At a few doctors appointments I’ve gotten a high blood pressure reading. Which means now I’m nervous every time I get my blood pressure taken and that elevates it even further 🙃. According to the American Heart Association, more than 40 percent of non-Hispanic African-Americans have high blood pressure and you can go years without …

CycleBar – Union Station
Sometimes you just get stuck in a rut. I’ve been a complete slacker the past few months. Here are all of my bullshit excuses: a trip back to New Jersey messed up my schedule, daylight saving time, snow, thanksgiving, cold temperatures, blah, blah… These are all legitimate but there’s always something, right? You have to …
Denver Bikram Yoga
So I’m sure you see the recurring yoga theme by now. As an adult, hot yoga has been my workout of choice. Practicing with a community reminds me of my years and years spent in team sports. The other personal benefits for me are increased flexibility, controlled breathing, circulation, and lots and lots of sweat. …
Flywheel – Union Station
Of all the places I have tried so far, this was the most intimidating. On their website, the trainers and clients look like American Ninja Warriors. The bikes are all equipped with performance-tracking metrics so you are painfully aware of how well, or not so well, you stack up against your classmates. A drop-in class …

Joie De Vivre Pilates
Let me preface this post by saying this was my first time ever attending a Pilates class utilizing a reformer. The reformers look like they’re straight out of some torturous nightmare (google it). Lots of pictures show the reformers as a sliding base with the user either sitting on the base or laying on the …

It’s small, with a yoga studio that probably fits about 10 and two or three private massage rooms. The bathroom is large, open and fully handicap accessible. White Lotus’s website …
Yoga at The River Yoga – Five Points
I woke up Saturday morning still sore from Barre on Thursday night and a little hungover from the 9% ABV C-3PA at Zuni Street Brewing the night before. I had heard about The River Yoga from a few friends and saw they were running a special for new ClassPass students for just 2 credits. Hot …
Barre at Barre Forte
So, let me start by saying this was a great full body workout. It’s the morning after and I’m sorer than I’ve been in a while. Butttt, it just wasn’t for me. This was my first time ever taking Barre and after talking to a few people who had very mixed feelings, I was pretty …
