EVOKE Fitness
At EVOKE Fitness, a private training facility in Southwest Reno celebrating its 11th year in operation, Mena Spodobalski and her staff have helped thousands of Nevadans lose weight, get fit and healthier, and feel confident in their own skin.
“It doesn’t matter what your fitness level — we have programs that will fit your needs,” Spodobalski says.
Programs offered at EVOKE Fitness include personalized private training, semi-private training, group fitness challenges such as the infamous 30-day EVOKE Body Challenge, and nutritional guidance.
Spodobalski says that many folks, by this time of year, have already let those healthy resolutions they created at the start of the year fall by the wayside. She has a few tips to keep the momentum going for success.
“Write down goals that are achievable; you want to break those goals into smaller steps that you think you can make in a month, six weeks, and 12 weeks,” she says. “Also, tell a friend; that way, you’re accountable. Write down your workouts in your calendar as you would any appointment, so you’re not likely to skip them.”
EVOKE Fitness meets clients at their fitness levels with an approachable, welcoming, and strong gym community. Whether you’re a mother, father, child, or grandparent, give EVOKE a call at 775-827-1995 or visit Evokefit.com for details.

Sierra Smiles
As temperatures begin to warm up and you come out of your indoor wintering, let a bright, healthy smile greet those you encounter on your outdoor adventures. Sierra Smiles, with locations in Reno and Lake Tahoe, encourages readers to be proactive about their mouth health, appearance, and overall well-being. With an array of oral appliances that are simple to use and can treat periodontal disease, help children grow and develop, and combat sleep apnea in both kids and adults, Dr. John Bocchi and the team are eager to welcome new patients for a consultation today.
“Often, treatment for common dental and airway issues can be provided with measures that are simple and comfortable,” Bocchi says. “Our goal is to prevent disease before it starts; however, when treatment is necessary, we treat our patients with less-invasive therapies, including the use of lasers and Perio Protect trays, in order to prevent surgery or loss of teeth.”
Perio Protect is a line of custom-made, form-fitting trays that gently deliver hydrogen peroxide gel deep below the gum line to attack the bacteria that causes bleeding and periodontal disease, which can contribute to systemic inflammation in your body. The trays are easy to use at home, for just 10 to 15 minutes during a shower or while watching TV. They are a game changer for a healthy mouth and healthy body, as well as fresher breath and whiter teeth.
When it comes to children, nothing is more important than how they are developing physically and emotionally. Sierra Smiles can screen children for airway issues or oral habits that can lead to sleep apnea, and then can perform a complete exam along with a home sleep test at its partner location, Sierra Sleep Airway and Wellness Center. Bocchi and his experienced team often treat patients, both adults and children, with Vivos oral appliances, offering a unique approach to expand the mouth, making more room for your tongue and airway space to treat or prevent sleep apnea. These custom appliances gently move the teeth and jawbone into a natural and healthy position. Children benefit not only from improved health, better sleep, and better air flow, but often they may not need orthodontics as a result.
“Each case is different. However, with the Vivos guides, we’re often able to help children grow and develop properly, so there’s a strong possibility that they may not need orthodontics down the road,” Bocchi adds. “In both children and adults, it is so imperative to get screened because many people do not know that they or a loved one may have an airway issue that can be severely affecting their sleep and overall health. Oral appliances are a great option to treat many oral and systemic health issues in a simple, less-invasive way. Sierra Sleep can work with your specialist or general physician to see what options are best for you.”
To better prevent periodontal disease and get ahead of other dental dilemmas, experts recommend dental wellness visits at least twice per year, proper home care, and screening for sleep and airway issues. To book an appointment, visit Sierrasmiles.com.
