A Houston fitness concept that specializes in getting you to sweat is expanding to Dallas: Called OneSweat, it's a boutique fitness studio specializing in high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and it's opening in Preston Center, at 8220 Westchester Dr., in the former CrossFit Katy Trail space.

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a cardio workout that involves alternating short but intense bursts of exercise, using treadmills, with short recovery periods which can last from 15 seconds to 4 minutes. The theory is that you can get your heart rate higher in a quicker amount of time.

OneSweat was founded in Houston by Anabel Barron and Jordan Strouse, and it's a bit of an empire. There is this OneSweat that does HIIT, and there is also a sibling, OneSweat Stretch + Wellness, which has five locations in Houston, and on top of that, there is also OneSweat Pilates, another concept they plan to launch. Lots and lots of Sweat.

The Dallas location is led by fitness instructor and OneSweat's Chief Operating Officer Sherilyn Hardy. It offers a variety of workouts, such as cardio, high intensity interval training (HIIT), and tread exercises.

“From the beginning, we have aimed to provide an innovative and inclusive fitness and wellness experience, and we’re excited to bring OneSweat to Dallas,” Hardy says in a release. “You’re never going to get bored of the same workout at OneSweat because we change our workouts daily to keep your body guessing and focused on the results, eliminating burnout.”

The fitness studio is half cardio training (running, sprinting, and climbing), and half strength training (weights). At 50-minute interval classes, clients spend time on the floor and a Technogym treadmill; treadmills are at the core of each workout and offer enhanced 25-degree incline and sled mode capabilities, testing endurance and power at every step.

There are three categories of membership, including single and package classes, monthly memberships, and unlimited memberships. Memberships range from $34 for one class to $2,700 for a yearlong unlimited membership.

OneSweat joins a very robust fitness scene in Dallas which has multiple concepts both national and local, but OneSweat is convinced it can stand out.

"While OneSweat does have competitors in Dallas, we believe we are in a unique category in terms of intensity and programming," the spokesperson said in an email. "Our approach to fitness sets us apart from the rest."

Charleston-based personalized jewelry brand Hart is debuting its first Texas boutique in Dallas, and it couldn't have picked a better spot than the bustling Knox Street district.

The boutique will open Saturday, August 29 at 3212 Knox St., marking the company's fifth retail location nationwide, after stores in Charleston, New York, Nashville, and Nantucket.

According to a release, the Dallas shop will offer Hart's (officially styled HART) popular collection of talismans, chains, cords, bezel jewelry, earrings, and gemstone strands, designed to be mixed and layered. The brand is particularly known for personalized jewelry, with shoppers able to work one-on-one with a member of the Hart team to select symbols and talismans for a custom piece.

The Dallas location will also carry a collection of pieces created specifically for the Texas market, the owners say.

For the store's design, Hart worked with Dallas firm Burkle Creative, which specializes in residential, hospitality, and retail interiors.

"Hart has built a brand around meaningful pieces that tell a story, so our approach was to create a retail environment that feels equally personal," says Javier Burkle, Burkle Creative principal and creative director, in the release. "We wanted the Dallas store to honor Hart's Charleston heritage while embracing the spirit of Texas, blending their unique character and a sense of discovery throughout the space.

"The result is a store that feels like stepping into the home of a well-traveled collector, where every detail invites customers to explore and connect with the brand."

The Dallas opening follows Hart's move into a permanent New York flagship on Bleecker Street in the West Village.

"Dallas has one of the most stylish, confident, and individualistic customer bases in the country," says Hart Hagerty, Hart chief creative officer. "We've been inspired by the Dallas woman for years, her boldness, her sense of self, her commitment to dressing with intention. We are so excited to finally be here."

Curry Hagerty, Hart's CEO, said Dallas has been a hot market for the brand online and through local wholesale partners Clover and St. Bernard. Now they're bringing everything directly to Dallas shoppers.

"Dallas has consistently been one of our top markets for online sales," Hagerty says. "We also have strong wholesale relationships already in the market through Clover and St. Bernard, so we know this customer and she knows us. Opening in Dallas was less a question of if and more a question of when."

A grand opening event will take place Saturday, August 29 beginning at 10 am. The first 50 people will receive a custom Hart Dallas tote, custom bandana, and $50 gift card. A latte art cart will be on site to supply sustenance.

Once fully open, the Dallas boutique will be open 10 am-7 pm Monday-Saturday and 10 am-6 pm Sunday.
