    Get Ready to Get Fit

    This Uptown Dallas hot spot is all you need to get the body you want

    Getting fit can mean running all over town from gym to spa, juice joint to healthy food store. This might add extra steps on your Fitbit, but it sure is a hassle.

    Skip the bother and make West Village your only stop. At this upscale Uptown Dallas shopping and lifestyle destination, you’ll find all the fitness-related businesses you need in one location.

    Eat well
    The art of nourishment is elevated at Brewed + Pressed. Load up on 100 percent organic and raw-pressed juices; tonics, shakes, and nondairy milks; Stumptown coffee; and plant foods. After a hard workout, our favorite drink is the white shake, made with activated almond milk, frozen banana, tocos, coconut butter, maca, and pine pollen.

    Exercise is just one component of healthy living, so Simply Fit Meals is an essential destination. These ready-to-go meals get you going. It offers 40 to 50 options on a rotating menu, so you’ll always have fresh, enticing fare.

    Get your juice on at Buda Juice, where their organic, cold-pressed juices are never processed or pasteurized to maintain maximum nutrients, enzymes, and vitamins. In addition to juices, they offer the popular Buda cleanse, a one-, three- or five-day program that replaces normal meals with four signature cold-pressed juices, raw soup, and Buda almond milk.

    Look good
    Of course, you’ll need something to wear for your workouts. The Gap brand has expanded with Gap Fit, a line of activewear designed for high-performance and coordinated style. Pair their cross train capris with the Breathe tie-back tank, or the G-stride shorts with a Coolmax layer shelf tank, and you’ll be the talk of Katy Trail.

    You should also head to Lorna Jane for activewear made by the woman who coined the phrase over 25 years ago. This Aussie brand, founded by Lorna Jane Clarkson in 1989, has transformed the industry with its stylish threads. She’s the most awarded fashion designer of activewear for a reason: these are some fashionable workout clothes. Think designer details like a lightweight open mesh panel top paired with performance fabric that skims the torso; socialite sports bras that keep you sleek even when sweating; and a shimmer high-tech legging with diagonal mesh paneling. These are clothes you won’t want to take off even after you get home.

    Work out hard
    After you’re fueled up and dressed for success, the hard work begins. Indoor spin studioSoulCycle is all the rage in New York City and LA, and the business is expanding to West Village by the end of 2016. The 45-minute, fat-burning, full-body workout incorporates hand weights and core work, and the choreography keeps you on your toes. SoulCycle is the signature class; for more sweat and results, take the SoulSurvivor class. It’s amazing what 15 more minutes can do.

    Get sculpted and firm with the 8 Method at InCinR8 Fitness Studio. Owner Danny Connolly is a nationally recognized fitness expert who created the method. It relies on sculpting and strengthening techniques combined with eight-minute intervals of optimum aerobic activity to change bodies from flabby or flat to fab and fit. InCinR8 offers multiple classes per day.

    Another option is West Village’s BuiltCo. Using a five-part system of workouts, food, supplements, cardio, and recovery, owner and athlete Miguel Martinez transformed himself into a hard body — and you can too. Find your own fast and impressive results at this fitness center, where nationally recognized and certified personal trainers get remarkable results with clients.

    Founded by dancer, choreographer, and fitness guru Carrie Rezabek Dorr, Pure Barre is the largest, most established barre franchise in the country. It has more than 375 locations — and growing. The West Village outpost is hopping with people performing small, isometric movements to burn fat; sculpt muscles; and create long, lean physiques.

    Relax and restore
    Every great workout deserves a reward, and what could be nicer than a visit to Massage Envy? The West Village location of this popular chain offers one-, one-and-a-half-, and two-hour massages on your schedule, in a spa environment that maximizes relaxation. Custom massage types include trigger point therapy, reflexology, cranial sacral therapy, Swedish, deep tissue, and sports.

    You can also take care of your newly rockin’ bod at Spa Habitat, which offers a large variety of luxe spa services in a relaxing environment. You won’t find any artificial fragrance, color, or harmful chemicals or preservatives in the products; they’re all organic and natural. We love the generation green facial, featuring wrinkle-fighting cape jasmine stem cells, antioxidants, Brazilian acai oil, and firming dark chocolate.

    Texas governor intercedes with last-minute save on sales of THC

    The Texas cannabis industry is safe.

    Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vetoed a bill Sunday to ban all THC consumables, allowing the booming market flush with THC-infused vapes, gummies and other products to continue to be sold across the state.

    Abbott, a Republican, waited until the final moment to veto the bill in what would have been one of the most restrictive THC bans in the country and a significant blow to the state’s billion-dollar industry.

    The law would have made it a misdemeanor to own, manufacture, or sell consumable THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, products and was the latest push by states to regulate THC after a 2018 federal law allowed states to regulate hemp, a similar plant to marijuana that can be synthetically processed to produce THC, the compound giving marijuana its psychoactive properties.

    Loopholes in existing law have allowed many THC-infused goods to enter the market across the country, including states with strict marijuana laws.

    Texas has some of the strictest marijuana laws in the country, prohibiting all recreational use and providing a limited medical marijuana program. The consumables market has allowed residents to legally access goods giving a similar high to marijuana.

    Republican lawmakers have criticized the products as dangerous due to a lack of federal oversight in how the goods are manufactured. Texas’ ban is one of the more far-reaching among states that have taken similar steps. Several states, including California, have imposed age limits and restrictions on the potency of THC products.

    Critics of the Texas bill say it allows people who cannot access marijuana through the state’s medical marijuana program to acquire goods that can provide a similar relief. Many retailers across the state also pointed to the thousands of jobs and millions in revenue the industry brings each year.

    Last year, Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed a bill that would have put age restrictions on THC consumables, claiming it would hurt small businesses.
