More than 450 calories at the end which directly contributes to donation of cash to your favorite not-for-profit. Love the concept. Did you know?

Luxury. Tech. Vibes. This is the gym El Paso's been waiting for…read more I found it, y'all -- the it gym. Kinective Fitness in El Paso is where fitness, fun, and a little bit of bougie all collide in the best way possible. This place is more than a gym -- it's a two-story-plus-rooftop experience that somehow manages to feel upscale and welcoming. Think boutique hotel vibes meet high-tech wellness playground. Let's start with the first floor: it's stunning. The aesthetic is modern, spacious, and designed with intention -- every detail feels thought out. The front desk team was so friendly and helpful from the moment I walked in (even when I had a little misunderstanding about my visit -- more on that later). There's a healthy café right by the entrance serving smoothies and food that fits every lifestyle, including vegan options. They even have a secret door that leads to a massage therapist's suite -- yes, an actual hidden door. There's also a retail section stocked with Lululemon and gym swag, so if you forget something, they've got you covered. Parents, take note -- there's also an on-site kids' daycare on the first floor, which I thought was such a thoughtful touch. It's clean, bright, and makes it so much easier for members with little ones to actually enjoy their workout time without stress. The first floor also houses the HIIT training room -- dark, moody lighting, TRX straps, and those curved, motorless treadmills that make you feel like a machine. MetCon classes happen here too, and if you're serious about lifting, you'll find top-notch equipment plus unique tools for competitors or physique athletes. You'll also spot the personal training offices, a compression therapy area (available for an extra fee), and super clean locker rooms with everything -- infrared sauna, steam room, zero-gravity massage chairs, tons of vanity space, and more showers than I could count. The second floor keeps the wow factor going with tons of cardio equipment overlooking the first level and massive windows with mountain views. This is also where you'll find The Trip, and honestly, this alone makes the membership worth it. The Trip is a next-level immersive cycle class -- think virtual-reality-meets-spin-studio. You ride through projected worlds on enormous screens, and it's all synced to music and visuals. The bikes are smooth, and the tech setup is seriously impressive. You even check in via small digital screens before class. That said, my only real miss came during The Trip. As a first-time guest, I didn't get any help setting up my bike, and the instructor didn't acknowledge new riders. Thankfully, another member helped me out -- shoutout to friendly gym people everywhere -- but I wish someone had guided me through that first experience. It's a small thing that makes a big difference, especially in a high-end gym like this. After class, I met Jeff, the general manager, who gave me a full tour -- and he was phenomenal. Super professional, friendly, and passionate about the space. He explained how every class syncs to your Connective app, showing your heart rate and stats in real-time on giant projectors (unless you choose to opt out). It's all very tech-forward, which I love. Upstairs you'll also find Pilates Reformer classes (extra fee), yoga and barre studios, and even a meditation-only room -- dark, quiet, with twinkling ceiling lights and soft music. It's honestly a dream. Every floor has its own bathrooms (thank you!), and everything is spotless and thoughtfully designed. And then -- the rooftop. The vibe up here is unreal. There's a track for running or walking, kettlebells, monkey bars, and a full outdoor workout setup with mountain views. At night, it transforms into this elevated hangout space with misters, ambient lighting, and even a bar serving drinks. They host events up here too, and you don't have to be a member to book one. I came in on a free trial day, but you'd never know it from how I was treated -- the staff was wonderful, and I felt like a valued member. They also offer day passes, week passes, and flexible memberships. So, the hits? Pretty much everything. The design, the energy, the tech, the amenities -- this place nails the luxury fitness experience. The misses? Just a couple small service gaps during my first visit. But overall, Kinective Fitness is absolutely the boutique gym of El Paso -- where wellness meets wow. There's a second location coming soon ! (Plano , TX)

I've been going to Pure Barre ‍ for about 4 months, but to be honest, I've been going a lot less…read morebecause I've been so busy. What I like about them is that they let you take a FREE demo class, which is a really good mix of all the different classes they have. I then took a stretching class called "Align" that I actually fell in love with. It's the perfect mixture of yoga and resistance training, and it helps you with your posture and alignment, while still getting your heart rate up. The facilities are clean and modern, and the instructor, Erica, is high-energy and super kind. They also provide you the equipment like bands, mats, and weights, just need to clean it afterwards. They only offer classes on certain days, and the schedule is uncertain because they're in a transition period. The owner of the franchise sold it to two different owners, so now you have to get a membership at each studio, instead of being able to go to the Pure Barre here off Redd or Kern, when it was under the same owner. Other than that, the classes are high-quality, and I enjoy them. I just wish they offered more, but I understand they're a small, growing studio, and it's really close to my house, so I can't complain. I also like that there's no judgment, and you can go at your own pace. I usually modify the exercises so I don't hurt myself, because I'm so out of shape. A lot of the people who take the classes come from Pilates, which I also wanted to try, but apparently the reformer machines are kind of unforgiving, and they suffer a lot of injuries. Pure Barre is a more natural and more forgiving way to lengthen and tone your body without hurting yourself, so I'm glad I took this instead. If you're interested in trying them out, they have demos you can try. And now that the kids are going to school, I'll be going to take more classes, because it makes me feel so much better and really helps me with posture and hip and back problems that you get as you age. The classes are also pretty affordable if you buy a package, and they always run specials. -TODOELPASO

Pure Barre kicked my butt. I signed my boyfriend and I up for the Love Your Body class on…read moreValentine's Day and I still feel the burn in my abs today. PB gave us a great workout in a fun environment. I'm usually more of a studio jumper (I like going to different types of studios like yoga and pilates and kickboxing and... well, you get it). Signing up for a single class is only $20 right now. I was lucky enough to have a discount code for a free class, but I would've taken the class regardless. You can purchase single classes or memberships online, but I'd check at PB first because they might have some kind of discount going on. Our teacher was Courtney. She was awesome! She started the class by making sure we understood the lingo ("tuck" was the big one that day) and as the class went on she made sure we had the right posture and we weren't taking the easy way out any chance we got. "Find your shake" was said a lot and I did find my shake. A couple of our friends came too so I think that helped to keep us on our toes... literally. PB classes are a mix of yoga, pilates, and ballet. The ballet portion of it is more isolated standing and sitting stretches... so no, you won't be doing any pirouettes during PB. The workout wasn't so strenuous that I was near death, but between pumping weights and holding a small PB ball between my legs, every muscle in my body felt like it was working. The whole studio is in tip-top shape. In the very back there is a small locker room where you can leave your stuff and pick up weights, a band, and a ball for the class. Before the class we also picked up some "sticky socks" in the front shop area. They actually have a lot of women's apparel available like shirts, capris, and leggings. Great class, awesome instructor, and wonderful studio! I'll be signing up for more classes very soon! Oh and they sometimes have different types of events so check into those.

Don't let the location or temptation of food fool ya, tucked behind a major chain restaurant (and…read moretheir infamous bread rolls) lies a studio that features not only great spaces to workout in but it's clear they have a core community who make it feel welcoming for newcomers and die-hards alike. The Studio celebrated their one year anniversary and I had the chance to check it out with my sister who goes quite frequently. She has been trying to get me to the studio for some time so it was nice to finally check it out in an open house setting. They have a dedicated pilates studio and a core strength room to enjoy their class schedule from 6am to evenings. I even saw a private training room which was pretty cool. The pilates room had about 10-12 beds and they have a rotating list of trainers which was cool to learn. It was a great opportunity to see what all The Studio has and now it's a matter of coming for my first class.
