m. Friday afternoon.

Neighbors like Nick Leach doubled as firefighters until the real ones arrived.

"It was just god-awful in there and I hurried up and grabbed my dad real quick," he said. "And grabbed our garden hose and we pretty much, he was getting it from the window and I was getting it from the door for a minute."

The screaming man drove to the Planet Fitness and was on fire when he got out of his car.

"We had eyewitnesses that said the individual fled in a car that individual ended up here," said Mark Coil, Shelby Township police. "As you can see behind us, he exited his car, He was on fire."

He rushed to the showers inside the Planet Fitness with meth making materials still inside his car. Shelby Township police evacuated the gym and cleared out the parking spaces near the man's vehicle.

"This rolling meth lab is highly volatile," Coil said. "The chemicals that are used in these situations to cook this type of product are explosive and until we have the experts on scene we don't know what we're dealing with."

A Michigan State Police Hazmat team searched the man's car and home. First responders rushed him to Beaumont Hospital in Troy with severe burns over much of his body

And police say at last check that man was in stable condition. He is expected to be moved to another hospital, while a second suspect is sought.

The summer's hottest fitness trend...floating yoga. (Photo: TODAY)

There's no denying yoga is tough stuff have you ever tried to hold a pigeon pose for over a minute? Ouch. Yet, here in New York City, the fitness gurus at TMPL Gym decided to take the already challenging fitness class up a notch: Meet Holy Water, or yoga on a floating board, in the middle of a pool.

The harder-than-it-looks class encompasses aspects of yoga, Pilates and other strength and conditioning moves to target your core while toning your entire body.

I jumped into the pool thinking I would be able to pull off a fierce one-legged downward dog like this Holy Water expert:

But in reality I ended up quivering during warrior pose and then falling face first into the pool. Not my most zen moment of the 45-minute class.

At the beginning, Bryan Jarrett, TMPL's group fitness manager, talked us through a warm up so we could find our balance on the board. Then we got started with the real work.

Keeping stable on the board definitely required a lot of focus. I wound up wobbling my way from plank to the "jump and turn." As someone with very little vertical agility, the prospect of jumping and landing on an unstable surface was a bit daunting. So, I started by jumping just an inch off the board ... But by the end of class I had mastered more of a leap!

Balancing on the board while lifting one of my shaky limbs was another fun (joking) part, but after muscling through the workout I was feeling pretty powerful.

Falling into the pool (it happened more than a few times) seemed a little scary at first, but after the initial shock of hitting the surface wore off, I let loose and gave into the likelihood that I would probably fall again ... And again ... And again.

Giving into the falls was actually half the fun!

This week, according to the Information, Jawbone shut down.

Thats the company, valued at $3 billion, that brought us the Up fitness bands.

So heres the thing: Microsoft discontinued its fitness band in 2016. Nike discontinued its Fuel band in 2015.

Meanwhile, Fitbit, the biggest remaining seller of fitness bands, is having a tough time. Its first-quarter sales were down 39 percent over the same period last year.

Whats going on? Why are we abandoning fitness bands en masse?

The products themselves the Fitbit Alta HR and Charge 2 especiallyare fantastic. Superbly designed, very accurate, truly helpful in keeping you excited about moving more and sleeping better.

So why do the statistics show that half of Fitbit owners arent actually wearing their bands?

Two things are going on. First, lots of people give and get fitness bands as gifts. The number of bands sold is therefore much higher than the number of bands in use; not everyone who gets a Fitbit as a corporate, birthday, or holiday gift is interested in confronting or improving his or her terrible fitness habits.

Second, smartwatches may not be hot sellers, but little by little, their sales numbers are improving, at the expense of Fitbit-type bands. Thats a good argument for Fitbit, Inc. to start thinking about more watchlike bands which is exactly what the company is doing.
