California's City of Angels might be the world capital of wellness. By the numbers, Los Angeles eats more fruits and vegetables, spends more money on fitness and has more fun than any U.S. city. Coincidence? We're not sure, but if you're dreaming of an abundance of niche fitness studios, healthy dining venues and an all-around wellness culture for your first post-COVID getaway, this balmy metropolis by the sea does not underdeliver. From juice bars to yoga studios, sound baths to sweat lodges, acupuncture to cryotherapy, cannabis, crystals and more, L.A. offers every wellness option under the sun, in the sun. Read on to discover a few of our favorites.
REVITALIZE
Whether you want to be out in the open air or under the neon lights, there are plenty of places to get your body moving in L.A. Start your day out in the crisp morning air with a hike at Runyon Canyon. At the summit, you'll enjoy a panoramic view of the entire city drenched in golden morning light. If you don't live near the ocean, consider stepping outside your workout routine by enrolling in surf lessons. Not only will you enjoy more time outdoors, you'll also have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of a skill that requires balance, core strength and mental focus. Looking for a more traditional class? Get moving with a fast-paced class at SoulCycle or sweat alongside celeb regulars at Rise Nation.
