Fitness & Wellness on the Go: Staying Healthy in Los Angeles
From scenic hikes to clean eats and wellness studios, here’s how to keep your routine strong while living and working in L.A.
Business travel or relocation doesn’t have to throw off your health routine — especially in Los Angeles, where wellness is more than a trend, it’s a lifestyle. Whether you're in town for a few days or a few months, LA makes it easy (and fun) to stay active, eat clean, and recharge in between meetings.
Here’s how to keep your mind and body in check while living that SoCal corporate life:
1. Outdoor Yoga in Runyon Canyon
Start or end your day with open-air yoga surrounded by sweeping views of the city. Runyon Canyon offers donation-based classes most mornings, attracting a healthy mix of locals and visitors.
2. Day Passes at Equinox or Barry’s Bootcamp
If you’re craving a high-end workout experience, LA delivers. Equinox has several sleek locations with everything from strength training to Pilates. Prefer something high-intensity? Barry’s Bootcamp (also widely available) is perfect for burning off that in-flight fatigue.
3. Scenic Workouts Along the Strand
The Marvin Braude Bike Trail — aka The Strand — runs 22 miles along the coast. Rent a bike or lace up your running shoes and enjoy one of the most picturesque cardio routes in the country.
4. Clean Eats at Erewhon or Sweetgreen
Eating clean in LA is easy and delicious. Erewhon Market is the epicenter of high-vibe health food, and Sweetgreen is a favorite for build-your-own salads that travel well for work lunches.
5. Sound Baths & Meditation at The Den
Need to de-stress after a long day of meetings? Check out The Den Meditation, one of LA’s most popular spots for guided meditation, sound baths, and breathwork sessions.
6. Hiking for the Soul: Griffith Park & Temescal Canyon
These two iconic hikes offer a healthy dose of cardio and clarity. Griffith Park’s trails lead to the Griffith Observatory, while Temescal Canyon offers Pacific views that are well worth the climb.
Wellness Tips for Business Travelers in LA:
-
Hydrate: LA’s climate is dry, and you’ll dehydrate faster than you think. Keep a water bottle on hand.
-
Book a massage: Local spas like The Now or Milk + Honey offer 30–60 minute treatments perfect for unwinding after travel.
-
Stay central: Our furnished apartments place you close to wellness studios, organic cafés, and open-air green spaces — so you never need to go far to stay balanced.
Stay Fit, Feel Good, and Thrive in LA
Whether you’re juggling meetings or navigating a longer-term relocation, your health doesn’t have to take a backseat. With a little intention (and a lot of sunshine), LA makes it easy to move, nourish, and recharge.
