With a reputation as the fitness home of choice for the Broadway community, MFF has been featured in Forbes, the New York Times, the New York Post, the Wall Street Journal, NY1, and more. The MFF model has made waves in the fitness industry for its unprecedented growth, industry-leading results, and unique take on fitness. Living their mantra of "ridiculous humans, serious fitness," MFF provides progressive training and nutrition protocols in a delivery system of subversive humor, fantastical imagery, and outrageous antics.

Winner of six 2013 Tony Awards including Best Musical, this inspirational story follows a struggling shoe factory owner who works to turn his business around with help from Lola, a fabulous entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos.

Inspired by a true story, Kinky Boots is produced by Daryl Roth and Hal Luftig and features a joyous, Tony-winning score by Cyndi Lauper, direction and Tony-winning choreography by Jerry Mitchell and a hilarious, uplifting book by four-time Tony winner Harvey Fierstein.
