Healthy Alternatives Health Food And Nutrition Center

Best Health Food Store

Dianne and Lloyd Burg have been all-in on healthy living for decades. Dianne, a registered nurse, delved into homeopathy and natural remedies as a way to help her patients heal, and together the couple grew organic apples on their tree farm while seeking out other locally grown, organic produce. Despite their best intentions, their resources were limited in the Lehigh Valley. So, rather than depend on others, they decided to lead the charge; the Burgs opened Healthy Alternatives in Trexlertown in 1994. “From the beginning, the goal was to have a service-oriented store that offered the healthiest foods and supplements,” says store manager Ann Sheridan. That’s still the goal today, although the store has since expanded its products and added on a small eatery, Café Santosha (Santosha is the Sanskrit word for “contentment”), which offers a rotating menu of breakfast and lunch items, many made with ingredients from organic farms. “The café’s commitment to a healthier planet doesn’t end with what’s on your plate,” Sheridan says. “The café is built with environmentally friendly materials, from flax floors to counters made from recycled paper and repurposed wood from local barns.”

Allie Grantz, Generation Fit/CrossFit Advanced

Best Trainer to Kick Your Butt at the Gym

Fifteen years ago, Allie made the scary decision to join a gym, hoping to kickstart her fitness. She quickly noticed that few trainers paid much attention to their clients, so she decided to change that. She became the trainer she’d never witnessed herself—attentive, caring and informed.

Best Gym to Get a Great Workout

West End Yoga

Best Yoga Studio

Long before yoga entered the mainstream, Cathy Cappel and her daughter Leah Naylor were hard at work perfecting their poses. Cappel began practicing and teaching in the 1970s, and Naylor started working on her own sun salutations and downward dogs as a child in the ’80s. It would be some 30 years before they teamed up to share their expertise with friends and family in the Lehigh Valley. When it became necessary to move to a larger teaching space, they opened West End Yoga in Allentown, where the first class is always free, and drop-in rates are $10 after that. Cappel and Naylor acknowledge that one size does not fit all when it comes to yoga; they’re happy to have found their niche among the community of other studios in the region. Says the mother-daughter duo: “We are so very grateful that West End Yoga ‘happened’ upon us, and we are committed to continuing to offer affordable, effective and safe yoga, with all of its benefits, to our Lehigh Valley community!”
