‍Mimi Yoga Studio, the multi-award-winning infrared heated yoga and Pilates studio in Wynwood, opens its second location at 2829 Bird Ave in Coconut Grove today. This expansion, coming just two years after the opening of the first studio, underscores the rapid success of founder Mimi Ghandour's vision.

"Our goal is to provide a welcoming environment for practitioners of all levels and a home for the ever-growing Mimi Yoga Community," says Ghandour. "Our growth and success has surpassed my wildest dreams, and I am grateful this expansion will allow us to introduce even more people to the life-changing practice of yoga.”

The new Coconut Grove studio will offer a variety of heated yoga classes, including power, vinyasa, and restorative flows, as well as Yogilates and traditional mat Pilates classes. In addition, one non-heated class will be offered weekly. Classes are designed for students of all levels, honoring Ghandour's belief that yoga is for the willing.

The new studio maintains Mimi Yoga's commitment to a luxurious experience and is designed to evoke a sense of tranquility. The Coconut Grove studio features natural elements with a contemporary twist, arches, and mermaid blue-hued tiled accents, and the brand's signature "Just Show Up" mirror in the reception area, which is sure to become the signature selfie spot just like it has in the Wynwood studio. The reception and retail areas include ample lockers and cubbies for students to store their belongings. There are two restrooms, each with a shower and well-stocked amenities.

The yoga room features two entrances framed by natural wood arches with frosted glass doors. Inside, deep aquamarine floors complement ombre ocean-blue walls, creating a serene atmosphere that allows up to 50 students to focus on their practice, dive deep, and go within. Floating arch-shaped LED illuminated mirrors in the space serve the dual purpose of allowing students to check their form while enhancing the vibe.

Students will find mats and towels available for rent, and each class concludes with a complimentary cold towel infused with Mimi Yoga's signature rose scent placed on students’ foreheads during final resting pose. Pilates props such as Bala bangles, Pilates Rings, Pilates Balls, and more are complimentary for those style classes.

The studio will also serve as a home for Mimi Yoga Teacher Trainings. The first 50-hour Mat Pilates Training with Master Instructor Starr Hawkins will begin on October 19, 2024. Mimi Yoga Teacher Training has graduated more than 400 yoga teachers via its 200-Hour Yoga-Alliance accredited training program.

The class schedule and pricing can be found on MimiYoga.com, and classes can be booked through MindBodyApp. Mimi Yoga is also on ClassPass. Follow @mimiyogastudio and @mimiyoga_official on Instagram for more details.

Gone are the days of waiting in cold clinics with long wait times to know why you're feeling tired or lost your purpose for life.

This immediate insight sets the stage for faster outcomes and personalized care.

Gameday is committed to providing patients with frictionless appointments, immediate results, and a comfortable, discreet environment. The core services Gameday offers include testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), weight loss programs, and peptide therapies. Not only can these improve muscle mass and overall health, but there are also programs designed to improve performance in the bedroom.

The environment at Gameday is designed with comfort in mind, resembling a boutique fitness studio rather than a traditional medical clinic. The space features big-screen TVs, plush leather chairs, and refreshments, ensuring that every visit is as enjoyable as it is beneficial.

Gameday Men’s Health’s mission is to provide men with the tools they need to make significant life changes, all while feeling comfortable and supported.

Miami Beach's vibrant fitness community just got a major upgrade with the opening of Megaformer Studio at 1759 Bay Road in Sunset Harbour. This new addition to the neighborhood comes straight from Los Angeles—it's the brainchild of fitness visionary Sebastien Lagree, the man behind the revolutionary Megaformer machine.

Megaformer utilizes the Lagree Method, which is a game-changer for anyone seeking full-body transformation. A 50-minute session is designed to push you to your limits with high-intensity, low-impact movements that are as challenging as they are effective. By engaging every major muscle group and keeping your heart rate elevated, this workout promises rapid results, all while protecting your joints from undue stress.

Central to the experience is the Megaformer itself, a sophisticated piece of equipment that uses springs and a moving carriage to create counter-resistance. This setup allows for slow, controlled movements that drive your muscles to the point of fatigue, maximizing strength and endurance while burning fat. Unlike other workouts that rely on speed and momentum, the Megaformer emphasizes a deliberate pace, which targets slow-twitch muscle fibers to sculpt lean muscle.

But the Megaformer isn't just about physical transformation—it's a dynamic tool that allows instructors to continuously evolve the workout. Whether you're looking to improve core strength, flexibility, or overall body composition, this workout has something for everyone.

Ready to see what the hype is all about? Megaformer Studio offers a range of class options and membership packages to fit your lifestyle. Plus, mark your calendar for Saturday, September 7 when the studio is hosting a grand opening party where Sebastien Lagree himself will be teaching a class. This is your chance to experience the Megaformer difference firsthand and kickstart your fitness journey.

Studio Three unites three of the most popular fitness modalities, interval training, cycling, yoga with three dedicated studios under one roof. Founded in Chicago, Studio Three's latest studio in Wynwood is their fifth location in the U.S.

“We are thrilled to open our first Miami studio and welcome this vibrant community with open arms,” said CEO David Blitz. “The unmatched energy of this city naturally embodies the same energy of Studio Three. This expansion represents a natural progression for the company, which is poised for continued growth throughout major U.S. cities in the years ahead.” 

Each studio in the 9,000-square-foot space cultivates a mood tailored to the specific fitness modality:

• Interval - The interval studio, crafted for workouts centered on timed bursts of energy, features rowers, treadmills, custom-designed S3 benches, and weights. Linear lighting with deep electric blue sets the mood for an upbeat workout.
• Cycle - The rounded cycle theater focuses the rider's attention on the instructor. S3 Cycle is designed to build endurance, speed and overall body strength. Each class is unique featuring best-in-class choreography, dramatic lighting effects and feel-it-in-your-soul playlists – creating the ultimate motivational experience.
• Yoga - In this studio, a soft glow envelops yogis from all angles inviting them to indulge in their choice of Yoga Flow or Yoga Strength classes. Featuring custom mats, weights, bands, blocks and other accessories, the space was designed to accommodate both formats. Offering the options of 3x3 - a controlled, 45-minute class in a moderately heated room;  Hi-Def - an intense, full body workout; or Inferno 50 - a 50-minute, yoga strength-inspired class in a heated room set to 90 degrees, the choices are endless. 

Some of the amenities at Studio Three include 90-minutes of validated parking, complimentary cycle shoes, yoga mats, and towel service, and locker rooms with showers and dressing areas complete with Dyson blow-dry stations and grooming products.

"After more than a decade as a group fitness coach and personal trainer in both Chicago and Miami, I know this city is ready for the heat that Studio Three is going to bring to Wynwood, said Jerry Yudt, Director of Fitness at Studio Three Miami. “The level of energy, inclusivity and community that comes along with the Studio Three experience is unlike any studio in Miami. The group fitness game is about to level up."

For a limited time, guests can lock in a founding membership for $199 a month with unlimited access to all classes at any U.S. studio, exclusive VIP merchandise, as well as 25 first-time guest passes. Also available are individual drop-in classes, pre-purchased class packs, and corporate and residential membership packages for local businesses and residential communities.

Studio Three Miami is located on the ground level of the Artem residences at 90 NW 29 Street in Wynwood. For more information and details on Miami membership plans and class times, visit www.studiothree.com and follow at @studiothree.

Following much anticipation and excitement, SOL Yoga, known for its stunning studios, infrared-heated workout, and yoga classes, has finally opened its doors in the heart of Sunset Harbour. Located at 1811 Purdy Ave, the completely renovated space also has a smoothie bar and lifestyle boutique with cryotherapy soon to be offered.

“I truly believe today more than ever, we need more places like SOL Yoga that give us a sense of community and connection," said founder Catherine DeFrancesco. "For years, I’ve wanted to open a SOL in Sunset, as I just love the neighborhood and its variety of eclectic businesses.”

DeFrancesco calls yoga the 'secret of life', hence the name SOL, and her mission is to give people a place to elevate their health, to connect with others, and to ultimately live their best life.

The new location in Sunset Harbour spans over 3,500 square feet and has been completely renovated to include amenities such as showers, lockers, a smoothie bar, lifestyle boutique, and a cryotherapy chamber to be revealed soon.  

While the original SOL Yoga in Wynwood is now closed for further construction, the Fort Lauderdale location – and now Sunset Harbour - are just the start for this thriving brand, with more expansions underway.  

Unlike traditional ‘hot yoga’, infrared heat gently warms the body during classes at SOL, penetrating deep into your cells causing the release of stored toxins while increasing circulation, fat burning and immunity.

Led by some of Miami’s most sought after instructors, SOL Yoga offers an array of their signature yoga and workout classes that includes SOL Flow, Power, Hot Pilates and Sculpt, offering something for everyone at any level.

To celebrate the grand opening of Sunset Harbour, SOL Yoga is offering free classes all week long. There’s also a Founder’s Special with class packages at their lowest (best) prices for a limited time.

We202 EMS is now open in Aventura, the studio's second location in South Florida. Their wireless electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) classes offer a high-end fitness concept perfect for anyone looking to get in shape, rehabilitate from an injury, or improve overall health without having to compromise their busy schedule. Learn all about We202 below!

‍The experience:

With We202, traditional workouts are a thing of the past. We202’s wireless EMS technology differs from other EMS fitness concepts in that it’s completely wireless, allowing users to have full freedom of movement during their workout. Each client is given a wireless EMS powersuit that is meant to fit like a second skin and is the real star of the workout. Your powersuit includes 20 pads that sit on top of 20 large muscles. These pads have very low voltage electrodes, that when activated by the trainer transmit EMS impulses to the muscles causing them to contract involuntarily.

"Our workout classes provide customers with something that is completely unique," said Dr. Juan Castillo, Medical Director of We202. "Our wireless powersuits give you complete freedom of movement, allowing you to workout in small groups of up to 8 people and be part of our WE community. The benefits of adding EMS to your workouts are substantial. Our clients not only achieve physical body changes in significantly less time than traditional training, but also experience a vast number of health and wellness improvements that are life changing.  Our technology driven workouts allow you to achieve a full body workout in just 20 minutes in each class."

A concept that began in Europe and is now used by pro-athletes around the world, EMS simultaneously activates 95% of all muscle fibers in the body, bypassing the brain and sending involuntary impulses that cause the muscles to contract and relax safely.

We202’s concept allows you to work smarter, not harder, but providing all the benefits of conventional exercise and more, without having to spend hours at the gym. The workout takes just 20 minutes, 2 times per week, hence the name We202. Trainers take members through a 30 minute class, which includes a 5 minute warm up, 20 minute workout and 5 minute cooldown. Each person's EMS frequency and intensity is customized to their goals and fitness level.

What makes We202 unique:

“In a world where technology is so prevalent in making our lives easier, why not use this technology to improve our overall fitness needs," said Elizabeth Castillo. “Our goal is to provide a way to enhance one’s quality of life in this fast-paced moving world where people don't spend enough time on their own personal wellness. People are sacrificing their own wellness at the expense of their busy schedules and it’s time for that to change."

What do members say?

Members love receiving all the benefits of an intense workout in just 30 minutes.  Each 30 minute class gives you results comparable to 2-3 hours of conventional training and you can start to see results within 3 to 4 training sessions. Not only do members experience changes in their body's appearance, but they also experience significant improvements in their overall health including decreased body aches and pain, improved circulation and flexibility, greater balance and coordination, and an increased ability to perform everyday tasks.

You should also know:

At We202 each class is personalized and intimate. The frequency and intensity of each person’s impulses are based on their training level and are controlled by a certified EMS trainer. This makes We202 a great option for people of all ages and fitness levels. With We202’s state-of-the-art fitness software program, trainers can execute personalized training content for up to 10 different trainees at once.

Their facilities provide showers, lockers, and changing areas. There is ample and easy parking. Additionally, We202 offers medical wellness services including IV nutrition, weight loss/control, bio-identical hormones, peptide therapy, and nutraceuticals.

‍How to join in:‍

We202 offers drop-in classes, class packages, and monthly memberships. Monthly memberships include either 5 or 9 EMS classes per month. They also offer complimentary trial classes to experience their wireless EMS workout first hand. This allows you to fully understand the concept and all of the benefits that wireless EMS training can bring to your life.

Location: 

We202 is located at 18725 Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 350, in Aventura. They also have a location at 17886 NW 2nd Street in Pembroke Pines.

Are you ready to Break Free?! Break Free Movement celebrated their grand opening this month in Coral Gables and are looking forward to welcoming you in for a class.

‍The experience:

Break Free Movement is a powerful and liberating experience that means to cast off the chains of oppression, to take control of one's own life, and to be free to make choices and decisions that are in alignment with one's own values and beliefs. It is an empowering process that can lead to a greater sense of self-confidence and self-worth.

Their classes range from aerial fitness to heated ground yoga, Pilates, Core Flex, Sculpt, HIIT, and even R&B and hip-hop yoga.

"Breaking free means getting out of your own way," said owner Monica Del Valle. "It means not allowing limited beliefs to define who you are, it means overcoming obstacles and not letting those experiences paralyze you. Breaking free is at times letting go of attachments, attachments to believes that no longer serve you. And we are here for all of it!"

What makes Break Free Movement unique:

They are the first studio in South Florida to provide, hot yoga and aerial fitness as the two main modalities. They also take pride in being a movement conscious space with a wide variety of classes for every body type, because they believe in breaking free of the norm.
