Personal Training with Unlimited DEXA and VO2 Max

Custom Fit

Most training programs run on guesswork. Custom Fit replaces it with measurement. At its San Francisco studios, Personal Training and Partner Training memberships include unlimited DEXA body-composition scans and VO2 max testing — diagnostics usually sold one scan at a time or reserved for specialized clinics. Custom Fit members can test as often as they train. The reasoning is straightforward. A DEXA scan measures fat, lean muscle, and bone density with clinical precision. A VO2 max test measures the body's maximum oxygen uptake, one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular fitness and long-term health. Run those tests on a regular cadence and a member can see exactly what is changing, where, and whether a program is working — rather than relying on the scale or the mirror. That is the idea behind Custom Fit's positioning: not a gym, a performance lab. Every program is built from a member's measured body composition and cardiovascular capacity, then adjusted as the data moves. The goal is to eliminate the guesswork that defines most fitness routines and to treat training as something you can verify. The model also brings longevity diagnostics that usually live in concierge medicine into a routine training week. Body composition and cardiovascular capacity are central markers of how well a person is aging, and regular testing keeps those numbers visible rather than treating them as an occasional, expensive add-on. Custom Fit operates in Hayes Valley (323 Octavia Street), on Market Street (1844 Market), and with a Downtown San Francisco location on Battery Street (570 Battery) opening soon. Personal Training, Partner Training, and select memberships include the testing. More information is available at customfitsf.com.

Happy Valley Art School

Happy Valley Art School is a premier local art academy dedicated to nurturing creativity and artistic excellence in students ages 5–18. With a comprehensive and professionally designed curriculum, the school supports young artists at every stage—from imaginative beginners to advanced high school students preparing competitive college portfolios. For younger students, creative art classes focus on exploration, imagination, and hands-on discovery. Children experiment with watercolor, acrylic, pastel, clay, and mixed media while learning foundational concepts such as color theory, composition, and visual storytelling. These classes build confidence, fine motor skills, and a lifelong love for art in a supportive and encouraging environment. As students grow, the program transitions into structured fundamental drawing and fine art training. Students develop strong observational skills, master perspective, understand light and shadow, and learn proportion and composition. Through pencil, charcoal, ink, and painting techniques, they build a solid technical foundation that strengthens both artistic ability and critical thinking skills. For dedicated middle and high school students, Happy Valley Art School offers advanced portfolio development with individualized mentorship. Students explore concept development, theme-based projects, figure drawing, and refined technical practices while building cohesive, college-ready portfolios. The program is ideal for students applying to art, design, architecture, and other competitive university programs where strong visual presentation is essential. What sets Happy Valley Art School apart is its commitment to small class sizes and personalized instruction. Experienced instructors provide professional guidance while encouraging each student’s unique voice. The school emphasizes both technical rigor and creative growth, ensuring measurable progress and artistic maturity. Beyond the classroom, students participate in exhibitions, co

GrowWise empowers kids with hands-on, skill-based learning.

GrowWise School

Most Tri-Valley parents don't find out their child has a learning gap until the report card arrives. By then, the gap is three units deep. GrowWise School exists for that moment — and for the parents who want to get ahead of it before it happens. We are a K–12 enrichment center on Dublin Blvd built around one idea: find the real gap, fix it at the root, and align every session to what your child's school is covering this week — not a generic curriculum running on its own timeline. Every class has a maximum of 12 students. A qualified instructor teaches in the room. Mistakes are caught in real time. And every session includes a structured practice block — teacher guided, not sent home as homework. For elementary students, we build the foundation they need to reach the advanced math pathway before middle school. For middle and high school students, we align to DUSD, PUSD, and SRVUSD pacing so nothing we cover is disconnected from what their teacher is testing on Friday. This summer, we also run small-group camps in Math Olympiad, AI, Robotics, Scratch, Roblox, and Creative Writing — every student leaves with something real they built themselves. Education First, Always. Business Second. Free 20-min assessment: growwiseschool.org/book-assessment Summer camps: growwiseschool.org/camps/summer (925) 456-4606 | 4564 Dublin Blvd, Dublin CA

Take up to 85% off the retail price of these award-winning wines. This time, we’re selling Chardonnay, Rosé, and your other summertime faves! Some of these wines are as low as $6 per bottle when you buy three or more cases at a time. By popular demand, we are allowing half-and-half cases for this sale. So a case can include 6 bottles each of two different wines! Take the plunge and buy three or more cases for the best prices. Any combination of cases counts, including half and half cases. Purchase Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, Zinfandel, and MORE at this summer wine sale. There’s something for everyone. TASTE THE WINES FIRST: These AWARD WINNING wines are in ideal cellar condition, and you can try before you buy! CLUB MEMBERS: These sale wines are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from the EOV wines that will be available at the Q3 club release party. Don’t be afraid to come to both events, because you’ll be able to buy different wines at each! 🤔Hmmm, why are these wines on sale? Because their label designs have become obsolete, and because our restaurant partners are ready to turn the vintage. Several of these wines were impacted by the slowdown in post-pandemic restaurant sales. Our loss is your gain – snag these wines at never-before-seen wholesale prices! Take these wines off our hands, so we can get ready for a whole new look! 85% OFF RETAIL PRICE!!! PRICING GUIDE: When you purchase one or 2 cases: Current Vintages: $12 per bottle ($144 per case) Older Vintages: $8 per bottle ($96 per case) Half-and-half cases are OK! When you purchase 3+ cases: Current vintages: $9 per bottle ($108 per case) Older vintages: $6 per bottle ($72 per case) Half-and-half cases are OK! Wines purchased by the case quantity only, of twelve bottles per case. One case minimum purchase. At this sale, a case may be made up of six bottles each of two different wines. Must be purchased and picked up at the time of sale. In person only. No online ordering. No shipping or storage. Wines on sale are subject to change, but we will make sure we have the advertised varietals in stock. Past sales have started with a long line- please come prepared to wait in line, and layer up, as our warehouse is climate controlled. Limited to supplies on hand- once a wine is sold out, its gone!

A 90-minute live workshop for parents. The skills employers want most can't be tutored in. They have to be grown, and no one grows them like you.
<hr>
Employers are telling us what the next decade of work will require, and it isn't more screen time or another coding class.
In the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025, more than half of employers named durable human skills, including creative thinking, resilience, self-awareness, empathy, and curiosity, among the core skills their workforce needs. CASEL, a leading authority on social and emotional learning, echoes this in its annual State of the Field address: alongside math, reading, and science, these human skills are what let a person grow, adapt, and thrive no matter how the economy or job market shifts.
Here's the part most parents never hear. Those workplace skills aren't a separate checklist to train. Each one grows out of a deeper set of social-emotional competencies: knowing your own emotions, managing them under pressure, and reading the emotions of others. Resilience and flexibility grow from a child learning to manage emotion. Empathy and collaboration grow from learning to read others. Creativity and sound judgment grow from self-awareness. Build that foundation, and the workplace skills follow. Skip it, and no amount of tutoring or enrichment fills the gap.
And that foundation is built through relationships, which is where you come in.
Teachers, coaches, and mentors all contribute to a child's social-emotional growth. But the most important relationship is the one at home. A child's bond with a parent is the template for every relationship that follows, and it is where they first learn whether emotions can be named, whether stress can be soothed, and whether the world is safe enough to stay curious in. Psychologists call that bond attachment, and it is the soil these durable skills grow in. No teacher or program can replace it, and no adult has more influence over it than you, at every age including the teen years.
This workshop shows you how it works and what to do about it: which skills the future demands, why they matter more as AI reshapes work, how secure attachment builds them from the inside out, and what you can start doing today.
<h2>What You'll Learn</h2>
<ul>
<li>The 2030 Skills Landscape. Which durable human skills employers actually need, and why AI makes them more essential, not less.</li>
<li>From Skills to Foundation. How the skills employers want are really expressions of deeper social-emotional competencies, and why those competencies take root at home first.</li>
<li>The 4 Attachment Styles. How your child's bond with you shapes their ability to manage emotion, collaborate, stay curious, and bounce back under pressure.</li>
<li>When Attachment Gets in the Way. How insecure attachment quietly undermines the exact skills the future workplace requires most, often without anyone noticing.</li>
<li>What You Can Do Right Now. Practical, everyday ways to strengthen the secure foundation your teen needs, at any age.</li></ul>

Ensure Your Teens Have the Durable Human Skills to Succeed in an AI Workforce & Life

Pleasanton Cultural Arts Center

Academic achievement alone will not prepare teens for the AI-era workplace. This 90-minute workshop for parents and caregivers focuses on the social-emotional competencies — self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making — that form the foundation for workplace readiness.
Top employers agree. In a January 2025 Education Week feature, Google's global head of education impact, Jennie Magiera, named these exact CASEL competencies as traits her teams prize, noting that Google values social-emotional skills as much as technical talent.¹ Microsoft's vice president of education, Paige Johnson, added that the top skills needed to navigate complexity and change in the age of AI remain uniquely human.¹ These "durable human skills" also underpin the capabilities the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025 identifies as essential for tomorrow's workforce, including resilience, flexibility, creative thinking, and lifelong learning.²
Led by Heather Thompson of Attachment Matters, LLC, the session explores how attachment styles shape a child's capacity to develop these competencies and thrive. You'll leave with practical strategies to build the secure foundation your teen needs for future career readiness.

Middle school is an exciting milestone, but it’s also one of the biggest transitions students experience. Suddenly, they’re expected to manage multiple teachers, keep track of assignments across classes, stay organized, plan ahead, and take on more independence.
The challenge is that many students don’t realize they’re missing these skills until they’re already feeling overwhelmed. At SOS4Students, we’ve worked with countless middle school students who came to us after struggling with these new expectations. We saw the same patterns again and again, which is why we created Mastering Middle School.
This summer workshop helps rising middle schoolers build the executive functioning skills they’ll need before the school year begins. During the intensive session on August 1–2 at Orinda Academy, students will learn practical strategies for:
• Organization and managing materials • Time management and task management • Homework routines and study strategies • Effective note-taking • Self-advocacy and communicating with teachers • Navigating the increased independence of middle school
Students will also have the opportunity to return for a follow-up session on September 12 to reinforce skills and prepare for a successful transition into the school year.
Give your student the tools to start middle school feeling prepared, confident, and ready to succeed.
