Rope to the beat of your own drummer
Tim Haft invented a unique approach to working out with an aerobics class in New York City. Now he's trying to figure out how to rope more people in. Brigid Bergin has more on punk roping.

Love the business angle. Shouldn't be long before the masses are roped in. Well done!

I have been taking Punk Rope with Tim for almost 4 years now. I love it! He keeps things different and interesting so you want to come to his class. He is accommodating to all levels. CHECK THIS CLASS OUT!!!!

What an interesting story and quite well reported. I just attended a Boston Chamber of Commerce Seminar given by a contributer to "The Big Idea" - one of her suggestions for rut-busting was to behave more like a kid. Makes me want to break out the jump rope AND the old-school rhymes about Cinderella.
