the team

re-Creation Fitness + Recovery is the brainchild of fitness professional and entrepreneur Edward Rush, also known as Coach E.
 

Coach E. is a former competitive powerlifter, a martial artist and  amateur boxer. Coach E. was certified as a CrossFit coach over ten years  ago and in addition to owning and operating CrossFit IFS for 4 years in  Flatiron he is a certified USA boxing coach who  has trained tv and movie star Jennifer Esposito, now infamous celebrity  chef Sarma Melngailis of Bad Vegan fame, CBS and 60 Minutes  correspondent Bill Whitaker and Fitness star Fit Gurl Mel, Melissa  Alcantara.
 

Coach E. decided to open this elite functional fitness training studio  uptown in Harlem because he lives in the neighborhood and the need in  the Harlem community is so great. However, re-Creation Fitness and  Recovery has been designed to also serve as a fitness  lifestyle hub offering indoor/outdoor training options, like weighted  sled drags, bicycle rentals and ball slams in nearby Central Park and  Morningside Park, quick healthy meal workshops at a commercial kitchen  located one block away from the studio and in  the second quarter of 2023 we will begin offering recovery services to  help accelerate recuperation from intense exercise.
