PicMed's medical doctors and lab technicians root out the underlying causes of health concerns by conducting blood and health screenings, physicals, and vaccinations. Staff usher patients into a cheery, marigold-hued clinic, and a mobile lab drives to clients' homes or up the trunks of their tree forts. The clinic recently expanded its scope to include a menu of med-spa treatments, as well as cutting-edge treatments such as Botox and hormone-replacement therapy.

Certified spin instructor Melissa Davis spent several years experimenting with indoor cycling workouts, trying to balance a stationary bike's cardio benefits with exercises to toughen up upper bodies. After a trial-and-error process, she invented Moxieride—a studio that integrates hand weights and resistance bands with spinning. She designed a steel apparatus and had it specially installed so that stretchable bands hung close at hand, and once the studio stocked up on complimentary towels, hair bands, and optional training wheels, Moxieride was ready to welcome its first racers.

Melissa's innovative 45- to 60-minute routines have been featured on the Fox 25 Morning News. While instructors demonstrate the maneuvers of MoxieSteel, MoxieBands, or MoxieRebel—a class that combines both weights and bands—motivational music pushes bodies like a drill sergeant moonlighting as a Lamaze coach.

At Wendy's Tree House, experienced stylists combine the delicate craft of hair sculpting with the art of entertaining children. Rather than whiling away time in a drab lobby thumbing through back issues of the Economist for Kids, children await their turn amid nifty chairs and an arsenal of toys. Soothing shampoos and conditioning treatments clean and soften hair once kids are perched in the proper styling chair, ready to brighten up their school-picture days and surprise their teachers with modish new 'dos.

Skate Galaxy's outdoor sign is shaped like an orb surrounded by a ring of stars, proving that red planets are not just the birthplace of eccentric pop stars. Inside, skaters glide over a glossy white floor as neon lights trace patterns of planets and stars for them to follow and disco balls project glints onto the rink like twinkling comets. Even the carpet seems like a nightscape as it glows under the black light, directing eight-wheeled astronomers to the concession stand stocked with treats such as pizza, pretzels, and energy-boosting Clif Bars. All the while, air conditioning recalls the cold emptiness of space, where astronauts work tirelessly to keep the universe's thermostat at a comfy 65 million degrees below zero.

Lifelong yogi Katie Windom views the age-old physical art form as a remedy to life’s many ills, from stress and pelvic pain to depression. Katie’s multipronged perspective presents itself in her diverse list of classes, which includes hatha yoga, hot yoga, and sessions catered to kids and teenagers. As a master reiki instructor, Katie injects energy-based spirituality into several of her classes, which she prepares for with a complimentary meditation session every Monday morning.
