A Houstonian’s Guide to: A Weekend in Chicago
Chicago is a huge and diverse city — every time I visit, I have a different experience.

CycleBar is Houston’s New Spin Obsession
So, I’m kind of a spin class nerd. I’ve done SoulCycle. I’ve done Revolution Studios. I’ve done both RYDE and Ride.

Here are 10 things to know before you … Continue reading
HIP Fitness: Not Your Typical Pilates Class
It took me less than five minutes in a HIP Fitness class to realize that I was so screwed. RIP, muscles. I’m no stranger to pilates, so I thought a reformer class would be NBD. Mistake No.1: HIP isn’t a reformer class. It’s a Megaformer, and this ain’t pilates. It’s a Lagree method taught class, … Continue reading
