The California Physical Therapy Association’s Annual Conference is almost upon us once again! But with great buffets come great responsibility. When you’re not loading up on comped shrimp, check out some of these unique workout experiences you can only have in Las Vegas.
Aerial Pilates at Galaxy Pilates
1970 Village Center Circle, Suite 5
Price: $22
Work your core and align your spine with this elevated take on a classic workout. It simplifies the experience by replacing the mat and devices like the Cadillac, reformer and ladder barrel with a simple hammock. Aerial Pilates gives a full-body workout by forcing you to maintain and improve your balance, and being suspended relieves pressure on your hip joints and spine. Plus, it’s always fun to swing.
Hike at Red Rock National Conservation Area
1000 Scenic Loop Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89161
Price: $15
Humans have been burning calories hiking through Red Rock Canyon for at least 8000 years. The area boasts 26 trails, including a challenging trail through the uniquely cold Icebox Canyon, Triassic fossils along the Moenkopi Loop, and a petroglyph wall. Most of the trails are rated at least moderately difficult, and many are strenuous, so if you do go be sure to plan accordingly.
Battle Ropes Express at TruFusion
4750 Blue Diamond Rd Suite 100
Price: Call for Schedule and Pricing
An intense, endurance-testing workout combining classical conditioning with battle rope drills. 45 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds breaks for 30 minutes will have you sweating in no time, improving your cardio and strengthening your core and upper body.
Explore Mt. Charleston/Spring National Mountains National Recreation Area
4701 N. Torrey Pines Dr.
Price: $5
Over 60 miles of beautiful mountain trails, most starting at over 6,000 feet in elevation and some going to almost 12,000 feet at the top of Mt. Charleston.

Dolphin Yoga at the Mirage
3400 S Las Vegas Blvd,
Price: $75
An hour of yoga like you’ve never experienced it, The Mirage offers an incredibly peaceful session in the underwater viewing room at the Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat.
