Athletic But Definitely A Party Girl

From Underground Clubs To Underground Gyms: How Humans Thrive In Challenge with Miguel Alemar

Tim Landicho

From growing up as a Dominican kid in the Heights, to immersing himself in the NYC 80’s club scene, to now owning one of the coolest gyms in the iconic West Village, Miguel Alemar is one of the most New York motherf*ckers I know (along with being a true embodiment of Athletic But Definitely A Party Girl and one of my best industry friends).

In this conversation, we cover:

  • The recipe for magnetism 
  • Auto-regulation: his simple tool for consistency without burnout
  • Balancing priorities as a dad and business owner
  • Red flags vs. green flags for evaluating fitness content on social media
  • Why he believes humans thrive when challenged

Whether you're looking for street smarts or performance science, this episode has you covered.
