**Update: After 40 years, The Oaks at Ojai has closed its doors.** Ojai is a charming town known for its scenic beauty, great hiking trails & pedestrian-friendly downtown area filled with art galleries, cafes & restaurants. It’s an easy drive, about 90 minutes north of the San Fernando Valley. With all of the back-to-school craziness behind me, I thought it would be really fun to visit The Oaks at Ojai. The Oaks is an award-winning … [Read more...]
SoulCycle: Tapping It Back in Calabasas
A few weeks ago, SoulCycle opened its newest location in Calabasas. Although I’ve taken cycle classes at other studios, this was my first time ever taking a SoulCycle class. While indoor group cycling classes are not a new concept, it was SoulCycle that pioneered the trend back in 2006 which combines 45 minutes of cycling with the use of hand weights in a club-like atmosphere with pulsating music. I’ve tried different cycle studios in … [Read more...]

After I checked-in & picked up my bib, I headed over to the New Balance booth to check out the runDisney shoes. I was all … [Read more...]
Fitsok – Athletic Socks {Review} Plus #Giveaway
Not all socks are created equal. When I ran my very first 5k, I wore basic white athletic socks. As I started running more 5ks & then later graduated to doing 10k races, I began to develop plantar fasciitis. After consulting with fellow runners & even a podiatrist, I started investing in a few items: KT Tape, knee high compression socks, running shoe insoles & now my latest addition - performance socks made by Fitsok. Admittedly … [Read more...]
XplosiveFit – Punching My Way Through the KickFit Class!
A couple weeks ago, I tried out a class at XplosiveFit in West Hills. The KickFit class is 30 minutes of sweaty fun, incorporating rope exercises & punching drills that I have never done. This class was like no other one that I've taken & it was just what I needed to change things up in my exercise routine! After a thorough warm-up, Coach Rod (owner of XplosiveFit) breaks up the class into groups & then demonstrates each move … [Read more...]
