Beach Baby Fitness will begin offering its Bar Core classes in the Pine Street School. Bar Core is a mixture of abdominal re-training, postural exercises, back strengthening, toning and stretching integrated with the ballet bar. The class focuses on initiating movement from the core and proper technique and alignment during exercises. The class will be offered right after preschool drop off on Mondays at 9:30am starting January 12th.

Beach Baby Fitness is a pre and post-natal fitness program designed to keep you strong during pregnancy and transition back to exercise after birth. Everyone is checked for diastasis recti separation, a common occurrence with pregnancy that can linger if not properly evaluated. Classes can be modified for injuries, each trimester or pregnancy and all fitness levels.

The new Bar Core class is building on the success of the Core Conditioning classes at the TriBeCa location. This class is answering the demand for local fitness classes for moms in the FiDi while their kids are in preschool.

Beach Baby Fitness offers classes that are BYOBaby. Mom can bring her baby or toddler to play in a supervised group while she gets a workout. Bar Core is offered for moms and expecting moms without kids present.

Solange Ross is the founder of Beach Baby Fitness. She is a women’s health physical therapist, personal trainer and group fitness instructor. She was inspired to create this program after the birth of her first baby in 2008 when she met many moms having difficulty getting back into exercise after birth.

Pine Street School: A Green Ivy School

Coming to New York City’s Financial District is a school guaranteed to leave a legacy. Stationed in the remarkable and world-renowned Trump Building is the Pine Street School, which held its grand opening July 17, 2014. The new pre-K – 8th grade school held a preview of what it will bring to the table when it opens in September, and the building was filled with excited families looking forward to what the Green Ivy School has to offer.

Pine Street School is the second in the Green Ivy organization–the first being located in Battery Park–and it was developed by Jennifer Jones, Ph.D. with the mission to “nurture people who can live and work successfully in the 21st century and be responsible and active local and global citizens.”

The school is also focused on becoming a contender for the Primary Years Programme from the International Baccalaureate: an educational institution dedicated to students reaching their full intellectual, personal, and emotional potential. Pine Street School boasts their students are well-connected to the world, because the world is their curriculum.

The Pine Street School is accepting applications for potential students, and the staff is excited to share the redesigned and rejuvenated space to FiDi families.

“Pine Street School is a breath of fresh air educationally, experientially, and architecturally,” Jones said. “It’s an open, joyful environment that creates lifelong results: children who are engaged, invested and compassionate citizens of the world.”
