New Boutique-Fitness Studio Heats Things Up on Post Oak

New Boutique-Fitness Studio Heats Things Up on Post Oak

EVEN THOUGH WE hope things cool down outside, some folks in Houston are about to get even hotter with the arrival of trendy fitness studio Ritual One next month in Uptown Park. The Dallas-based concept will offer classes like Power Sculpt, Hot Pilates, Power Yoga, Inferno Flow, and Inferno HIIT — all taking place in its infrared-heated studios.


Ritual One was founded by two “power yoga” gurus, Kalene McGraner and Nicole Preston, who wanted to bring an elevated and more luxe feeling to the yoga experience. The Houston studio will offer beautifully designed locker rooms, an infrared heating system, and an air purification ionization system.

The heat — class temperatures range between 95 and 102 degrees — promises to help increase blood flow, boost metabolism, burn calories, torch fat and detox the body. “We spent several years researching heaters and ionization systems to create state of the art systems in our rooms that promote and maximize detoxification and heat you from the inside out,” says McGraner. Meanwhile, the air purification ionization system kills bacteria while ensuring the air is well-oxygenated.

In addition to detoxing, Ritual One is determined to assist in reducing pain and inflammation: Every studio is equipped with antimicrobial and shock-absorbent floors to minimize impact and prevent injury.

Ritual One is currently under construction and will occupy the former Revolution Cycling Studio space located at 1121 Uptown Park Blvd., Suite 9.

Fall Philanthropy Report: Urban Harvest Farmers Market Helps ‘Transform Food Accessibility’

What year was your organization launched? Urban Harvest’s Saturday Farmers Market started in 2004 with just seven vendors, providing an outlet for local farms, community and backyard gardeners to sell fresh produce harvested directly from their soils. Now in its 20th year, the market has grown to be one of the largest markets in Texas, supporting over 100 local farmers, ranchers, and food artisans all from within 180 miles of Houston. The market draws 3,000 customers every Saturday morning and includes many original vendors like Animal Farm, Atkinson Farms, and Wood Duck Farm.
