Tennis is one of the few perfect sports that can be played the entirety of one’s life. Not many 80-year-olds out on the gridiron are there?

And yet there is still a lot of stopping and starting as one chases down a lob or crosscourt ripper which can lead to some cranky knees. Plus there’s that serving motion. Let’s just say it’s not a love match for your shoulders.

It would seem that everything one does, from eating to watching television, from meditating to juggling Chihauhau’s, or from painting your masterpiece to lion taming, could also be done while spinning. At least this is the bold proposition being woven in the spokes by Om of Motion, a new spinning class and location that seems to know no boundaries.

Om of Motion opened up earlier this summer in a cozy nook on 505 State Road in West Tisbury, right next to Eileen Blake’s Pies and just past up-Island Cronigs.

Metabolic Boot Camp

Vineyarders, do not ask whether the metabolic boot camp wants you, rather ask whether your metabolism wants boot camp.

If that sounds a bit heavy on the system, what with all those boots stomping all over your cells, think again. This camp, hosted by Jan Buhrman and run by food expert John Bagnola, is designed to lighten the load on your system so you can take your body from feeling like an old Pinto wagon to a souped-up Bondmobile.

Early Detection Curve

Get a mammogram and pay no fee for fitness. That’s the theme at Curves in Vineyard Haven for the month of October. In recognition of breast cancer awareness month and to raise awareness about the importance of early detection, the women’s fitness center will waive the joining fee for members who show proof of a mammogram within the last year or make a $25 donation to breast cancer research.
