From the moody gym lighting to the glass refrigerators stacked with eucalyptus-infused towels, Equinox encompasses all things luxury fitness. Still, a gym with its own spa and steam room comes at a price.

The concoction may sound far from appetizing, but with TikTok creators claiming it’s helped them lose significant weight in the

TikTok sleep routines have inspired me to do better. I spend the last few minutes of most nights mindlessly scrolling, watching creators walk through their carefully curated sleep rituals, sharing their favorite sleep products, sleep supplements, and mindfulness practices that help them doze off faster and sleep more soundly. The elaborate routines might not be

Fertility is a complicated thing, and there are several factors that dictate when and how a person conceives. So when we hear about “hacks” to getting pregnant — like the idea that Mucinex can help people conceive — we tend to be wary. Right now there’s a lot of chatter online about people getting pregnant

With so many ways to exercise, and so many things to focus your workouts on (leg day, fixing back pain, stronger arms, etc.), mobility is easy to overlook when planning your workouts. However, it’s key for your overall health, fitness, and movement — particularly when it comes to your hips. “If your body was a

Rest and recovery are just as important as your actual run. In the final episode of the three-part runner’s series presented by 26.2 Team Milk, fitness instructor Ashley Joi walks you through a 15-minute recovery circuit, showing you how to prevent injury, repair tired muscles, and relieve muscle soreness. Use this quick workout as a

Artist and musician Becca Thomas knew something was wrong when they went from working two jobs, making art, and exercising consistently to feeling winded from a single flight of stairs. It all started with a case of mononucleosis in 2017. “I never fully recovered after that and knew something was deeply wrong with my body,”

When you’re on a weight loss journey, it’s understandable to want to eat healthy foods that help you achieve your goals. If you want results fast, trends like the watermelon diet may sound particularly appealing. Watermelon has many health benefits, like possibly boosting your heart health and immunity, per a recent study. But what is the watermelon diet,

The Paris 2024 Olympics are quickly approaching and you are guaranteed to see tons of familiar faces (think: Katie Ledecky and Simone Biles). Other faces will be new — some appearing so fresh that you may wonder just how old athletes have to be to compete at the Olympic Games. The answer, as it turns

There is nothing worse than when a summer cold overlaps with seasonal allergies. But before you find symptom relief in over-the-counter cough medicine, you may find yourself asking: can I take cough medicine and allergy medicine together? The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns against taking more than one drug at a time — especially

I’m 24 years old, and I’m a proud pad wearer. Whenever it comes up in conversation or someone learns that I have never used a tampon, I’m typically met with one variation of the same handful of responses: “But why?” “Wait . . . you’ve never used a tampon before?” And my favorite: “I could

If you’ve ever stepped foot in a group fitness class, you’ve probably heard the cue “Listen to your body.” Like many clichés, this teacher-favorite phrase holds a kernel of truth but doesn’t tell the whole complex story of what it means to know how to move your body in a given moment.

“You’ll be happier when you’re skinnier.” These words lingered in my head as I sat on my couch at home, staring blankly at the waiting room screen on the telemedicine call.

Throughout my years as a trainer, I’ve noticed that some people love to train their upper body, whereas others tend to focus more on their lower body. There’s nothing wrong with having a personal preference (I’m a fan of leg day, myself), but it’s important to spend time strengthening all muscles in order to prevent
