Piloxing Classes in Toluca Lake

I had heard rumblings about a new exercise hybrid — Pilates + boxing = Piloxing — and wanted to give it a try when Hilary Duff tweeted that it kicked her butt. Piloxing (4129 Cahuenga Blvd., Toluca Lake, 818-762-8855) has many fabulous trainers, but I decided to take a class with founder Viveca Jensen, who teaches three times a week. Seeing her move and teach with such passion makes you want to get down, too. Model Mini Anden, who was in the class with me, agrees: "Viveca's energy is inspiring! She makes working out a good time and keeps challenging you to take it to the next level. Piloxing keeps me healthy and in great spirits."
