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.

Flood Response

New relief fund launches for 2026 Texas Hill Country flood victims

The same foundation that collected more than $60 million for the 2025 floods has launched a new fund for 2026.

Texans looking to support Hill Country neighbors affected by floods over the past few days can turn to the same organization they did for the July 2025 floods: The Community Foundation of the Hill Country has launched a new Texas Hill Country Flood Relief Fund that is accepting donations now.

The foundation emphasizes that the two funds are distinct (last year's was called the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund), so donors should note that their contributions will specifically go toward Hill Country residents affected by the current floods. The money raised will offer emergency assistance and long-term recovery support.

According to the Associated Press, nearly 1 trillion gallons of water fell on the three hardest-hit Texas counties over three days — enough to fill 1.5 million Olympic-sized swimming pools or supply 11 million homes for a year. First responders rushed to save people trapped in high waters Friday, as more heavy rain widened the danger from floods that have killed at least two people and left hundreds more in need of rescue.

Earlier in the week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott declared a disaster in 59 counties including Travis to help emergency services respond quickly.

Although many regional businesses, churches, and other groups organized donations for the 2025 floods, the Community Foundation was the main entity holding and distributing funds. The Kerr County Flood Relief Fund totaled more than $60 million by the end of that July.

"Our hearts break that the Texas Hill Country is once again facing catastrophic flooding. Just one year after the devastating July 2025 floods, many of our neighbors are again in harm's way," said Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country CEO Austin Dickson. "People from across Texas and around the world came together to help Kerr County begin the long road to recovery. As first responders and local and state officials continue their response efforts, the Community Foundation's role is to help ensure communities have the philanthropic resources they need to recover in the weeks, months and years ahead."
