November Project is a free fitness movement founded in 2011 in Boston, Massachusetts. The movement was created by Brogan Graham and Bojan Mandaric, who were former collegiate rowers. The November Project aims to build a worldwide community by encouraging people to stay active and fit through outdoor workouts, regardless of weather conditions.

History

The November Project began as a way for Graham and Mandaric to stay in shape during the cold winter months. They committed to working out together every morning in November, hence the name "November Project." The concept quickly gained popularity, and more people started joining their workouts. The movement expanded to other cities, and as of 2023, it has chapters in over 50 cities worldwide.

Workouts

November Project workouts are known for their inclusivity and intensity. They are held outdoors, often in iconic locations within a city, such as parks, stadiums, and monuments. The workouts typically include a mix of running, bodyweight exercises, and partner activities. The sessions are designed to be scalable, making them accessible to people of all fitness levels.

Community

One of the core principles of the November Project is building a sense of community. Participants, often referred to as "tribe members," are encouraged to support and motivate each other. The movement emphasizes accountability, with members often using social media to share their progress and encourage others to join.

Leadership

Each chapter of the November Project is led by volunteer leaders who are responsible for organizing and leading the workouts. These leaders are often passionate about fitness and community building. They play a crucial role in maintaining the energy and inclusivity of the movement.

Global Reach

The November Project has grown significantly since its inception. It now has a presence in cities across North America, Europe, and Asia. The movement's global reach is a testament to its universal appeal and the effectiveness of its grassroots approach to fitness and community building.
