Prana Yoga Miami: Miami offers numerous yoga class options, but the Prana Yoga Center has been a Sanctuary in the "heart of Coral Gables" for the last 10 years. The mission is to provide an opportunity for you to release daily stress while toning your body, quietening your mind, and refreshing your spirit. Through authentic teachings, they aim to help people reach their full potential both physically and spiritually, offer more than a dozen workshops, and have added a selection of massages to enhance the overall experience. Prana offers Kundalini, which balances the glandular system, strengthens the nervous system, and enables people to harness the energy of the mind and the emotions, so that they can be in control of themselves, rather than being controlled by their thoughts and feelings. A deeper understanding of yoga is at hand at Prana Yoga Miami. Prana Yoga Miami 247 Malaga Ave., Coral Gables (305) 567-9812 www.pranayogamiami.com The Gym at the Fontainebleau: If yoga sounds too laid back, how about a billion- dollar workout? There are not a lot of places in Miami that can hold a candle to the historical Fontainebleau. In 2008, it reopened its doors after a billion-dollar renovation, reigniting the excitement and the frenzy it became famous for. The Gym at the Fontainebleau is a 5,800-square-foot work of art that overlooks the freeform bow-tie pool, the Ocean Lawn, and the Atlantic Ocean. Cardio equipment options include Life Fitness treadmills with multi-language capability and fully integrated screens. Cross-trainers will engage the upper body and arms and simultaneously exercise legs, hips, and abdominals. Guests interested in weight training can go use the Cybex Eagle, a full circuit of selectorized strength equipment. Personal trainers are also available for one-on-one sessions. The Gym at the Fontainebleau Resort 4441 Collins Ave., Miami Beach (305) 538-2000 www.fontainebleau.com Shuichi Take Fitness: The 11,000- square-foot, Asian-inspired Shuichi Take Fitness Club in Midtown Miami offers a feng shui setting and is surrounded by amazing skyline views of Miami Beach. When the day came for the company to open its doors, Miami paid attention. Shuichi Take Fitness isn't shy about bringing the latest in technology to help clients pick their best fitness programs. In addition to creating custom health and fitness solutions designed to meet individuals' needs, they offer their clients an interactive Website where they can create individualized programs to record data, track results, and get customized meal plans and workouts. There is also an array of classes offered every week including spinning, yoga, Pilates, and tai chi. Shuichi Take Fitness Club 3250 NE 1st Ave. #504, Miami (305) 856-4588 www.shuichitakefitness.com Fight Club Miami: Despite its name, this isn't the Miami version of the movie starring Brad Pitt. Fight Club is a fitness, lifestyle, and entertainment complex that revolves around boxing, kickboxing, and martial arts. Though they are technically teaching you how to fight, hence the name of the gym, Fight Club shows clients the benefits of learning these various art forms. The 11,000-square-foot facility features several central stage-like boxing rings and a wide selection of the latest resistance training, cardiovascular equipment, qualified personal trainers, supervised sparring, comprehensive group exercise classes, and many additional amenities to make experiences fruitful and enjoyable. It's unlikely that you will have Jet-Li skills or discover a second personality, but like it says on the Website, what won't kill you will make you stronger.
