Last night, I was given to opportunity to “model” the new Ann Taylor. I will be honest, I have not purchased something on my own from Ann Taylor before. Working from home and in the fitness profession, I don’t have a need for their suits and their dresses used to be too conservative for me. [...]

Reebok CrossFit Back Bay Review

by Sarah on January 17, 2012

Last week, I tried CrossFit for the second time. A new studio opened up just a few blocks from me and was giving out free trial classes to potential new members.

Ultimate Bootcamp & Win New Sneakers!

by Sarah on December 2, 2011

Yesterday I got up nice and early for Ultimate Boot camp. It’s a class offered throughout Boston in parks and on the streets. I opted to take the 7 am class (vs the 6 am which is entirely too early for me) and it was a chilly 40-degrees outside. When I arrived, I quickly realized [...]
