As someone who’s been working from … Continue reading
Every new year, we’re intrinsically programmed to try something new — new diet, new goals for ourselves, and new workouts. There are countless opportunities to get fit here in Houston, and I thought this year I’d tell you 20 of my favorite workout studios, classes, or instructors, and why I love them so much. I know … Continue reading

You know you had a really good pilates class when you leave feeling sore in muscles you didn’t even know existed. That’s me after almost every class at Control Studios. I’ve been taking classes with Courtney and Kale of Control Studios since before they even opened! Lifelong exercise enthusiasts and experienced pilates instructors, the duo … Continue reading
Pilates is by far my new obsession. It’s a targeted muscle workout that is challenging every time I go. This past weekend, I visited Boost Pilates in West U.
