October 21, 2015

Burn 60 WeHo is on FIRE!

So far, this is the sexiest of it’s kind in the hood. Clean, spanking gorgeous studio and equipment – AMAZING AIR/FAN situation, NO CHARGE for towels (like some other places) – top of the line everything. Addiction is settling in. This studio is on the top floor of Pavillions, so a bit tricky to navigate for the first time – get there early! I can’t wait to try all the classes.

Note: No showers so keep that in mind if you are headed to work afterwards.

Check out the breakdown of classes below. WeHo_Website_final2

SIGNATURE BURN:

novo body fitness – new group class in the valley

September 28, 2015

As a native valley girl who came of age in the height of “valley girl” notoriety, very little in my adult life can get me to return west of Sepulveda. Oddly, I’ve found myself braving the pilgrimage twice this week to visit and revisit Encino’s latest workout darling, Novo Body Fitness (http://www.novobodyfitness.com ) This one hour of instructor lead group weight lifting class flies by but leaves you feeling the pain for days after.  Think old school weightlifting in a super clean, air conditioned, sweet smelling studio with inspiring music and delicious eye candy and you’ve pretty much nailed Novo Body Fitness.

novo-042 novo-168 novo-1028Started by husband and wife team, Miguel Novo and Stephanie Luciano, this friendly intimate gym with easy parking and loads of class options offers the perfect remedy to pricey private training. Miguel is extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to his own fitness as well as yours and makes it nearly impossible not to push yourself and just as impossible to injure your self.  He checks in constantly for “joint pain” and is relentless with form and safety.  Having changed his own body and life when he was young through weight lifting and fitness, this lean and toned powerhouse, is the perfect motivator and inspiration to keep you focused and engaged. Try it.  First class is free and you wont be disappointed.

Rise Nation has me obsessed with being vertical

July 30, 2015

I’ve talked about Rise Nation when it was just opening – but now it’s official – I’m a climbing addict. Thanks to ClassPass and my working out EVERY FRICKEN DAY somewhere new and amazing, I am at Rise Nation once a week (not enough!!!) This is literally the best 30 minutes of my week. Up. Down. Up. Down. Sweat. Bangin beats. And a sick amount of calories burned.

Fave teachers. I’ve only taken Adam Goldstein (of Flywheel fame, fun, amazing energy, great music), Alex Curtis ( you’ll marvel at her ass for 30 minutes and the time will fly) and Devin, (uncomfortably attractive and hot).

FIRST CLASS IS FREE!!! Try a class and THANK ME LATER!!!
