AKA BEVERLY HILLS DEBUTS TWO NEW LIVE IT! EXPERIENCES INCLUDING PERSONAL CELEBRITY
STYLING & SOCAL FITNESS ADVENTURES



Beverly Hills, CA – August 29, 2018 AKA Beverly Hills, which caters to those seeking luxury furnished accommodations for one week or longer, announces today the debut of two new additions to its ever-popular LIVE IT! Program: personalized styling with stylist-to-the-stars, Erin Walsh, and deluxe SoCal fitness adventures with Gentry Jackson. These newest offerings are aimed at enriching the long-stay resident experience and wholly embody all that Southern California has to offer.

The AKA motto is: “Don’t just visit, live it!” This bold statement led to the creation of LIVE IT!, a lifestyle program that caters to the needs of long-stay guests with life-enriching opportunities while away from home for extended periods of time. AKA Beverly Hills’ LIVE IT! program provides residents with unique opportunities to enjoy new experiences, learn new skills and develop new talents while residing in Los Angeles. AKA Beverly Hills’ current lineup of offerings includes a private Helicopter day-trip to Napa, surf lessons in Malibu with Sergio Peñaloza and horseback riding through Griffith Park, among others.

Personal Celebrity Styling with Erin Walsh
Residents who admire the glitz, glamour and style of Hollywood’s brightest stars will have the opportunity to meet with celebrity stylist Erin Walsh to curate a brand new wardrobe fit for the red carpet. Walsh’s distinguished career began in the fashion department at Vogue. Today, she dresses A-listers including, Kerry Washington, Jake Gyllenhaal, Zachary Quinto, Sarah Jessica Parker, Lily Aldridge, Thandie Newton, Alison Brie and Maggie Gyllenhaal, among many others. Her consulting work spans from brands including Hugo Boss, New York and Co, Stewart Weitzman, Tory Burch, Neutrogena, and John Frieda. Ranging from $1,800 for a half-day experience and $3,600 for a full-day experience, this ultra-luxe offering available exclusively at AKA Beverly Hills includes:

  • Personal Shopping Spree: Walsh will schedule a one-on-one consultation to understand each resident’s specific style and vision for their wardrobe, and personally escort them on a luxurious private shopping spree along the iconic Rodeo Drive, which is just steps from the property.
  • Custom Styling Session: Walsh will show residents how to dress – and feel – like a star, with a custom styling session in-suite at AKA Beverly Hills, utilizing items already in their closet, or newly-purchased.

Deluxe Fitness Adventures with Gentry Jackson
Gentry Jackson's unique experiences are an aspirational bridge to an extraordinary way of living, with offerings such as rock climbing by the beach, hiking in the hills, and more. The exclusive fitness offerings include (rates vary per activity):
  • Rock Climbing in Malibu or Joshua Tree: Residents of any level can take part in rock climbing sessions with choices in Malibu or Joshua Tree, two of California’s most iconic settings, led by the Gentry Jackson coaching team.
  • Stairway to the Stars: Also led by a personal fitness expert, this hike winds up a series of “secret” stairs and trails and arrives right at the doorstep of Griffith Observatory. From there, residents will continue onward and upward to one of the best panoramic views in Los Angeles.
  • Personal Training, Mobility and Restorative Sessions: Gentry Jackson and their fitness arm, The Grind, exist to inspire passion and purpose through adventure and fitness. For 60 minutes, the program will challenge perceptions of the natural world and your place within it. Sessions are accessible to everyone and flexible enough to accommodate all ages and fitness levels.
