With every new year comes a list of resolutions that at times can seem, well, impossible. We’ve all been there – “I’m going to do a triathlon,” “I’m going to cook at home five times a week.” So, for those of us that need a little help sustaining our resolutions, we’ve put together a list of local Waco businesses that will help you and the entire family stay fit, feel your best, and organize your life.

Instead of trying to conquer the unconquerable, (i.e. working out seven days a week or becoming a master chef) look to these businesses for commitments you’ll actually be able to keep.

You can find these local spots on Towny – your hub for business deals in Waco that makes it easy for you to shop local and get rewarded. P.S. – if you want Towny on your phone, don’t forget to download the Towny app!

HEALTH + FITNESS, IT’S A FAMILY AFFAIR

Who says exercise is just for adults? Not only will your kids get their muscles moving, but they’ll have fun while doing so at Flips Gymnastics. Flips offers programs such as tumbling, cheer, gymnastics, and even Friday fun dates. All children, two and a half to over seven years of age, are invited to participate in the fun!

Do you ever resolve to drink more water? Water Tree Waco makes it easy for you to stay hydrated the right way. They are dedicated to providing alkaline and hydro-antioxidant water to Wacoans and beyond. Whether you prefer drinking out of a bottle, converting your tap water into Water Tree’s “Living Water,” or keeping a filtered pitcher in the fridge, Water Tree has all of the products you need to make this resolution a gratifying habit.

Who doesn’t love bouncy houses? Whether you’re a kid or an adult there is so much fun to be had at Jump-N-Place, a family-owned entertainment center spanning over 8,500 square feet, full of bounce house inflatables. There is even a toddler area so that you can feel comfortable knowing your little ones are safe. At Jump-N-Place, you’ll whip yourself (and the whole family) into shape without even knowing it!

EYEBROWS, NAILS, + CLOTHING, OH MY!

Get those brows looking their best at Waco Eyebrow Threading. Threading eyebrows is an ancient method of removing eyebrow hair that is gentle on the skin (as opposed to waxing) while giving eyebrows shape and precision. What’s more is that Waco Eyebrow Threading also offers facial threading, Henna tattoo art, herbal + aroma facials, and waxing. Look your best while tackling those resolutions with shapely brows from Waco Eyebrow Threading.

Who says New Year’s resolutions can’t be fun? Enter 2019 by getting pampered with a fresh mani-pedi from Posh Spa & Lounge – a salon that focuses on customer satisfaction + wellness. From the clean and relaxing environment to the professional staff and excellent service, Posh Spa & Lounge has all of your nail needs covered.

Thinking about updating your wardrobe in 2019? Look no further than Sironia, a local boutique offering everything from hand-made jewelry to the latest fashion trends. While you shop, enjoy tasty salads, sandwiches, and soups or indulge in one of their desserts like Maple Pecan Cake or Deliciousness Cappucino Pie. There’s no doubt that an afternoon of fun is to be had at Sironia.

There’s nothing more stressful than dealing with car issues. So start your new year with a tune-up or vehicle repairs from Wade’s Loop 340 Garage. Wade’s prides themselves on their transparency, knowledge, friendly service, and fair prices. They even offer mobile repair for those times when your car won’t quite make it out of the driveway.

TREAT YO SELF AFTER ALL YOUR HARD WORK – YOU DESERVE IT!

What’s the point of tackling all of your New Year’s resolutions if you can’t indulge a little? Treat yourself to some sweet eats from Simply Delicious Bakery. With confections like cookie dough macarons, icing shots, molasses cookies, and Mexican chocolate cinnamon cakes (to name just a few), Simply Delicious is not your average bakery. They offer custom cakes and decorated shortbread cookies so that you can make whatever occasion you’re celebrating special and unique.

Keep it old-school with a stop at Captain Billy Whizzbangs. This diner-style, counter service burger joint is well-known throughout Waco for their hand-spun Blue Bell milkshakes, malts, and floats. And if you ask me, there’s no better way to celebrate your New Year’s success with a thick and creamy chocolate shake.  

Gather your friends for a congratulatory happy hour at La Fiesta. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a margarita (or four) at this beloved Waco restaurant and cantina. Celebrate your accomplishments with a Famous Purple or Jumbo margarita (limit two per person), sip it on the rocks with the Top Shelf Fiesta Rita, or make it custom with La Fiesta’s wide selection of tequilas. You deserve it after sticking to all of those resolutions!

Keeping your resolutions isn’t always easy, but with these local businesses, it can be fun and rewarding.
