Though they lead classes for toddlers, children, and teenagers only, the staff at Eagle Ridge Gymnastics holds their facilities to Olympic standards. Inside the 15,000 square-foot studio, 22 experienced instructors guide boys and girls ages 6–15 toward mastery of an in-ground trampoline, two vault runways, six high and low beams, and a full-size spring tumble track. In a preschool area, they help toddlers explore child-sized bars, rings, and beams while pausing for interviews with toddler sports reporters.

From behind a lobby's floor-to-ceiling glass windows or on a mezzanine level, parents can watch as their offspring join in competitive and recreational classes, holiday camps, and summer camps. They can also join in during parent-tot gymnastics classes.

At two locations, board-certified dermatologists, assistants, and technicians combine their extensive experience to create a comprehensive hybrid of clinical and cosmetic therapies. In addition to performing biopsies and treating health issues such as eczema and sneezing pores, the staff spruces up exteriors with cosmetic services. Physicians plump up wrinkles with injectables, stave off blemishes with medical acne treatments, and technicians use lasers to tone complexions and reduce hair.

Doctor Jansen Donoghue and his experienced staff pore over mouths, searching for signs of disease or hints of trouble. During dental cleanings, a technician whisks away tartar and plaque before polishing teeth, reducing stains and residue. As part of the dental exam, a trained technician takes a radiographic image of pearly whites, which reveals bone loss, tumors, and cysts more effectively than traditional Etch-A-Sketch imaging. Next, a doctor examines the mouth for oral cancer or gum disease and monitors tusks for any signs of tooth decay. Finally, the doctor checks the sturdiness of restorations such as crowns, fillings, and permanent plastic fangs.

To maximize the mileage from every dental visit, the doctor elucidates proper brushing, flossing, and rinsing for patients. Alternatively, Chamisa Hills’s cosmetic-dentistry practices keep clients’ grins even and gleaming, with porcelain crowns, veneers, and at-home custom whitening, among other treatments.

CedarFit's head trainer and founder, Cedar McCrary, successfully knocked off 75 pounds herself before disseminating her fast, potent method to all who flock to her training center. McCrary and a team of trainers lead 45- to 55-minute boot-camp sessions, which each can burn 500–1,000 calories and accommodate a roster of no more than 20 participants. Begin the 14- or 21-day program following an initial fitness assessment, held on the first Saturday of each month and additional weekdays, which examines your physical fitness, overall wellness, and ability to hogtie a runaway horse. The 14-day Fat Furnace boot camp incorporates strength, cardio, flexibility, stability and core exercises over a series of workouts offered six days a week, which typically can result in the loss of 2 to 5 pounds and a 1-percent body-fat reduction. The 21-day Rapid Fat Loss program couples the demanding workouts with Vitabot, a nutritional management plan that suggests menus based on nutritional value and the alignment of the planets in our solar system, potentially resulting in 5 to 15 pounds of weight loss and 2- to 3-percent reduction of body fat.
