Transform U Fitness

After meeting at a training session for yoga teachers, Shayla and Heidi established Transform U Fitness, with Heidi as the trainer-based studio's first client. Since then, their fitness and yoga programs have earned them the winning spot on CityVoter's Dallas A-List for Best Gym 2011 as well as a feature on NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth. Transform U's communal credo forges a supportive workout space that informs its private, semiprivate, and group classes where gym-goers of every experience level pursue more streamlined physiques.

In an effort to help their members lose weight safely, certified trainers sit down with clients to work out realistic goals and practical ways of achieving them. Preworkout trips to the T.U.F. Boutique outfit exercisers with yoga accouterments from brands such as Zobha and Hard Tail, and a massage therapist and aesthetician stand by to ease physiques postclass at the onsite spa.
