Members-Only Fitness

We used to think we exercised our pink cucumber often enough, but as it turns out, our daily routine isn’t doing much to improve our health. Or save money on Kleenex. But there’s a new workout program designed exclusively to make Mr. Johnson more popular at parties for years to come. Get a grip on the new Private Gym training […]

Is Your Workout Making You Fat?

It’s been said that slow and steady wins the race. So, that hour you spend on the elliptical every day is the fastest way to drop the fat, right? Wrong. While slow and steady may be true for managing your 401K, it isn’t the case when it comes to losing body fat. Instead, a workout that alternates high-intensity levels with […]

Lucky Seven

My car broke down. I’m late for my anal bleaching. A shark bit off my legs and arms. No more excuses. If you’re a gym hater, but still want a rockin’ summer bod, it’s gonna take more than just a few carefully directed prayers and a can of Slim-Fast. You need to work out. What you don’t need is an […]

Tried And True Ways To Lose The Flab

Maintain a Caloric Deficit No matter what approach you take to losing body fat, the bottom line is that to lose the flab, you have to burn more calories than you consume.  Sure, sounds easy, right? Well, it can be. The first way to do this is to simply cut your calories back and be patient. The second is to […]

Belt One Out

The worst part about gaining or losing weight is the closet full of clothes that no longer fit. Lose inches and your once-flattering skin-tight unitard hangs on you like a potato sack. Gain and people flee in fear of exploding seams and fat roll release. At least there’s one accessory that’s a little more forgiving: the Nooka Strip Belt. Available […]

Bendy On The Bridge

You haven’t lived until you’ve pulled your legs over your head on the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. And now you can do it during yoga. This Saturday, our beautiful Calatrava bridge turns into a gigantic outdoor yoga studio with a one-hour class for adults and a 45-minute class for families with children. Whether you’re an expert or can barely bend […]

Don’t Worry, Bead Happy

We wish every day were Mardi Gras. For one, flashing our naked body parts would earn us exponentially more beads than public indecency citations. But celebrating the festive holiday once a year is better than not at all. Though not quite as debaucherous as the New Orleans shindig, Mardi Gras Oak Cliff is getting bigger, better and gayer with each […]

The Calorie Counter

These days, you can’t go anywhere without being bombarded with calorie counts. Many restaurants are printing calorie counts on menus, some forced to by law (sorry Applebee’s). Go to the Supermarket and there they are, branded across every package, box and bottle. Head to the gym and you can hop on the treadmill to sweat, gasp and watch the ‘calories […]

Wake Up & Smell The Healthy Bacteria

Somewhere right now, Jamie Lee Curtis is wishing she never had to eat another tub of yogurt to get her probiotic intake. But now, she doesn’t have to. And neither do you, thanks to Cafe Viva, the world’s first probiotic coffee. A three-in-one beverage that’s just what you need in the morning, Cafe Viva combines premium coffee, vitamins and probiotics […]

Resolution Week: Rise & Shine

Getting more rest may seem like a silly New Year’s resolution to some, but we’ll do anything to get our full 13 hours of sleep every night (it’s how we stay so youthful and vibrant). And if we can achieve that without a handful of Ambien, a jug of wine and our white noise machine, even better. That’s why we’re […]
