Prime Fitness and Personal Training presents a class entitled Power & Posture every Wednesday at 8:30am taught by Mia Hurst. Everyone is welcome, from those with mild, chronic pain, to those in high performance.
Power & Posture is a bodyweight program that trains the posterior chain muscles for maximum mechanical advantage, peak strength, and structural integrity and flexibility. It helps restructure movement patterns, heal injuries, improve game, and increase injury resistance. The results are a bodily structure designed for efficient and effective movement, at all times ready and equipped to respond with maximum results for a relatively minimal expenditure of energy.
Mia Hurst is a Master Instructor for Foundation Training. She strongly believes in the transformative power of physical and mental autonomy and sustainability.
The New Monterey Center has started clean up and reconstruction on the former Martinizing building, home of American Burger, Pixels Graphic Design, Beck's Shoes, Mary Jane'z Novelties, Ooh La La Boutique, and Orchid Nails (all located on Lighthouse Ave between Irving and Prescott in Monterey). During this time, all of the businesses will remain open with regular hours - stop by and say hello!
When Lilify creates our signature line of linen wear, we incorporate our belief in ethical best practices, our respect for fine fiber, and our love of silhouettes that are simultaneously relevant and timeless.
Our pieces are made out of 100% fine European sourced linen. Linen is a textile made from the fibers of flax. It is beloved for being a strong, absorbent and exquisite natural fabric. The quality and weight of the textile allows for garments that offer both a flattering drape and a lithe movement.
Our pieces are hand sewn locally by a team of three talented, dedicated garment makers. Colleen, Sarah, and Erin have been sewing their entire lives and approach their skill with passion and an artful care. We have an abundant stock of our styles, in many shades, available in the shop, located at 281 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey. In addition, we are able to have any piece, in any available color, constructed with a 2-3 week lead time. (We offer free shipping.)
Lilify designs our pieces to be classically elegant and informed by modern lines - refined and easy to wear. Our pieces are designed to make you feel the most "you" in all your endeavors – chic, straightforward, sophisticated, yet understated. We invite you to explore our collection on our website.
Prime Monterey welcomes the newest addition to our team, trainer Val Valdez! Contact Val through our website for more information or to make an appointment to work with her. Our studio is located at 191 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.
Val's background is in rehabilitation, physical therapy, weight lifting, and a deep understanding of how to get back to the exercises and the daily activities you love like walking, biking, gardening, and daily living. She's passionate about the education part of the workout. She’s delighted when, over time, her clients understand the importance of building muscle, when they feel good, energized, and sleep better...and it happens organically.
Val best serves those who have had pain and are trying to get back to function. possibly even those who are scared of movement. Her goal is to get them back to loving their bodies and feeling great. Whatever age or stage, Val will educate you on proper form and technique and gently push you out of your comfort zone with safe and effective exercises.

Lilify invites you to explore our first signature ceramic collection created in collaboration with Alex Marshall Studios, RITUAL: gloss black and matte white handcrafted drinking vessels.
The Lilify x Alex Marshall RITUAL collection is in homage to our habitual mini moments – turning our day-to-day routines into a rite. Waking up to bright espresso, stopping mid-morning for a spot of tea, returning home after a hectic day to a bracing cocktail, sitting down with a beloved book and a soothing chalice of cabernet - the familiar and frequent traditions that allow each of us to brake and to just be.
Alex Marshall Studios is based out of Chico, California. Alex is the artist and her husband, Andrew, is the business manager. The team creates ceramics that are conceptual and connecting, organic yet modern, stunning as well as utilitarian.
We love watching people fall in love with Alex’s work, just like we did. Visit us and view these beautiful pieces in person at 281 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.
