The Fitness Tribe Making Exercise Fun (and Free) - with Bojan Mandaric and Brogan Graham

The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club.

 

The second rule of Fight Club? You know how it goes.

 

Lucky for us, the opposite is true for the founders of November Project, a fitness movement popularly known as the “Fight Club” of running clubs for its intense workouts, free membership, and tribe mentality.  

 

Following their days rowing crew for Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, Bojan Mandaric and Brogan Graham found themselves struggling to stay in shape in the cold New England months and the absence of a structured exercise regiment.

 

Then one night in 2011 over a couple of beers, they decided to make a pact: every morning for that month of November, they would meet at 6:30am and workout together.

 

Running hill repeats, bounding up the stairs of Harvard Stadium, dropping to the ground for the occasional pushups - the city was their gym, and the results were significant.

 

After a few months, Bojan and Brogan decided to throw out a few invites on Twitter, and the rest is history.

 

November Project now has tribes in 45 cities all over the world with its biggest meetups bringing together upwards of 1500 people for a single morning workout.

 

Here Bojan and Brogan share a little about their story, how November Project works, and what you can gain from joining a tribe near you.
