Your closet is currently the most expensive real estate you own. Don’t let it be a graveyard for old sequins! 👗✨
With rent and mortgage rates this high, you can’t afford to let formal wear from 2019 live rent-free in your prime closet space. (Unless you had different plans for those bridesmaids dresses you’ll never wear again? Gentlemen, we get it. You did so many GBL™️ classes these past couple of months, your lats and biceps don’t fit that blazer anymore. It’s time for a new suit 💪) Evict those gowns and suits today, by giving them a Second Wind™️ of life to a good cause !
We’re collecting donations for 8th grade formals and 12th grade proms to make sure these students head into their big nights looking like a million bucks (without actually having to spend it).
🕺💃
👗 What we need:
• 8th Grade: Semi-formal outfits & formal outfits.
• 12th Grade: Prom gowns, tuxes, & suits.
• Plus: Shoes, ties, and accessories.
📍 Drop-off: Ironbound Performance Athletics 334 Second St , Front Desk
⏱️Hours: Mon - Fri 6AM-12 PM 5PM-7PM.
Sat 8AM-11:30 AM
Sun 8AM-1 PM
📅 Deadline: April 29th
(Absolute last day!) Clear the clutter. Help a student. Save your square footage.

The Get Up exercise (TGU) is often misunderstood. In whatever fitness circle you subscribe to, your view of the Get Up is most likely polarized. You either worship the altar of the great TGU or you’re on the other side of the fitness spectrum, where you will find that Get Ups are often misinterpreted, dismissed, and ridiculed in the social forums. You could even say that it’s a trend by influencers in the fitness realm to diminish the effects of Get Up.
The problem?
People don’t understand what it’s actually for.
It’s NOT:
❌ a muscle builder
❌ a strength booster for your big lifts
❌ a fat loss hack
❌ your injury cure all
So if that’s what you’re using it for… yeah, you’re wasting your time.
But when used correctly?
The Get Up becomes one of the most valuable tools in your program:
✅ A warm up that prepares your entire body
✅ A daily assessment of how you actually feel
✅ A way to build real, multi-planar stability
Now here’s where people mess it up:
They go too heavy. And unreasonably load it pass the minimal effective dose.
Start light:
➡️ ~8kg for women
➡️ ~14–16kg for men
(Or even a shoe or cup of water if you’re learning)
And honestly?
➡️ ~20kg (women) / ~32kg (men) is already STRONG.
Anything beyond that… that’s on you.
Move slow.
Pause every step.
Own every position.
Use it with intention, and it will work for you.
Use it to show off, and you risk a dumb gym injury.
Let the goal be the goal.

Our hearts go out to our neighbors, Jhonacel and Josan of Meryendang Pinoy, following the devastating fire at their Newark Ave shop.
Meryendang Pinoy is more than a restaurant; it’s a cornerstone of Filipino visibility in Downtown Jersey City. Our small businesses create a “living map” of our heritage. Whether it’s a post workout meal after a session at IPA,or a shared memory over traditional street food, these spaces are the heartbeat of our community.
As a fellow Filipino-owned business, we stand in total solidarity. We know the grit it takes to build a dream and the strength required to rebuild one.
Let’s rally behind Jhona & Josan. Every donation helps bring these cherished flavors back to our streets.
-Jersey City Strong 💪
