5 Fitness Training and Yoga: Keeping the Personal in Personal Training

February 12, 2015 by

There are so many gyms and fitness centers in the Austin area that it can be difficult to tell one from the next. 5 Fitness in Rollingwood looks to set itself apart with a focus on personal, professional attention. On your first visit to 5 Fitness, you will meet with a trainer who will talk with you about your fitness goals, injury history, and exercise preferences. Your trainer will then measure your BMI and assess your water intake and fitness level before setting you up with a complimentary first class.

In order to provide the best level of instruction, all classes at 5 Fitness Training and Yoga are capped at 15 participants. Classes range from vinyasa yoga and pilates to spinning and kickboxing, and the gym's regular 45-minute sessions fit easily into most schedules.

Trapeze Austin: Feel the Rush of This Daring Workout

January 15, 2015 by

If you ever admired the daring leaps and seemingly impossible catches of trapeze performers at the circus, Trapeze Austin gives you the chance to learn these incredible moves yourself. This wild new workout is not for the faint of heart, but the rush that you get from flying through the air on the trapeze is well worth the nerves.

Trapeze Austin is equipped with structural circus arts rigging systems that feature a sturdy safety net underneath to keep you protected in case of a fall. The facility offers one- and two-hour lessons that begin by teaching you the very basics of trapeze flying on the ground, and then expand to the air for the majority of the lesson. In the longer lessons, participants are even able to experience what it’s like to be caught in mid-air, just like professional trapeze performers.

If you’re looking for a unique place for a birthday party or family gathering, Trapeze Austin is great for private parties as well.

East Side Glass Studio: Glass-Blow Your Own Masterpiece

November 13, 2014 by

Shara Funari and Leigh Taylor Wyatt arrived at glass blowing from very different backgrounds. Shara didn't pick up the art until 2004, honing what was then a hobby at a public glass blowing studio in 2004. Leigh relocated to Texas in 2006 specifically to further her glass blowing career and to be closer to family. However, for both women, glass blowing eventually evolved into a passion; this is why they opened East Side Glass Studio in Austin.

At the studio, the public can come in to watch Shara and Leigh blow glass, or they can join in themselves. Intro classes are held a few times over the course of a month, teaching newbies the basics of glass blowing. Visitors can come in for a one-off experience where they learn the bare-bone fundamentals and then create their own glass masterpiece in a single session.
