Michael Chernow, an exercise buff and the owner of the NoLIta seafood restaurant Seamore's, started a weekly workout class available to his 40-odd employees soon after the restaurant opened in 2015.
Every Wednesday at 9 a.m., about 10 to 15 staff members of Seamore's Fit Squad meet for either an indoor cycling class or for a four-mile run across the Williamsburg Bridge. Sometimes there are yoga or boot camp classes at the restaurant, where employees push aside tables and chairs to transform the dining room into a gym.
