What’s Better Than Some Great Road 13 Vineyards After A Good Punch Out At Turf<\/h2>\n

Not so long ago Turf\u00a0 (<\/a>Work Out, Hang Out) opened on Fourth Avenue in Kits. They have all sorts of classes, everything from yoga to boxing, and a great selection of healthy eats, going beyond the ever-prevalent avocado toast (which, by the way, they do have), to include items such as bison meatballs, and a tasty mushroom and spinach salad. I’d stopped in to check it out before for tea, but hadn’t delved into the spot much further, so was rather thrilled when I was invited to not only work out there, but also stay for a wine tasting and healthy snacks.<\/p>\n

\"Road<\/a><\/p>\n

For some insane reason I had decided I could work out twice that day and had done another class in the morning, which was a very bad idea considering the shape I am currently in; however, I still picked up some skills despite my lethargic demeanor. The class was taught by Turf’s Tom Taylor<\/a>, a regular Bruce Lee with a background in martial arts; he didn’t give me any breaks despite my old age and my somewhat constant whining that I’d already done a class, but I need this sort of encouragement, so while I pretended to dislike him, I really thought he was quite excellent. Thanks Natalie Langston<\/a> for the shot above!<\/p>\n

Road 13 Vineyard’s, Joe Luckhurst, joined us and was a worthy sparring partner, I think he went a bit gentler on me when I was on the receiving end of the punches. All in all, a fun and challenging class.<\/p>\n
