As a girl who gets excited about the large variety of workout classes in a city (…or perhaps just the excuse to wear a large variety of trendy workout outfits), I have found committing to one single fitness studio is nearly impossible and quite boring. Due to this, I either enroll in way too many “studio specials” at a variety of gyms OR just skip the gym all together – neither one really works in my favor. Luckily with one of the most convenient new apps available in Dallas, all of this is about to change!
Meet StudioHop: your golden pass to hop around from the yoga mat to the surf board right on over to the weight room, all with one single membership! StudioHop is a local Dallas company that offers monthly memberships to a variety of high-quality local fitness studios to incorporate a well-rounded workout routine to balance out your lifestyle. Since most of us rarely stop in our busy days, you can easily schedule your class on the go through the website or mobile app in just a few seconds!
If you are anything like me, a little push from a friend or sister is often what I need to get myself to the gym. With the fun sharing options on the app, my friends can simply share their schedule with me through the app and I can sign up for whatever classes spike my interest! It’s such a simple way to stay connected with friends, and the perfect alternative to the post-work happy hour!
Though other apps have had similar concepts for a single membership to a variety of studios,
StudioHop is the best app I’ve seen yet. Rather than placing a limit on certain studios, you have the option to attend each studio an unlimited amount of times! Also, studios partnering with
StudioHop do not black out class times to app users – meaning if there is a spot available in the class, any member is welcome to use it!
The app launches in Dallas in January 2015, but membership and membership gift cards (perfect stocking stuffer!) can now be
pre-ordered online. Visit the
StudioHop website to learn more about the trendiest new fitness app to hit Dallas! Hope to see you in class xo!

When I think of trendy workout wear, Lululemon is always the first to come to mind. Girls (and guys) have fallen in love with their amazing and flattering yoga pants, and their fitness line is the ultimate collection to sport for those active days. Apart from their active lifestyle clothing, did you know that Lululemon reaches beyond fitness, and actually has pieces to wear outside the gym?
Recently Lululemon Northpark hosted an event with a handful of Dallas bloggers to help show that the collection is more than just yoga gear. We all participated in a style challenge to show how we could transition our workout looks for a night out with friends, and I had so much fun with this! With their new collections of dresses like Ashley chose and their adorable crop tops and sweaters, Lululemon now has the ability reach a whole new audience!
For my look I decided to combine three of my favorite trends of the moment: jumpsuits, cut-outs, and the 90s. By steering away from the classic yoga pant, I chose the harem pant and paired them with a cut-out bra for a look which I would wear to a yoga class. To transition from workout to social hour, I paired a flowy black top in the same material as the pant to mimic the look of a jumpsuit, making it appropriate for dinner with friends! To top of the look I tossed a 90’s inspired camo jacket around my waist and a pair of heels to dress it up.
All of the girls from the event had some fabulous looks that I would definitely wear! I was so excited that my outfit won the challenge, and I was given the entire look to take home with me! We all had such a blast at the event, and I have to say I was surprised by how many transitional pieces were in the store. Though I am still a huge sucker for the classic yoga pant, I now will be stocking up on all sorts of new pieces for my everyday wear!
