Nothing like a little 5am adventure before the work day begins…
I didn’t want to wake up when my alarm went off at 4:50am this morning, but I forced myself not to hit the snooze button. I sleepily pulled on my leggings and laced up my sneakers. I met my roommate, Olivia, at the door and we slowly made our way down to the West Village for our early morning sweat sesh.
Except when we got to our destination by 6:00am, it wasn’t a spin bike or a yoga mat that awaited us – it was a boat. Welcome to DAYBREAKER on the Hornblower Infinity! DAYBREAKER is a morning rave to start your day on the right foot. The location usually changes during each event, but Olivia and I were lucky enough to attend one that took place on a boat! (It gave it a little something extra.) Instead of alcohol, they have juices, coffee, and light snacks available. This morning included another treat as today was the Halloween celebration, so we had numerous costumes to entertain us.
After jumping aboard, we grabbed coffee and coconut water and headed to the photo booth. We make a lovely pair, no?

The rest of our morning included:
Dancing…
Gorgeous skyline views at sunrise…
An appearance by Lady Liberty…
A brass band…
Fantastic Halloween costumes…
I wanted to be Maddie from Sia’s “Chandelier” video, but this guy would’ve put me to shame!

You just gave them a topic and they worked their magic!
I told Daniel of the Haiku Guys that I wanted my topic to either be ‘New York City’ or ‘adventure’, and he said, “How about both?”
…and meditation. All before 9:00am!

DAYBREAKER takes place almost every week in cities around the world. To keep up-to-date on the latest happenings, follow them on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. You can also subscribe to their e-mail newsletter, so you never miss a morning rave. The cost of this magical experience is about $35, and it goes from 6:00am to 9:00am on select days. If you are questioning whether you should attend or not, just know that Olivia didn’t want to go, but once she got there she had the most amazing time. Plus, it costs the same as one 45-minute fitness boutique class, so you might as well just do it! It’s an experience you’ll never forget.
Stay fit and fabulous,
A
