Sweat Never Felt this Sexy
Warm Up to a New You at Drenched
Working out in a heated space can leave you, well... drenched, which is the entire point of attending classes at Drenched in Valencia. The toasty-room studio functions as center stage for "Drenched dolls," participants of every age and fitness level who gather here for the warm welcome - and warm environment. Dripping with sweat as they sculpt a tinier waistline, define lean arms and create a firm, tight bootie, the goal here is to achieve a "dancer's physique" - without the choreography. There's no pressure for perfection; modifications are offered and taken advantage of throughout every class - even, or especially the ones that feel like a bumpin' night club, without the next-day hangover. At Drenched, the music is loud, the teachers are sassy swaggering sweethearts and the workout is legit. Choose from classes with weights, barre, resistance bands, gliders, trampolines or nothing at all to lengthen muscles, burn fat and sweat it out surrounded by love and positive energy. Right now, Drenched is offering a new-client special: 30 days for only $89.

Make Your Valentine's Day Sizzle
with Organic Sweat Shack
It is no secret that a healthy, vibrant libido depends on a healthy, vibrant lifestyle. Our bodies are designed and created to live a full and rich life, however men and women alike often find that their sexual vitality can come to an abrupt halt due to life stressors, fatigue, lack of exercise and poor diet. The result can make for a not-so-romantic Valentine's Day.

That's where Organic Sweat Shack comes in. They know that working from the inside out is the best way to "feel health" and that adding infrared heat therapy to your routine will increase your body's ability to release excess toxins that can be stored, wreaking havoc on your physical and emotional well-being. Shack guests often find relief from the many symptoms of manopause and menopause, including insomnia, restlessness, anxiety, cloudy thinking, and - yes - reduced sex drive.
Infrared stimulates the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS) within blood-vessel walls. This leads to the production of more nitric oxide within blood vessels, which, in turn, leads to blood vessel relaxation, lower blood pressure and increased sexual function.

Ready to give it a try? Visit the Shack on Valentine's Day and your sweetie sweats for free when sharing the same sauna with your purchase of a Signature Sweat.

Why am I tempted to gather all my belongings and set them on fire?
Most likely, it's because you've been binge watching the new "Tidying Up With Marie Kondo" on Netflix and now you know that excess crud is the reason you fight with your spouse and don't floss. Hold back on the arson, though, and go the "donate" route instead. Right now, there are a few warm-coat drives happening - find 'em.
