Sanchez Art Center

Sanchez Art Center, Pacifica—Archana Horsting, Angle of Repose, a solo exhibition, will open in the Main Gallery at Sanchez Art Center on Friday, July 10, 2026, with an evening reception from 7 – 9 pm. Live music will add to the enjoyment of the evening.

Angle of Repose, brings forward the artists lifelong interest in landscape and architecture, with the use of an engineering term.An “angle of repose” according to Wikipedia, is the “steepest angle of descent or dip relative to the horizontal plane on which the material can be piled without slumping”.Horsting shares that this is also a personal metaphor.“Angles are critical in my work.I look for the angles that create dynamism, but ultimately come to rest in a vibrant balancing act”.She further notes that repose is a word of many meanings and associations, including rest and harmony.And this is just the case with the mostly black and white works, composed in oil stick on paper, that invite the viewer to linger, taking in the depth, engaging with the shapes, and developing a personal interpretation andconnection with each piece.

Opening concurrently, the East Gallery is presenting Balancing Act, at the waters edge, in partnership with the Pacifica Land Trust.A community gathering and engagement event, reflecting on opportunities for nature based solutions along Pacifica’s coastline, will be held on Sun, Jul 19, 2:30 – 4:30 pm.In the West Gallery, members of the Art Guild of Pacifica will participate in a group show titled Strangely Familiar.

On the last day of all the exhibitions, Sunday, Aug 9, the closing program will begin at 3:30 pm with a conversation in the Main Gallery with artist Archana Horsting and SAC Curatorial Director Alida Bray.Sanchez Art Center is located at 1220 Linda Mar Blvd, Pacifica, CA. Gallery hours are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 1 to 5 pm, and by appointment, during exhibits (except opening nights). All exhibitions will run from Fri, July 10 to Sun, Aug 9.For more information: 650-355-1894, <a href="https://www.SanchezArtCenter.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.SanchezArtCenter.org</a>.

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.
