BEST HEALTH CLUB

FitClub 2701 E. Sangamon Ave., 788-8250 3631 S. Sixth Street Rd., 787-8348 2811 W. Lawrence Ave., 787-1111 With 94,000 square feet of space divided between three fitness centers in Springfield, FitClub is huge. You can do a lot more than just sweat at these facilities, which offer personalized help in designing menus and training programs to get you in shape or keep you there. FitClub also offers child care so busy parents can still work out. FitClub North on Sangamon Avenue is the baby of the bunch and is the only location without a swimming pool. In conjunction with the Heart Center at Memorial Medical Center, the Sixth Street location offers a cardiac rehab program designed for physician-referred exercisers who have heart problems, are at risk for heart problems or have risk factors for heart disease. Relatives of folks enrolled in the rehab program receive reduced membership rates. Runner-up: Cardinal Fitness

BEST YOGA INSTRUCTOR

Ami Flamini, Ahh Yoga 1051 Wabash Ave., 725-2373 Last year, Ami Flamini took second fiddle to Aasne Vigesaa Daniels in the best yoga instructor category. Both teach classes at Ahh Yoga and Daniels credited Flamini, who founded the studio, for much of her success. So it’s only appropriate that this year Flamini takes top prize. To be sure, Daniels is also on the list of Best of Springfield favorites, along with fellow Ahh Yoginis Kristin Ettinger and Judy Riedl. Stop by the studio to take a $15 class, or pick up a class card for a deal and try all of Ahh Yoga’s beloved instructors.
