Well, duh. We have a lot to offer for the gift givers this season:

• Gift Certificates: we will customize a gift certifcate for that someone special, from personal training to classes to nutrition counseling, we offering all things to help the loved one with the NEw Year’s Resolution
• Heart Monitors: If you ever wander into the Guru, you’ll notice that everyone is wearing a heart  monitor. IT’s not because we are a particularly high risk group. It’s because we want to get the most out of our exercise time, and the best way to do that is with a monitor. And we carry several styles of Polar brand heart monitors here at the Studio. Just speak to the Front Desk!
• Fitness Guru Gear: Nothing says “fitness” like having a little guru blazing on your t-shirt. Check out the Studio or online store for recent additions to our clothing line!
