He Got The Job

Last week, “06880” reported on David Lipson, the son of Staples’ choral director who was auditioning for a position as “hunky fitness expert” on WNBC-TV’s new LX lifestyle show.

The votes are in.  He got the job.

“06880” claims a tiny bit of credit for helping deliver the votes that put David over the top.  We do not claim any credit for developing his washboard abs.

Dave Lipson: Fitness Expert, Hunky Trainer

LXTV — Channel 4’s new 5 p.m. lifestyle show — is looking for a fitness expert, to host a weekly segment.  He should be an expert trainer, a skilled communicator, an inspirational figure — and a hunk.

NBC New York’s website is pretty clear:

We searched the city for the hottest athletes and trainers we could find….We’ll introduce one “hunky” a day and you’ll get a chance to vote for your favorite in an online poll next week.

One of those “hunks” is one of our own.  Dave Lipson — Staples ’01, son of Staples choral director Alice Lipson and Temple Shalom rabbi Mark Lipson — is a top 5 finalist in the NBC search.

After graduating from the University of Rhode Island, playing professional baseball and earning the highest certification as a strength and conditioning coach, Dave founded CrossFit Exodus in Manhattan.  A broad, inclusive fitness program, CrossFit is used by police academies, special operations units and champion martial artists around the globe.  Dave has established a reputation as a CrossFit expert — and a fitness coach who connects personally and directly with every client.

Tomorrow, Dave appears live on the 5 p.m. show.  Channel 4 airs his bio, and he’ll answer questions.  Viewers vote online, from 6 p.m. September 18 through the 21st, to pick the weekly fitness host.

Here’s hoping Dave piles up a hunk of votes.
