Spin Your Heart Out

Feel the burn and like it at this one-of-a-kind Dallas cycling studio

Balance, dedication, fun – there’s something to be said for a workout that makes you feel good about yourself. That’s why North Texans are flocking to ZYN22, a new boutique fitness facility that provides a unique form of sweat therapy.

Blending the techniques of indoor cycling with the philosophy of yoga and the artistry of dance, ZYN22 gives students a whole-body workout that combines cardio and weight training, to strengthen body and mind. Led by ZYNsei Denis Morton — an athlete who has done everything from college football and indoor cycling (ever heard of SoulCycle?) to aerial acrobatics and yoga instruction — the dynamic team at ZYN22 strives to give you an incredible workout that delivers a burn and leaves you smiling and feeling motivated.

ZYN22 has recruited outstanding athletes and fitness professionals as instructors who plan each class individually, so you’re guaranteed to get a different workout every time you visit, with new music and a unique series of moves that get the class swaying together in no time. Although the moves will begin to feel familiar after a few visits, a workout at ZYN22 is anything but routine.

Riders have co-founder Melissa Page to thank for that. She is not only a fitness fanatic like Morton, but she also is a longtime high-kick dancer. As the drill team director at Southlake Carroll for 20 years, Page knows how to put together a routine, and her passion for dance is clear in the synchronicity of a ZYN22 class. She and husband Mark Page founded ZYN22 in January 2015 to not only give riders a great workout, but also to inspire them to achieve their very best, and riders love it.

With two studio locations already open — one in Fort Worth, the other in Dallas on Park Lane — ZYN22 is set to open locations in Southlake and Turtle Creek Village early next year. Pop by one of the studios for a ride and do something good for your body and mind.

Speeding ticket news

Gotta watch out for speed traps in Texas.

The next time you’re tempted to push past the speed limit on your Texas road trip or your commute to work, think about the risk to your life — and your bank account.

A new ranking from the FinanceBuzz website shows that when comparing all 50 states and the District of Columbia, Texas motorists pay the fourth highest amount in fines and court costs for going either 10 mph or 15 mph over the speed limit.

For a 10 mph-over-the-limit violation in Texas, the average fine and court costs total $223, according to FinanceBuzz. For a 15 mph infraction, the average speeding ticket will run you $245. Texas is one of only six states where a 15 mph-over-the-limit speeding ticket surpasses $200.

California ranks first in the 10 mph category ($234), and Nevada ranks first in the 15 mph category ($290).

If you’re slapped with a ticket for driving 40 mph over the speed limit in Texas, the fine and court costs are relatively low. At an average of $320, Texas sits at No. 21 on the FinanceBuzz list. Illinois ($2,500) leads the 40 mph category.

“Not all speeding incidents are the same, as the faster someone goes while driving, the more danger they pose to themselves and others sharing the road with them,” says FinanceBuzz. “As a result, the authorities tend to issue larger fines the faster a speeder is going.”

When traveling across Texas, it might be tough to go even one mph over the speed limit if you’re driving on I-35 in the Austin area or I-45 in the Houston area. Both of these notoriously congested stretches of interstate highway are nearing the end of their “functional life,” according to Congress of New Urbanism.

Three busy Dallas County highways were just deemed among the deadliest roads in the country, with I-30 in Dallas ranking as the fourth deadliest road in Texas.

Dallas, Fort Worth, and San Antonio are also home to some of the state’s most congested roads, according to the Texas Transportation Institute. And if you’re on any of those clogged roads, the danger of getting a speeding ticket might decrease.
