Huffing and puffing on assorted gym equipment for hours has just been reduced to less than 10 minutes at the new Club Motivate, a modernly designed sweatbox and raw juice bar in the heart of the East Village. The 3,500-square-foot gym houses only two distinct machines — both popular among NASA astronauts, celebrities and professional athletes. The ROM machine provides an intense aerobic workout in only four minutes, while the Reflex disc is a passive oscillating platform used in 10-minute sessions. When combined, the regimen puts every major muscle group through their full range of motion. In about the time it takes to boil an egg, you can potentially tone up for the day.
