Top of the Town 2012

We’re just as eager to sculpt and shape as the next guy, but the thought of waiting in a sweat-scented room for a go at the communal elliptical decorated with smeary fingerprints on the control pad isn’t exactly topping our list of desirable post-work activities. And that is why we’re still enamored with (and fine with shelling out for) Pura Vida. The fact that we’ve never seen a line for any of the equipment is a definite perk, but what really sets it apart are the free-with-membership classes (120 per week) offered every hour. From stress-relieving hot yoga to intense rowing and cycling, you’ll never get bored with your workout, and might even find a new passion. The omnipresent eucalyptus smell and complimentary organic fruit for the road don’t hurt, either. 2955 E. First Ave., 303-321-7872, puravidaclub.com
