Get a massage.

You can choose from a Swedish/Relaxing Massage, a Deep Tissue Massage, or a Therapeutic Massage all for the same prices. And if 50-minutes just isn’t enough (we get it), don’t worry—they offer several time options up to 110 minutes. Here's where to book, because we know you’re already planning.

Test your strength.
Strength training is an important part of any exercise routine if you want to build muscle and get fit. At Regymen Fitness, you can burn, box, or build with different exercises depending on your goal. Their HIIT workout is our favorite, because it incorporates cardio stations, kettlebells, TRX, dumbbells, core exercises, and stabilization movements in just 60 minutes! This new year, they’re offering a $99 Unlimited Family Add-on Membership at participating studios—so you can feel the burn.

Try a new recovery method.
Is it the post-workout soreness that’s stopping you from trying high-intensity classes? Sometimes, stretching just doesn’t cut it. There’s plenty of other recovery methods you can try this new year to help ease the burn and get you ready for your next class. We love cryotherapy, a treatment that exposes your body to extreme cold for several benefits. Ever see football players taking ice baths? It’s the same concept. This new year, Restore Cryotherapy is offering a ‘New Decade, New Start’ deal, so you can receive four services per month when you become a member. Find a location near you!

Sweat through your lunch break.
While many fitness classes take at least an hour, some are just short enough to squeeze in on your lunch break. For example, BODYROK offers 40-minute, full-body, strength training group classes on their custom reformer, so you can get your sweat on and head back to the office. This New Year, they’re offering a New Client Intro Month Unlimited for $129 and a New Year Membership Special where you can purchase any new membership and get one month free (with a 4-month commitment.)

Black-owned Beauty and Wellness Businesses to Know
Share
February is Black History Month—a celebration of the achievements and contributions of African Americans in society. As the beauty and wellness industry becomes a more welcoming and inclusive space for all, we are taking this opportunity to continue to shine a light on the gap of inclusivity and diversity in our industry, and take action to promote, empower, and honor the Black community that shapes and grows wellness.
While the beauty industry is making improvements—it's important to showcase and support Black businesses and the creatives in this space every day. To honor them, we're shouting out some of our favorite Black-owned beauty and wellness businesses to support.
1. Beauty Bin
Beauty Bin is a full-service day spa and dry bar located in Asheville, NC. With a focus on inclusivity for people of all backgrounds, genders, and races, their MO is to match the outer beauty of every client to their inner beauty. From eyelash extensions and hydrafacials to waxing and massage, Beauty Bin is a one-stop-shop for all the spa services.
2. KIKA Stretch Studio
The KIKA Method® is a gentle assisted stretching process that loosens up tight muscles freeing your body from pain and stress. By practicing this method, clients can experience decreased muscle tension, increased energy, enhanced flexibility, a substantial reduction in stress, improved posture and relaxation, and increased mental clarity. While its headquarters is located in Las Vegas, NV, they have multiple locations sprinkled throughout the US, including Atlanta, New York City, and Dallas—just to name a few.
3. Kimberly Coleman Salon
At Kimberly Coleman Salon, their philosophy begins with promoting healthy tresses, elegant sets, unique accouterments, perfect pampering of hands and feet, and precision cuts. Known for working with models and celebrities, they fully appreciate and celebrate the diversity of their clientele which also includes super moms and warrior dads.
4. Pressed Roots
Pressed Roots was developed with the simple concept in mind—that everyone deserves access to easy, and quality hair care. What started as a single pop-up shop in Boston, grew to a multi-city pop-up tour, and is now slated to be the largest national hair salon franchise specializing in the care and styling of highly textured hair, they launched their first flagship location in Dallas, TX.
5. SW3AT
Jersey City resident, Alyza Brevard-Rodriguez started SW3AT. The company began as a fitness apparel line in 2015 but evolved into a sanctuary catered to health and wellness now known as SW3AT Sauna Studio—the first infrared sauna studio in Jersey City. The healing power of infrared heat therapy is a phenomenal option for holistic health proven to strengthen the immune system and provide relief from joint stiffness and muscle pain. It is also supportive of any fitness program as it aids in weight loss (you can torch up to 900 calories in a 45-minute session) while also detoxifying your body from some of the most harmful toxins.
6. The TEN Nail Bar
Kelli Coleman and Anika Jackson opened The TEN Nail Bar in Detroit to address a void in their city. They saw a need for a quality, modern nail bar that could also serve as a fun social space for Detroit’s residents and professionals. They designed the TEN to provide their clients with a #Perfect10 experience—where you can relax, enjoy music, a drink, your friends, a clean and precise manicure, and a much-needed break from all your hectic days.
7. Bettye O Day Spa
Located in the beautiful downtown Hyde Park Chicago area, Bettye O Day Spa specializes in first-class treatments. They aim to nurture and relax each of their clients with individualized and innovative therapeutic techniques. From body wraps and massages to facials and hydrotherapy, this day spa promises to be a safe place for healing to occur.
