These wellness destinations house fitness centers, group classes, dining areas, full-service spas, and some even have coworking spaces. With so much
I know it’s a bad habit, but I definitely don’t always change my clothes immediately after a sweaty workout. My schedule has been packed with errands, work obligations, and events recently, so sometimes a shower between an at-home cycling class and a trip to the grocery store (then the dry cleaners and the bank) doesn’t
In March 2020, when New Yorkers could not go to gyms, I realized that I had to bring the gym to my apartment. In doing so, I realized just how expensive equipment can be.

There’s nothing like post-workout soreness after some serious leg exercises. While your hams and glutes should feel the burn after lunges, you may have a problem if your knees seemed strained instead.

Supplements are a an essential part of my daily wellness routine, but sometimes I wonder if they’re actually doing what they say they’ll do on the box.
