Close enough to walk. That cuts both ways.
The office on Park Avenue is a short walk or a shorter bike ride from most of the Shore. For some men that closeness is the reason they finally started. For others it is the thing they are quietly worried about.
The clients who come from here have no logistics to hide behind.
Most people considering this work have a small, entirely reasonable list of obstacles. Traffic. Parking. Getting back for dinner. If you live in the Shore, that list is shorter than almost anyone else's who reads this site.
What tends to surface instead is the real hesitation, which was never about the drive. It is usually some version of: if I say this out loud in a room, I cannot un-say it.
That is the actual starting point, and being ten minutes away means we get to it in week one rather than week six.
Three honest positions on being close by.
- The appeal
No drive means no exit ramp
When a session is a ten-minute walk, the week cannot quietly decide you were too busy.
- The worry
A neighborhood where you know the barista
Discretion in a small walkable place is different from discretion in a city. It is worth naming rather than hoping.
- The alternative
Video from four blocks away
Some Shore clients live within walking distance and still choose video, for exactly the reason above.
The reason is almost never the neighborhood.
These pages describe the work itself, in far more detail than a location page should attempt.
