PILATES

Humani Pilates

2760 21st St.; humanistudios.com

Pilates is the exercise that looks like it’s done on an ancient torture table. (It’s called a reformer.) Created by Joseph Pilates, the practice is meant to restructure and re-pattern bodies prone to sitting and slouching into ones that are uniformly strong and functional. Devotees say you will experience breakthroughs and feel muscles that you never knew you had. As underdeveloped muscles become stronger, chronically overused and tense muscles that have been compensating are able to release. $299 for 4 classes per week, or up to 16 classes in 30 days

CLIMBING

The Boulder Field

8425 Belvedere Ave. #100; theboulderfield.com

Climbing is a mental and physical exercise that’s a little bit different from any other type of workout. For example, how often do you think about the muscles in your fingers and forearms? (After your first session, you will find yourself thinking about them often.) While many bouldering enthusiasts use the gym as practice for climbing real rock formations, plenty of others just enjoy the bouldering gym environment. Unlike top rope, which requires you to have a belay partner, bouldering can be done solo due to the lack of equipment. Bouldering is done only 8 to 15 feet from the ground. When you’re done, just hop off onto a thick mat.

One month prepaid: $120; monthly recurring membership: $83/month plus $100 EFT fee

What’s Your Game?

Move over, there’s a new casino in town. And this one is the closest option for gaming fiends in Sacramento.

Sky River Casino, which broke ground off Highway 99 at Grant Line Road in Elk Grove in early 2021, opened its doors in mid-August. It’s 15 miles from downtown, and the first casino to open in Sacramento County.

The 100,000-square-foot space doesn’t skimp when it comes to its main attraction: gambling. It has 2,000 slot machines, 80 table games and a high-limit room. It’s also an entertainment destination, and a foodie one, too: The Market at Sky River includes 12 food and beverage venues, including Aurelia Taqueria, Butchers Burger, CA99 Hot Chicken, Chickie and Tony’s pizza, Fukuro By Kru, Global Eats, Indulge, Koi Palace Express, Ocean, Roli Roti, Sky River Java and Upper Barrel wine bar. In all, there will be 17 food and beverage options.

The casino has ties to Wilton Rancheria, a federally recognized American tribe of Miwok people based in Northern California. Boyd Gaming assists in management of the property.

“Our people have fought for decades to achieve self-sufficiency,” says tribal chairman Jesus Tarango. “We fought for tribal recognition, for our land and for this historic project.”

Benefits to the tribe include an immediate increase in job openings. 1 Sky River Parkway, Elk Grove; skyriver.com
