Sollis Health

The newest medical trend has come to Coral Gables in the form of Sollis Health, a concierge emergency room and urgent care provider, offering memberships for $4,000 and up. The company recently held its grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony, attended by Mayor Vince Lago and Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce CEO Jorge L. Arrizurieta.

Assistant Medical Director Dr. Vikas Goswamy will be attending patients and overseeing technicians at the Coral Gables location, which is the third permanent spot in Florida and includes five exam rooms, onsite X-rays, and an in-house laboratory. Sollis originally opened a pop-up location in Miami Beach during the COVID-19 pandemic to care for members traveling from New York, and now has two other permanent locations in Palm Beach and Boca Raton. “We knew we wanted to get back in the Miami area and there’s no better place than Coral Gables,” said CEO Brad Olson.

Outside of Florida, Sollis Health operates in locations ranging from New York and the Hamptons to Northern California. The company also offers a “Sollis Pediatrics” membership, which provides comprehensive care for children starting at $6,000, as well as its “Sollis Platinum” plan, an all-inclusive membership starting at $12,000. The clinic is open from 7 am to 11 pm, with 24/7 virtual care available. – Amanda Martell

AIRLAB Fitness

For those drawn to fitness with a different edge, AIRLAB Fitness’ new Coral Gables location may be the right place for you. The hook here is AIRLAB’s new approach to classic workouts: altitude training in a reduced-oxygen environment, designed to simulate higher elevations. During classes, the room’s system can be adjusted to simulate up to 8,000-feet of altitude, offering a unique training experience. The class lineup includes Upper Body and Core Burn, Full Body HIIT, and rotating sessions that target specific muscle groups.

Workouts are divided into four base camps, with members completing each level before advancing to the next. Throughout the session, you can see the altitude you’re training at, with oxygen levels typically ranging between 14 and 15 percent, which is considered optimal for altitude training. (Under normal conditions, it’s around 20 percent.)

As for recovery, the studio also offers an infrared sauna and a cold plunge, available in 30-minute private sessions. Memberships start at $120 for a basic plan, which includes four classes per month, and go up from there. First-time visitors are offered a complimentary class, along with a two-week unlimited option for $49. – Amanda Martell

A New Groove for Grooming

The Well Groomed Gentleman has entered a new chapter. Polina and Shawn Saparamadu have taken over the Miracle Mile barbershop, which has served the Coral Gables community since 2014. “As the previous owner was leaving Florida, it felt like the right time to jump in and reinvent this beloved pillar of the Coral Gables community,” says Polina.

The Saparamadus envision the space as more than a grooming destination. Their goal is to create an environment where men come not only for haircuts, facials, or nail services, but also to pause during the day to enjoy a drink, watch the game, play chess, or just take a break from their busy lives. To that end, the barbershop has undergone significant renovations, including interior upgrades throughout, like new barber chairs, a restored indoor lounge, veranda seating, an upgraded bar, and refreshed artwork. It also now hosts professional grooming and skincare products from brands like Reuzel, Olaplex, PHYTO, Goldwell, and Dr. Dennis Gross.

The transition marks the Saparamadus’ first experience owning a barbershop. Prior to this venture, the couple spent over a decade working in investment banking and private equity across the United States and Asia. They are now shifting from international advising to building a small, local business in the Gables. “The biggest surprise to us was how welcoming everyone in the community has been since we have taken over The Well Groomed Gentleman,” says Polina, who describes herself as “a woman on a mission.” – Amanda Martell
