    SMU Dallas grad spins modern new fitness studio into bustling lakeside location

    Stephanie Allmon Merry

    A new fitness studio in the Dallas 'burbs was built with the most critical design feature of 2021 in mind: fresh air. Hustle Studios is a locally owned, multidiscipline boutique gym designed for clients to get their sweat on, indoors or out.

    The 4,600-square-foot studio opened January 16 in a prime waterfront location at Coppell's bustling new Sound in Cypress Waters development. Inside, clients can do indoor cycling, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and stretching. Then they can move through the modern glass-panel doors and enjoy outdoor classes overlooking the lake.

    SMU graduate Rachael Larson Daniel founded Hustle Studios and tapped Barbara Chancey Design Group, a Dallas-based international boutique specialty firm, to design it.

    A release calls Hustle Studios "a playground for the senses," explaining that dramatic interiors were inspired by the local culture, paying careful attention to lighting and composition. The studio includes spacious locker rooms, blow-dry bars, showers, antimicrobial lockers, HVAC with maximum fresh air intake, touchless sanitization, and generous, welcoming social spaces.

    But we're not there to hang out. We're there to work out. So, what of the classes?

    "Hustle Studios is a premium boutique fitness destination offering exhilarating and effective workouts," Daniel says. "We have three fitness concepts under one roof for all levels and abilities: Ride. Hustle. Restore. Ride is our rhythmic indoor cycling class, Hustle is our strength-based circuit training workout, and Restore is our mobility/yoga concept."

    They aim to provide classes that are paramount to building an athlete — cardio, strength, and mobility, she says — while giving clients individualized attention and new programming each time they come in.

    "We’ve been incredibly intentional with the team we’ve brought on to guarantee a consistent and challenging experience for our members," she says. "As a mom with one on the way, I can truly say these classes are for everybody."

    Notably, Daniel collaborated with Sharif Abboud of Evolve in downtown Dallas (and former head trainer for the Dallas Mavericks Dancers) to develop the Hustle program. She has just added a Hustle60 class, "so if you love his Evolve classes but are in the suburbs, this one is for you," she says.

    Hustle Studios offers both class packs (starting at $50) and memberships, including a current Founding Membership ($175 per month) that includes guest passes, discounts on retail, and more. Individual classes are $25 each. More information on pricing can be found here, and COVID-19 protocols can be found here.

    Beyond the gym and the classes, though, Daniel hopes Hustle Studios will help build community in a time when it's needed most. Founded on the principle that giving back is essential for a meaningful life, she says, exciting charitable initiatives are in the works to support local nonprofits and promote the healthy benefits of movement and music.

    "Hustle Studios is a family vested in each other's success and joined by a passion to make Coppell a happier, healthier place," she says. "It's an honor to introduce this new fitness concept and serve my hometown and community I love."

    Hustle Studios is at 3121 Olympus Blvd., Suite 150, Coppell. For more information, visit the website.

    Texas cruises to middle of 2026 ranking of best states for drivers

    Texas lands right in the middle as the 26th best state for drivers

    Texas residents love to debate which cities have the best — and worst — drivers in our own state, but which states boast the best conditions for drivers overall? As it turns out, Texas is only average.

    SmartAsset's new study "Best and Worst States for Drivers" ranked states based on auto insurance premiums as a share of annual household income, the price of a 15-gallon tank of gas as a share of weekly household income, traffic fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles traveled, and the share of interstate highway pavement rated "good."

    Texas ties with Colorado as the 26th best state for drivers. Massachusetts tops the list.

    According to the report's findings, 65 percent of Texas' interstate highways are in "good condition," and there are about 1.2 auto fatalities per 100 million miles traveled in the state.

    Additionally, the cost of a 15-gallon tank of gas in Texas represents 3.47 percent of a resident's median weekly income, and insurance premiums eat up 2.05 percent of earnings, the study calculated.

    Considering how much gas prices have soared over the last several months, commuting to work or driving around town is taking a bigger chunk out of Texas residents' wallets than it was before. At least Dallasites have DART to get around the city, and shuttle services like Shutto or Vonlane for traveling to other Texas cities.

    "Between loan payments, maintenance, fuel and auto insurance, the cost of owning and operating a vehicle now averages more than $11,000 per year," the report said. "Even as U.S. cities and counties increase investment in public transportation, more than 90% of American households own or lease at least one vehicle."

    For comparison, South Dakota has better quality interstate highways than the rest of the nation – at 84 percent – while only 15 percent of Hawaii's highways are in good condition. Rhode Island has the lowest auto fatality rate in the U.S. at 0.5 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled, and West Virginia has the highest auto fatality rate at 1.6 deaths.

    After Massachusetts, the remaining top 10 best states for drivers are Minnesota (No. 2); New Jersey and North Dakota (tied for No. 3); Utah (No. 5); Connecticut (No. 6); New Hampshire (No. 7); Wisconsin (No. 8); and Indiana and South Dakota (tied for No. 9).

    You might want to pump the brakes in the 10 worst states for drivers: Louisiana (No. 50); Mississippi (No. 49); Hawaii and West Virginia (tied for No. 47); Montana (No. 46); Arizona and Oregon (tied for No. 44); Maine (No. 43); New Mexico (No. 42); and Arkansas (No. 41).
