DIRT FITNESS will host a lunchtime workout next Wednesday, September 1 at 12:15PM at InterContinental Miami’s Lower Deck of the Plaza Level.
If you are in need of a tough workout or seeking alternatives to implement fitness and health into their lives in less than one hour –DIRT FITNESS, the 40-minute high resistance program burns up to 600 calories with back-to-the-basic exercises – a superior program designed for all fitness levels and time-sensitive individuals.
Miami Beach residents along with downtown’s banking and business executives are confirmed to attend the complimentary class in an effort to sweat off mid-morning coffeecake and cappuccino calories with the following exercises (but not limited to):
· Short sprints
· Burpees
· Kettlebell training
· Push-ups
· Pull-ups
The sweat-inducing class features functional training that utilizes bands, balls, free weights, kettle bells and plyometric exercises, a method of training muscle elastic strength to enhance performance, speed, agility and balance.
DIRT FITNESS starts with a brief warm-up and demonstration, and then progresses into four exercises performed in a sequence of four continuous sets. The objective of the timed program is to move at the fastest pace possible while maintaining proper form. Scientific studies show that high-intensity programs such as DIRT FITNESS help achieve greater caloric expenditure due to increased muscle recruitment.
DIRT FITNESS enhances endurance, increases strength, decreases body fat, targets multiple muscle groups, dramatically transforms the body and enhances overall physical and cardiovascular strength – in just weeks.

Cat Shell, a seductive songstress residing in Miami Beach, FL, is here to bring her unique mix of jazzy pop/soul to the listening ears of the world. Cat has taken her eclectic taste in music and formulated a style that combines the sounds of the past with the present. Cat Shell’s music brings with it an aura of familiarity and radio-friendly artistry.
Her music explores and elaborates on themes of self-exploration, personal growth, and love, in a universally relatable manner. Since the release of her debut independent album “Cat’s Outta the Bag”, Cat has been busy performing throughout South Florida. She is currently working on her sophomore album to be released in late 2010.
ALAN LAIRD www.blackartproductions.com
Artist …social activist
Primarily work with paint on canvas and 3D installation.
KRIS STARRY www.starrynightphotography.net
Starry Night Photography was created in late 2009. Her forte is capturing impromptu moments of time, moments of love, and moments of joy. She prefers to maintain her distance to capture natural shots, but will be happy to gently guide you when another angle or better light would be more dramatic or flattering. Her second goal is for you to have fun, because she feels pictures don’t turn out well if you’re not having a good time. Her love of natural lighting leads her to use outdoor and other on-location settings, and she chooses her shooting locations to best match your personality. Let Kris Starry of Starry Night Photography capture and preserve your emotions and memories on your special occasion for not only your lifetime, but for those of generations to come.
EMILY PETERS www.PiazJewelry.com
I’ve been designing Jewelry for over 11 years and opened Piaz Jewelry – a subsidiary of E Apparel – in 2009. Every exceptional and playful piece is handmade by me for remarkable women. When I design jewelry for Piaz, I gravitate toward a modern, frenetic, and striking aesthetic. The Earrings, Necklaces, and Bracelets are constructed from Fine Silver, Sterling Silver and 14K Gold Filled Wire and Chain, glass and metal beads, and Semi-Precious Stones.
Piaz aims to be a source of inspiration – known for its quality, trend-forward products, as well as its social responsibility. The company champions sustainable business practices. We produce according to customer demand, and we reduce, reuse, and recycle whenever possible. Some of the elements of the Piaz jewelry collections are reclaimed from other jewelry pieces. Each piece is delivered in a handmade bag stitched (by me) from vintage materials and shipped in recycled boxes.
