The Sunriver Area Chamber of Commerce welcomes Flex + Flow Fitness Studio, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices | Northwest Real Estate and South Bend Bistro as new members to the Sunriver Area Chamber of Commerce.

Flex + Flow Fitness Studio

Flex + Flow Fitness Studio owners Leah Spezza and Heather Sainsbury are excited to bring a variety of group fitness classes to the Sunriver Community.

They are planning to offer Barre, Pilates, Stretch, Jazzercise, Strength and other classes at their business, located in the Sunriver Business Park.

Spezza and Sainsbury are passionate about fitness and saw a big need for a fitness facility in the Sunriver area that helps foster community with a variety of small group fitness classes.

“We really want to create an inclusive community where no matter where people are on their fitness journey they feel welcome to attend a class,” Spezza stated. “Fitness classes can be intimidating, but you are welcome at Flex + Flow whether it’s your first ever fitness class or you’re a regular workout goer. We want to help people establish and keep healthy routines and share that fitness can be fun.

Spezza is a certified Jazzercise Instructor and a licensed massage therapist, with an extensive competitive swimming background that helped foster her love of group fitness/sports from a young age.

Sainsbury is an entrepreneur at heart with an extensive background in dance – both teaching and competing- which includes ballet, jazz and ballroom. She also was a trained ballroom dance instructor at Fred Astaire Dance Studio in San Diego, Calif. She will be teaching Barre fitness classes with training through IBBFA (International Ballet Barre Fitness Association). Sainsbury loves many different forms of movement, and she hopes to continue to train in Pilates in the near future.

Flex + Flow will be offering a wide range of membership options from unlimited classes to punch card passes to fit into a wide variety of budgets. They will offer a Founding Member opening special membership rate to the first 30 people that join on an unlimited class membership for only $89 a month with no joining fees!

You can learn more information as Flex + Flow gets closer to opening in February 2025 on their social media @FlexFlowSunriver on both Instagram and Facebook or their website http://flexflowfitness.square.site.

South Bend Bistro

David Stofle and Culley Calkins are the new owners of South Bend Bistro, a fine dining restaurant in The Village at Sunriver.

They look forward to welcoming the new year with friends and family by celebrating the fresh beginning of South Bend Bistro.

Stofle has worked at South Bend Bistro for more than 10 years, and he is a level two sommelier with an incredible encyclopedic knowledge of wine, food, and beverages. His friendly and knowledgeable service as well as his technical expertise has been a huge asset for South Bend Bistro for quite some time.

Calkins has worked at South Bend Bistro for five years as the general manager and has more than 30 years of food and beverage industry experience. Calkins has worked in Sunriver, and he is highly recognizable for his time spent behind the bar at Marcello’s and Sunriver Brewing Co. His expertise with food and beverage knows no limits and his welcoming and familiar style of service is thoroughly embraced by all.

After working for the last five years together, Calkins and Stofle were looking for an opportunity to have a place of their own and had asked owner Laura Bliss for the first right of refusal in the case that she ever wanted to sell South Bend Bistro. Bliss graciously obliged when she decided to sell the restaurant, and Calkins and Stofle were able to acquire the restaurant as the new owners on Dec. 16, 2024.

Calkins and Stofle have long been the stronghold of the restaurant and are passionate about the experiences they are able to create at such a special restaurant. They have no intentions of any major changes and are instead more focused on putting their own spin on what is already an incredibly intimate and inviting place to share delicious discoveries. They aspire to grow the business from a hidden gem in the heart of Sunriver to a more accessible and discoverable destination in Central Oregon.

They have already brought a local’s special back to the forefront of operations. There is an email list for those interested in signing up on their website southbendbistro.com that goes out to everyone detailing what the special will be. Wednesdays are typically the day that the specials are run and locals who mention the promotional email receive 20% off the price of the special!

Reservations are recommended and can be made by visiting South Bend Bistro’s website, calling 541-593-3881 or on the OpenTable app.
