Ask a Socialite
What's your biggest luxury?
Socialite Cindy Halle treats herself to many things, but her favorite is attending an exercise class at the Church of the Western Reserve in Pepper Pike. "A Wharton active-isolated stretch class is one hour, twice and a week, and that is a big luxury for me to take the time and do that," she says. At $90 for a series of six, the classes are based on international exercise gurus Phil and Jim Wharton's program.
