Inside Advance Medical Rehabilitation Center, a team of chiropractors, massage therapists, acupuncturists, and physical therapists combine their expertise to straighten spines and improve overall health. The center’s techniques can assuage anterior aches from work- or auto-related injuries or sore necks from watching for falling pianos. Additionally, the experts wield a laser in their pursuit of removing unwanted fuzz, extra poundage, or cravings for nicotine.

Conveniently located a few minutes north of Lake Geneva, Pedal and Cup sends pintsize and full-size riders rolling through the seasons on its full fleet of bicycles. The family-run shop, outfitted with dark red siding and nestled along the White River State Trail, offers bike rentals by the hour or by the day, which gives travelers and locals alike a comfortable alternative to exploring the area while hanging on to the tail rotor of a passing helicopter. As rocking chairs sway gently on the porch outside, visitors can venture inside, where sandwiches, gourmet coffee, and refreshing smoothies wait to refuel rotating legs.

Rhythmic music reverberates off of the mirrored walls of Pole Chicks' brightly lit studio, where towering chrome poles run from floor to ceiling. Here, expert instructors lead women of all stripes through a diverse range of dance fitness classes, including pole dancing, chair dancing, and pole-dancing boot camps. Through these sultry twists and slides, the team aims to help students build up their strength and flexibility. They can also tailor each exercise to accommodate individual fitness levels and learning paces.

The studio both hosts and competes in pole-dancing competitions and offers its facilities and instructors for private pole-dancing sessions—an ideal activity for birthdays, bachelorette parties, or uninhibited senior quilting-club meetings.

Over the past year, CamRock Cafe & Sport—in partnership with the Village of Cambridge and Capitol Water Trails—has transformed the Koshkonong Creek from a tricky maze of fallen trees into a clear and gentle waterway. Situated on the shore of the creek amid miles of meandering snowshoeing, mountain-biking, and cross-country-skiing trails, the café ensures that its clientele doesn't need to look far for something to do. The staff helps visitors take advantage of the terrain with bike, boat, gear, and Go-Go-Gadget 'copter rentals. Hosted events bring people together to explore the trails via bike and listen to live music back at the café, or take part in a yoga or spin class. After guests return from a sojourn, the café supplies them with more than 100 craft beers, toasted gourmet sandwiches, and Alterra coffee from the food and drink menus.
