You know we love Flywheel and Flybarre at scoop ~ Susu’s husband is totally addicted to it and is in his best shape since his marathoning days some 20 years ago. We always ask the FLYfolk for a special deal just for scoop readers, and again they’ve given us a good one. Right now Flywheel […]

Hope everyone has enjoyed a wonderful break. Not sure about you, but I’m just about ready for school to be back in session…like the Christmas carol “mom and dad can hardly wait for school to start again.” Yep, that’s me. Mainly I’m looking forward to knowing what day it is again. The week between Christmas […]

9Rounders LOVE the speed (30 minutes) and ease (no reservations, just drop in) of getting your workout in at this super friendly, unstuffy Dilworth studio (plus there’s the whole right near The Fresh Market thing). If you aren’t familiar with this fitness method, check out scoop blogger Nicole’s post on her recent visit here. Whether […]

These two studios have great deals this month, and there’s nothing that says you can’t sign up for both!! Our back-of-the envelope calculations say that no other CLT studio shapes more […]

I know, I know. We’re supposed to live healthy 24/7, 365. Blah Blah Blah. If you’re like me, you think about living and eating healthy all the time, especially while you are sipping something alcoholic and munching Brownie Bites that you hid from yourself in the freezer (oddly still quite tasty) while watching 4 DVRs in […]

It’s a Whole New Year – so let’s chat a little about Whole 30. It’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle.  So you’ve decided to look into the wonderful world of Whole 30. Feeling a little unsure? I get it {giving up that evening glass of wine can be a daunting decision}. But I’m here […]

Didn’t get everything on your Christmas list or running late on gifts for others?
