It’s a timeless question: is it better to work out in the morning or the evening? With fitness more in vogue than ever, we’ve found yet another use for our flight deck—workout room extraordinaire. I can’t promise that burpees or weighted lunges will be any easier there (unless you choose to hide behind an exhibit so that your trainer doesn’t see you not doing them), but the atmosphere will most definitely increase those endorphins by the time you’re done.
Proponents of morning workouts will tell you that studies show working out in the morning not only is a great way to become a morning person but also helps with your productivity throughout the day, boosts your metabolism, helps you sleep better and has countless other benefits. Our take: Starting your day seeing the sun rise over the Manhattan skyline can’t be all that bad.

Then again, not everyone appreciates a morning workout. There is good news for evening exercisers as well. According to this article in Runner’s World, getting active in the evenings often allows you to hit your “peak performance.” That means no sleepy eyes or early alarms for you, allowing you to get going faster and arguably get in a better workout! Our take: Sunsets from the flight deck are equally stunning, and the evening breeze off the Hudson is just enough to cool you off.
