Real Life Food and Fitness

Pretty overpriced, but you can’t help but sort of like this place. They’ve recently added more classes and hired more trainers, which is a definite plus. The meals and smoothies are pricey, but delicious. Highly recommend anything Vinny teaches. He is motivated and energetic, and truly enjoys what he does. This is strictly a class only «fitness center». They have no free weights or cardio equipment. You come, take a class, and enjoy a smoothie after!

I am a fan! This place is conveniently located on University near Culver. They have prepared meals — which are all 500 calories and balanced nutrition. They have a good variety of different food, and they are all priced at $ 10. If you are adamant about eating clean — this will be your best friend when you need it. They also have smoothies available, healthy snacks and quest bars!
I got the chicken pad thai, and it was better than I had expected it to be — with it being so clean and all. Sauteed chicken over brown rice Pad Thai noodles with egg, carrots, bean sprouts, topped with green onions, cilantro*, roasted peanuts & lime. Great portion sizes too!
The staff is friendly, and the place is clean and pleasantly quiet. You can dine in or take out. The best part about this, is you can call ahead your order! Almost everything is gluten — free.
I will most definitely be back!

I stopped in to visit the juice/​smoothie bar. Their method of juicing is to blend all the ingredients together to keep the fiber and nutrients of the skin in the juice, which yes is more like a smoothie. However, the consistency is akin to juice — rather than smoothie thick, which usually comes from adding frozen fruits or ice. I really enjoyed it and found it to be a better meal replacement than a juice, which usually leaves me hungry soon after.
I had the Recharge smoothie: Mango, raspberries, peaches, banana & soy milk. It served as lunch on the go as I was running errands. It was really well balanced. I went for it for the peach because that’s my favorite fruit during the summer and it paired really well with the banana. I could drink this every day. I added the green coffee extract booster for an extra kick of energy ($ 1.50 extra). Total was $ 8.
There are a few seats to sit and hang out. They also sell heathy repackaged meals — 500 cals for $ 10. Might give that a try on a busy night.
They also offer fitness classes too — crossfit-​style and yoga.

I popped in here today after stuffing myself and planned to get a juice to go for my early morning tomorrow (I normally make my own juice). They were open until 8pm, but the case off to the side of the bar was almost empty. Another patron who came in while the barista was making my juice inquired about packaged foods, and the barista said they were out of stock (?) at that time of the evening. She did say to the customer that they would be freshly restocked around 7am, so maybe it was just too late in the day, which I understand.
Upon the barista’s recommendation, I tried the ‘Lean and Green’, a blend of spinach, banana, pineapple, and coconut water. It was very good — lightly sweet, and a gorgeous bright green. To call this place a juice bar is a little misleading, however, as they do «whole juicing» — essentially, just smoothies without the common addition of yogurt (they do have many options that offer the addition of nut milks, butters, and/​or yogurt). I did wish that they offered more straight up veggie/​fruit juices, but many of the options are more geared towards smoothies.
They do offer fitness classes, workshops, cleanses, etc. I grabbed a flyer of their fitness classes on my way, and plan to attend one of their power yoga sessions. Stay tuned for that review — but a cool addition to the health foods scene. I hope they add more true juices (even if whole food ones!) to their menu!

It is misleading of this business to call itself a juice bar. They serve blended (not juiced) drinks with fruits and vegetables as ingredients. Everything on the menu includes an ingredient that is neither a fruit nor a vegetable (e.g., soy milk, peanut butter, «apple juice,» coconut water, stevia).
