Local with Lindsay | Fuego House of Dance

I stopped by Fuego House of Dance to attend their Zumba fitness class. It was REGGAE night and since my dreadlocks and multi-colored hat were at the cleaners, I opted for an all-black ensemble. I have to say, from the moment I walked in, the energy was just addicting! People around me were laughing & talking vivaciously with their friends while we were waiting for the class to begin. And then it began. WOW! Talk about some serious FUN. The moment Shelley & Heidi stepped on their stage, the room went positively WILD!
I had to to pinch myself to see if I was really at an exercise class or a PARTY. It was not your mama's jazzercise, that's for dang sure. It was a party and a half and I didn't want it to end!

Shelley & Heidi say from day one, their students have always been the MOST important thing. They wanted to create a place where people could come feel comfortable, important, happy, get healthy and that they could afford.  They love to dance and have seen 150 lbs melt away between Heidi and Shelley .

 

They offer  Zumba, Belly Dancing, Insane Fit, Polynesian Dancing , Acting ,Jazz, Ballet ,Power Tap , Hip Hop, Pole Dancing and Cheer (they are the only studio in Southern Utah to have a Sunday Zumba class.), Event/ Theme nights, tons of community performances and they know everyone by name!!

Their most popular class is Zumba with Insane Fit and Hip Hop growing like crazy.

Local with Lindsay | Review of PERKS! Espresso & Smoothies

By Lindsay Vandermyde


Need a little pick-me-up?

Then you need to head over to PERKS! Espresso & Smoothies. Right. NOW!

Not only do they have a million coffee and coffee-free options and variations of iced, hot, and blended drinks, they have wonderful fruit smoothies you can put in boosters like "Hangover" or "Women's Blend"--and for the daring super-healthy..."Wheat Grass."

In my trip to their Sunset location (they have 3--Sunset, Harmon's Parking Lot, and Rite Aid Parking lot), I enjoyed a delicious "Chunky Monkey" and a Greek Turkey Wrap. The wrap was full of flavor and the ingredients that went inside of it (turkey, lettuce, olives, zippy dressing, wonderfulness...) felt very fresh and very healthy. The Chunky Monkey sent my taste buds spinning and I could hear them calling for "More, More!" Give me anything topped with whipped cream and you pretty much own me...!

 The Owner of PERKS!, Lori Hanna, used to work in law enforcement and developed a love for coffee. An opportunity presented itself to start PERKS!, and ever since she has continued to put her heart and soul into quality ingredients and a vibrant customer experience. She realizes that life is busy, so she wanted to create a place where people on the go can still have their coffee or drinks, without sacrificing flavor and quality. The Sunset location still maintains a drive-through for that very purpose, but also offers a cool, "Friends" (tv show) kind of atmosphere if you want to just hang out with your buddies or curl up on one of their cushy seats with a good book. It's very possible you might see Phoebe singing "Smelly Cat" in the corner or Ross and Rachel on the sofa. Possible. But not likely. But you may see Lori, and that's even better!

Stop by PERKS! Espresso & Smoothies.  They make YOUR drink YOUR way.
