This man has the secret to how NYCs hottest men and women get so fit

If Mark Langowski flags you down on the sidewalk, it’s a good thing.The 44-year-old stops New Yorkers who appear especially fit and asks them what they do to stay in shape.

Doing so yields great social media fodder — he has 1.5 million followers on Instagram and several hundred thousand more on TikTok and YouTube — and some surprising answers.“A guy said he does 10,000 pushups in a day,” Langowski told The Post.

“He was incredibly ripped, but, like, you can’t really do anything else with your day if you’re doing 10,000 pushups.”Langowski, a personal trainer and gym manager, started making the videos just over a year ago after growing frustrated with the workout content he saw online.“I was sick of the narcissistic melting pot of garbage that social media had become, especially in the fitness industry, where it was just constantly, ‘Look at me, look at me do push ups, look at my abs,'” he said.

“And I’d always been interested in what other people did to stay fit.”Langowski doesn’t appear on camera in his short videos, and he makes an effort to feature everyday people who are in great shape, not those who work in the fitness industry.“I try and find the mom-of-three with three kids at home.

I try and find the Wall Street dad.I try and find the garbage man, the policeman,” he said.

“I really try and get a variety.”One of his first posts to go viral was a chat with a “ripped” UPS man in September 2023.“I don’t do weights, just calisthenics, pull-ups, dips, push-ups.

And keep going,” the man, who wore the brown uniform with swagger, said.When Langowski asked him how many pull-ups he could do — a common question that occasionally results in someone demonstrating their abilities on scaffolding or a traffic signal — the man said, “Real men, they don’t count.” Langowski finds most of his subjects downtown, typically in Soho and the West Village.

It’s not that people uptown aren’t fit, he said, but they do...
