General Thoughts and Comments: I’ve been to this studio for a number of classes now, and it definitely falls in the category of hip cycling studios. It seems to be a mix of HP folks and SMU students, which makes sense given the location. The ride was more to the beat of the music, but also incorporated speed work, hills, and some good arm work, for anyone looking for a total body workout. Read on for a rundown of my latest class with Kelsey!

Studio Vibe: This studio falls into the category of boutique fitness, and is tucked away in a shopping center in Preston Hollow. The studio itself is a single room, split into the reception area, then a row of treadmills, Pilates chairs, and reformers. Given the location, the clientele seems a bit older than the Beyond500 location.
Appropriate Clothing: Cropped Tights, Tank Top, Tennis Shoes, Water Bottle & Towel
Other Locations:

General Thoughts and Comments: Generally speaking, I love this class. I’m a cardio junkie, but I know I need strength work, and this class marries the two. Plus, this studio is clean and pretty, and Kali was so nice to everyone who came in, that you couldn’t help but feel happy to be there. Keep reading to get the details on the actual workout!

Parking: Allen Street gets crowded during afternoons and weekends, and the street parking directly next to City Surf is limited. If street parking is full, you can park in the Post apartment garage, but note that parking has a 2-hour limit

General Thoughts and Comments: In all honesty, before actually trying City Surf, the idea of working out on a surf board planted in the middle of a concrete jungle sounded gimmicky, but as I sit here and type with sore arms, legs and core, I can assure you, it’s not! This class is hard, but FUN, and never boring!
