Ever wish you could have a personal masseuse to work on those tight muscles after every intense reformer class? Well, you can—and you don’t need a celeb budget either. This personal massage therapist comes in the form of a short, sometimes vibrantly coloured cylinder that costs less than a tube of lipstick. I’m obviously talking […]

Last fall I was offered the chance to work out with a Tier-3 (read: top level) personal trainer at Toronto’s Equinox Bay Street. To some, this might sound torturous, but for a health editor and fitness fanatic, it’s the fitness equivalent of a spa day. (The change rooms feature private showers with Kiehl’s products, a […]

A photo posted by @karliekloss on Mar 9, 2016 at 7:57am PST We’re obsessed with how celebrities work out. What better way to get motivated to hit the gym ourselves than by looking at an Instagram photo of a hot celeb bod, and realizing we could look like that, too? And the best way to […]

Looking in the mirror at the gym serves a variety of purposes. It helps us keep an eye on our form and allows us to track our physical progress—i.e. check ourselves out. Not to mention it also helps with those full-body selfies (guilty as charged). But beyond the smoke and, well, mirrors, is a highly […]

For much of my 20s, I spent my days as a high-heel-wearing entertainment TV producer and my nights as a competitive boxer, wearing a blood-stained T-shirt. At one point, I also dabbled in designing floral headpieces while dominating the Tuesday night axe-throwing league. I could keep going, but the point is I’m a living contradiction: […]

Around the white, light-filled studio, flashes of lime green, fuchsia and black Lycra blur as a roomful of people sway together, balance one another overhead, roll around or gently connect palm to palm. We’re at 80 Gladstone—a movement studio in Toronto opened by yoga teacher Diane Bruni—and this is Contact Improv, which involves moving spontaneously for an hour and a half while maintaining a point of contact with a partner. You sweat and gain strength from bracing your core and supporting your weight so you can lift your partner off the ground, if the urge strikes you, but you’re also forced to be present and mindful, as the movement is always changing. “It’s a wonderful metaphor for life,” says Bruni, who also offers classes taught by a Shaolin monk. “His spiritual practice is qi gong and tai chi and kung fu. It’s not praying and it’s not sitting; it’s all in movement.”

The search for spiritual stand-ins is on. “The yoga studio is a modern-day church, in a way. It’s where people go to be with their community,” says Jeff Krasno, co-founder of Wanderlust, a festival of meditation, yoga, movement and more that takes place in 14 cities worldwide—including Whistler (July 31 to Aug. 4) and Mont-Tremblant (Aug. 21 to Aug. 24)—and expects about 120,000 participants this year. “It’s about being around people who share your values and beliefs. [It’s] not religion in the more theocratic sense, but there’s an ethos to live mindfully.” In 2012, Krasno spoke at the Gospel of Sweat, held at New York’s Riverside Church and spearheaded by Lululemon, a company known for extolling the virtues of self-empowerment and inner development to its staff. Yogis and fitness aficionados gathered to sermonize about how a growing wellness-focused contingent is “praying through their pores.”

If you’re like me, sometimes the hardest part of going to the gym (besides actually going to the gym) is figuring out what to do once I get there. But now, thanks to Nike, that “what to do at the gym?” guesswork is no more. The sportswear juggernaut recently launched the Nike Training Club (NTC) app and with over 115 workouts and 120 drills available, it’s basically like having a peppy personal trainer in your pocket.
