BizArts January Breakfast at V-Tone Fitness
This month’s breakfast meeting of the Rogers Park Business and Artist Network (RPBizArts) is designed for those of us still figuring out how to implement our New Year’s resolutions to be fit and trim, either through the benefits of a work out gym, or via yoga.
One of our neighborhood’s newest and most vibrant new businesses, VTone Fitness, at 1550 West Jarvis, will host the breakfast (actually, the breakfast will be at its new yoga studio, two doors east of VTone’s main entrance.) Its owner, Tony Barbanente, a man whose photo could grace the cover of any Men’s Fitness magazine, will offer us a spirited overview of the merits of health and fitness, and he will explain how VTone can offer you an affordable and supportive environment for achieving this.
VTone Fitness
1550 W. Jarvis (go to Yoga studio, immediately east, on Jarvis)
