‍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.

In just 10 years since its founding in 2014, Vale has grown into a beloved brand known for its commitment to health, sustainability and community. The name “Vale,” rooted in the concept of “living an earthly life,” reflects the brand’s dedication to offering high-quality, health-conscious dining, available in its newest Delray Beach location set to officially open Friday, September 6.

“Reaching our 10th location in Florida is a remarkable milestone for Vale, and opening in Delray Beach represents a significant achievement in our journey,” said Sunny Ilyas, CEO and Founder of Vale. “As we celebrate a decade of growth, we’re excited to bring our unique blend of health-conscious dining to Delray Beach. This new location represents more than just expansion; it’s a testament to our growth and innovation while continuing to serve and connect with our valued customers.

The interior boasts a modern twist on Vale’s signature style, featuring earthy tones, sleek furnishings and eye-catching artwork. The 25-seat dining area showcases elegant white and black marble tables highlighted with touches of gold and green, complemented by tropical motifs and comfortable lounge areas. The restaurant extends outdoors with a cozy patio featuring 10 additional seats, perfect for enjoying meals al fresco. True to Vale’s aesthetic, the restaurant is adorned with an array of greenery, succulents, and hanging plants, creating a lush and inviting atmosphere. A hand-painted mural with the mantra ‘Vale: to live an earthly life’ adds a colorful and personal touch to the space.

Vale’s menu offers a diverse selection of health-forward dishes, including açai bowls, poke bowls, and avocado toasts at the cold ‘superfood’ station; build-your-own protein bowls and signature salads at the ‘hot food’ station; and a range of grab-and-go snacks and bakery items, such as freshly baked whole grain chocolate chip cookies. The full beverage program features coffee, matcha, and smoothies. Designed for enjoyment throughout the day, the menu caters to all, including families and kids. Superfood highlights include Smashed Avocado Toast; Chia Pudding; Spicy Tuna Poke Bowl; Açai Smoothie; Dragonfruit Lemonade; and the Vale Matcha Latte.

At the hot food station, guests can create their own protein bowls with a variety of bases, vegetables, proteins, boosts and sauces.

Signature bowls include: the Sweet Earth Bowl made with sweet potato noodles, roasted broccoli, teriyaki chicken and curry honey mustard; Out of This World Bowl with cilantro lime brown rice, roasted broccoli, ancho pulled chicken topped with chipotle ranch; and the Great South Bowl with chipotle mac and cheese, roasted broccoli and braised beef.

Gameday Men’s Health is thrilled to announce its new Aventura and Delray Beach locations dedicated to helping men overcome the challenges of aging which can begin as early as in their 30s. Gameday’s passion is empowering men to regain their energy and libido, repair injuries, and build muscle and lose weight. 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.

One of the standout features of Gameday is its in-house lab, which delivers initial blood test results within 20 minutes. Because of this, patients engage in a rich conversation with the Clinic Director during the very first appointment, discussing both how they feel and what their blood markers are saying. 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. Whether you’re looking to boost your energy levels, enhance your focus, or improve your overall health, Gameday Men’s Health in Aventura and Delray Beach are here to help you be the guy you were always meant to be.

Gameday is located at 20801 Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 303, in Aventura, and 15340 Jog Road, Suite 208, in Delray Beach. Learn more at gamedaymenshealth.com or find them on Instagram at @gameday_aventura and @gameday_delraybeach.

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.

When Vale Pinecrest opens its doors on July 31, it will be the ninth Florida location for Vale. Located at 9537 South Dixie Highway in Pinecrest, the newest location will be open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily with a health-conscious dining experience featuring high-quality protein, açai, and poke bowls, and complemented by a diverse selection of beverages and bakery items.

“Launching our ninth Vale location and inaugural venture into South Miami, marks an exhilarating milestone for our brand,” said Sunny Ilyas, CEO and Founder of Vale. “With each success story from our existing Florida locations, the demand for health-conscious dining experiences has only amplifed and we’re thrilled to bring our unique blend of fresh, innovative cuisine to the heart of this vibrant community. This expansion reflects the root of Vale’s inception, providing healthy, high-quality and good-for-you dining options while fostering meaningful connections within the community.”

The 2,000-square-foot restaurant has a 27-seat dining room, and guests can settle in at stylish white and black marble tables accented by splashes of gold and green, amidst tropical motifs and inviting lounge spaces. Echoing the design of other Vale locations, the restaurant is adorned with a blend of greenery, succulents, and hanging plants, providing picturesque backdrops while embodying Vale’s dedication to wholesome, sustainable dining. A hand-painted mural bearing the mantra ‘Vale: to live an earthly life’ adds a pop of color to the space. A welcoming outdoor patio features a cozy atmosphere ideal for refueling, working, or simply savoring a meal at any time of the day.

In 2014, Sunny Ilyas embarked on a culinary venture with Vale, initially launching it as a meal delivery service catering to college students. Motivated by strong demand and buzz, he pivoted the brand into a fast-casual restaurant concept. The first Vale Food Co location opened in Tallahassee in 2016, with a mission to offer college students quick, affordable and good-for-you healthy food. In 2022, the brand made its inaugural debut in South Florida in Miami followed by its most recent debut in Boca Raton. Ilyas was recently recognized as one of QSR's Young Restaurant Leaders to Watch. Today, he leads the brand, pioneering new recipes and curating the catering program across all locations.

The name “Vale”, derived from an old English word meaning "Earthly", has been reimagined by Vale to encapsulate the ethos of “living an earthly life,” reflecting the brand's commitment to health, quality food, sustainability and community. Vale brings its health-conscious dining experience featuring high-quality protein, açai, and poke bowls, complemented by a diverse selection of beverages and bakery items.

Vale’s menu features a range of healthy-forward dishes like açai bowls, poke bowls and avocado toasts found at its cold ‘superfood’ station; build-your-own protein bowls and signature salads at the ‘hot food’ station; a selection of grab-and-go snacks and bakery items like popular freshly baked whole grain chocolate chip cookies complemented by a full beverage program with coffee, matcha and smoothies. The menu is designed to enjoy all day long and offers a variety of items for everyone including families and kids. The Pinecrest restaurant will be the first location to debut the signature wraps and breakfast burrito menu offerings.

The hot food station consists of build-your-own protein bowls where guests can customize the bases and add on a variety of veggies, proteins, boosts and sauces. Classic and fan-favorite proteins include Vale’s signature turkey spinach feta meatballs, southwest braised beef, ancho pulled chicken among others. Signature bowls include: the Sweet Earth Bowl made with sweet potato noodles, roasted broccoli, teriyaki chicken and curry honey mustard; Out of This World Bowl with cilantro lime brown rice, roasted broccoli, ancho pulled chicken topped with chipotle ranch; and the Great South Bowl with chipotle mac and cheese, roasted broccoli and braised beef. Signature salads are also available like the Buffalo Chicken Salad; The Vale Kale Cobb; and Avocado Greens Salad. All ingredients are sourced from local farms and menu items rotate seasonally with a selection of vegan and gluten-free options.

Vale Pinecrest is joining three locations already open in South Florida - Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Boca Raton. For more information, visit www.ValeFoodCo.com or call 786-636-8887.

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.
