A Perfect ’10

It’s January 4, do you know where your New Year’s resolution is?

We don’t do guilt here at the Scoop Factory. But if, like us, you ate and drank your way through the holidays, you’re probably all gung ho to get in shape in 2010. And since our idea of working out is digging through a bargain rack or racing back to the buffet line before all the crème brûlées are gone, we decided to call in some professional help.

Founded in 2006, Troon Mountain Health & Fitness is a study in contrasts. Sleek and stylish yet warm and welcoming, this boutique facility also features some of the most advanced training techniques in the nation. And just for Scoop Factory readers, Troon Mountain is offering either a 20-day membership for $20, or 10 percent off your entire membership—both offered through the end of January.

So what makes Troon unique? Aside from a wide variety of programs and classes (cardio kickboxing, Zumba and Bosu Step, anyone?), Troon is also a certified STOTT PILATES training facility. Founded by a professional dancer, this contemporary twist on Joseph Pilates’ original exercise program increases strength, flexibility and endurance, without adding bulk. Taught by one of only 64 Master Pilates/STOTT Instructor Trainers in the country, at Troon you can also wind down your workout with a massage or Acupuncture treatment performed by a licensed therapist.
