Posted on February 9, 2016 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: West Hills fitness studio, West Hills martial arts, XplosiveFit | 2 Comments

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!

Sonia is the founder & creative designer … [Read more...]

The main reason why I like eating at Sharky's is its commitment to serving healthy & fresh food. They aim to buy local whenever possible & source natural, organic … [Read more...]
