I've been loving fuze, ethea and hot 8 and have found myself wanting to take class every single day. morning workouts are bringing me so much dopamine and really help me to focus at work (adhd). that said, I feel like my body isn't recovering enough and i'm finding random parts of my body are sore.. like my wrists and knees. Im curious to know how often you all are going, and how you balance classes with recovery? I stretch twice a day and foam roll/use lacrosse balls.

I am also curious to know how you are saving your hair and skin with these heated classes!

Not sure if we have a master post for this or not, but I am trying to fall back in love with nyc and am wanting to explore more underrated food spots. I cannot for the life of me find anywhere that sells traditional Norwegian fish soup (fiskeuppe) and I am dying to try it! yes, I could try and make it but that defeats the point of exploring nyc. does anyone know where I can get this?

I just learned about it this evening and booked a sculpt + strength class for later this week! The founding membership deals are insane with unlimited for $199 a month. I am debating on pulling the trigger because it says they only have 100 spots, but know that's objectively a terrible idea as I've not tried the studio yet. I like that all equipment is included, but am less than enthused about the (seeming) lack of showers? can anyone comment on the classes/studio/instructors? I know Haley Alexa teaches at practice room and I really like her pilates classes there! I hadn't heard of the other instructors.

hi!! I've recently become obsessed with heated workouts (shame because I primarily go to equinox classes and their heated classes do not seem all that heated) and am wanting recommendations for studios and teachers! I've been liking fuze house in Tribeca and the noho location of practice room. At fuze I like Andy, Makena, and Michelle. I've only taken 2 classes at practice room but thought Michelle for sculpt and Haley for pilates were both fantastic. Any other studios you all are loving?

Living in NYC was my childhood dream! I've loved it for the past 4 years but as I have gotten older (perhaps more rigid with my routines as well), I've started to feel like the constant stimulation of the city is taking it's toll on me. My quality of life here is objectively worse than it would be if I lived back home on the west coast, simply because I don't make enough to support myself and live super comfortably. My parents help me out a ton which I am so thankful for and is the only reason I can live in the west village, but I feel like a leech as I approach my late 20's. I have been wanting a simpler life as I've come to realize that my main priorities are health and wellness and I have zero desire for any of the late nights and parties. I also am quite jaded about dating here as I've been on SO many dates over the past 4 years. It exhausts me just thinking about it. Can anyone relate or share their own experiences with burnout in the city? I have a few months to decide if I want to renew my lease or move back home.

i have an equinox membership and typically take classes at 3 of the locations near me, but don’t always love the 7-8am offerings. I like to workout first thing in the morning before my brain has any time to convince me not to!! I took fuzehouse and loved but the classes at that time are all waitlisted. I’ve wanted to try practice room but the same situation applies. where else are we going that you can actually get into? preferably lower manhattan as I don’t want to spend 30+ minutes in transit at 6:30am lol.

hi ladies! I‘ve just healed my skin (fingers crossed!)from dermatitis that flared up this winter. I was doing zero therapy, cut out all actives, and took an antibiotic. my skin looks fine now but I have 4 massive blackheads that desperately need to go. I’m afraid of using any of my actives or my tret in case it flares again. I don't exfoliate right now just because my skin barrier was so damaged. any recs for places I can go and just get a quick extraction? my skin girl is in a diff state so im desperate

moved to nyc and have been obsessed with sey from Brooklyn. a barista in nyc told me to try futuro in downtown Phoenix as they use sey. any other recommendations? I’m in scottsdale but will go anywhere for a good cup!! Im really looking for a solid americano or pour over where the beans really shine.

Need advice from the girls who walk a lot!!

I genuinely love being on foot all the time and it’s done wonders for my mood but I feel like my legs are perpetually exhausted lately. Not even in a sore workout way just like a heavy/lead feeling. Going up my apartment stairs makes my hamstrings feel sooo spent, my legs feel restless at night, and I’ve noticed I’ve been avoiding workouts because my legs already feel pre fatigued from daily life :(

I don’t even realize how much I’m walking until I check my phone and somehow I’m at like 14k+ steps from just existing around the city

I already stretch constantly, foam roll, do legs up the wall, magnesium/electrolytes etc. can you guys relate and if so what actually helps people who are on their feet all the time here. Better shoes (I wear on‘s- spell check me on that maybe haha)? Compression socks? More food? Less walking?? (not emotionally ideal)
