Tip# 3: Find balance


Tola is sanskrit for ‘balance’ and Tola Body is a new group & personal training space on Love Lane that just opened and the place rocks.  And you do have to find it.  And you have to register online before attending a class.  It’s located above the Orlowski Hardware Store on the corner of Love Lane.  I bet you passed by a hundred times and never looked up!!  

Co-owner Keri Butler takes a ‘no holds barred’ approach to group training and will push every individual to reach their peak exertion.  This is not a gym to just show up and hang out.  You need to bring it – physically and mentally.  Keri pushes you to challenge yourself with every visit.  Or else she'll do it for you.  (KB - Let me turn up that resistance on the spin bike to a real ‘8’.) I even heard her say to a class “If you feel faint, stop and drink some water.  If you feel like you might throw up, stop and don’t drink water.”  Not your typical North Fork gym experience!
If you are stuck in a fitness rut, Tola Body is your cure. Trust me, you will not know what hit you after your first class but you will definitely want more.  Even the space, still under renovation, resonates with strength and endurance thanks to original details like exposed brick walls, and antique steel beams in the loft ceiling.  Lots of natural light and even reclaimed barn doors bring a sense of the outdoors in.  A feeling of community and eco-friendly policies - like a ban on plastic water bottles - completes the experience.  You will want to spend time here even if your body screams ‘enough’.  And after training at Tola Body, you are guaranteed to leave with more focus and purpose, sore muscles and, yes, balance.
