My Houzz: Mario Lopez Gives His Sister a Family Fitness Studio
Most people associate Mario Lopez with dancing. The two-time Emmy-winning host of Extra, former Dancing with the Stars contestant and Saved by the Bell star honed his dance moves alongside his kid sister, Marissa Lopez Wong, while growing up in Chula Vista, California. Recently, Lopez surprised his sister and her family with a garage addition that contains a dance and fitness studio for their home in Bellaire, Texas.

The dream space - I would love a place to dance and meditate in my future home... One day!
Kailee Wong? OMGosh - he's a former Texas linebacker. LOL Coolio. Even better is Mario...... my bro would laugh at me... but then we always help each other out. Family is great. Thumbs up to Mario, his sister Marissa and her hubby Kailee and their kids. They will enjoy that gorgeous studio for sure.
I just had to chuckle because I'm building a cottage in the woods wildlife habitat. And I'm searching for an interior decorator. Cindy Yates & Chairma Designs are on my list as a potential. Not sure about the distance between Houston & my house which would me additional expenses for travel, etc. Still thinking about it. LOL
Great idea to add the extra space above the garage! And those dimples on Mario though ;)
Great Job! Nice Video. Very inspiring!
Such a great surprise! Beautiful space! beautiful show of affection! LOVE MARIO! congrats to the Wong Family.
Love it! A great space for a great family!
What a well done, beautiful, multipurpose family space! It's great to see another story of generosity and family closeness. Thanks for sharing....
Can you give out the info on the tracks, attachments used for the workout wall?
Hi, Ginny. The workout wall panels are from Isawall Systems.
pretty awesome blessing
I always love these kinds of stories. I wish I have a family member to gift me some home improvement project :) Or even just to help with decisions and offer moral support.
What amazes me the most is how everybody is so happy and friendly with everything that's being done. Wow!
My husband would forever be suspicious and feel that for sure everybody's out to rob him blind LOL He'd never just click on an image and add it to his cart! It's bound be cheaper and just as good elsewhere!
This of course is why we hardly ever get anything done properly or in a timely manner.
That was just so sweet for Mario to do for his sister and family. Family is everything.
LOV IT!!!!!
What a kind gustier to his family and an amazing use of a "garage"
Mario you are so awesome!! I wish I would of had a big brother like you. God Bless

Wildly a #10. Bravo
That was incredible video and what a cool family!

Love the use of space. No need to move to get the space you need, innovative uses of the garage or yard you already have!
@pachota: Large white sheepskin pillows are easily found. It also helps if you want to buy local in and around your area or prefer online. Easiest way to shop is to search using your browser "large white sheepskin pillows" and add in the name of your town or city if you want to see them in person rather than online.
BTW, I did a quick search and found many places that carry them. You could probably find them on Houzz if you search the products section above. You can even click on the links in the story with the photo about the pillows. :)
Ahhh glad you liked them- those were actually my personal pillows! That I've since replaced! Pretty sure they are ava on Houzz- We sell the sheep skin pillows-(26x26) great quality- good fill material- about $195 each - come in an array of colors. 20 x 20 are $118 each - better for a soft- not large enough for a floor pillow.
Thanks for watching the show-
Cindy
He is such a sweet brother! The room is just so amazing I'm in love with it. Very functional. Great teamwork too!
very cool beutiful
Love the unique room type, "family fitness studio". It is so personal to sister's studio and what they love to do together. And what a fantastic Houston family! Small business owners, raising great kids, active in their community, and Houston proud!
Congratulation Cindy! Looks terrific.
Thx Tim!!! C
Thanks for your comment- they are a really loving family and needed a multi function space- dance, exercise, movie night, and hang out space for their kids, friends and family of all ages.
How great is that? Great job everyone.
