New York City’s hottest gym isn’t a gym at all.

For decades, New Yorkers have turned the city’s urban clutter into makeshift workout equipment, especially for pullups. Whether scaffolding, subway rails or crosswalk lights, if they can hang from it, they’ll pull up on it.

The tradition isn’t new. But women have become the new face of it on social media, filming themselves doing pullups throughout the city on girls’ nights out, commutes and even date nights....
