Health and Wellness in New York
There is not much to not love about New York – but Macy’s, donuts and supersized pizzas are not for me. Forget designer heels, Carrie Bradshaw and that romantic interlude atop the Empire State Building. I come to New York to immerse myself in the raw and organic New York way of life.
This city is an epicentre of yoga studios, wellness retreats, organic cafes and gourmet grocers. If you’re seeking your own wellness trip to NYC then here are a few things you may enjoy:
Wellness Hotels
Every wellness seeker needs a healthy hotel, one that is nourishing for the body and soul, and brimming with hot and healthy amenities. The James New York is luxe yet oozes calm and earthiness. Sunrise rooftop yoga classes are on offer twice a week and if yoga isn’t your thing, get outdoors and see the city sites while you sweat. Take out one of the guest bikes, do a workout session with celebrity personal trainer Oscar Smith, or join the 6km guided running tour.
No New York wellness guide would be complete without mentioning the Trump Hotel International and the Trump Hotel Soho, where you can request in-room yoga mats, weights and workout bands. The hotels offer guests fitness apparel and sneakers, so using the excuse “I forgot to pack my gym clothes” to get out of exercising is not an option. In case you need a bit of motivation to get you moving, iPods loaded with workout playlists are also available.
Bland and unhealthy room service menus are non-existent here, the Trump hotel has vegan, gluten-free, and organic choices, along with listing the nutrition facts. If you’re in serious need of a little post-workout protein, there’s the “quick bites” option that delivers healthy snacks in 15 minutes or less.
