The greatest sticker shock I’ve found during my time in New York has easily been gym-related. First, it was the Equinox membership at $130/month (that price is now much higher). Then, it was the $35 per-class fee for designer spin classes. And I’ll never forget the conversation with a few friends about how they don’t actually work out in their lululemon yoga pants because they’re far too nice for that! More
Blisstree writers and friends play fitness models in an attempt to show that “fit” bodies can be diverse bodies—and yoga pants don’t need to cost $90 to get the job done. More
Depression can take many things from an individual, but here’s one you probably haven’t heard before: The disease robs some sufferers of the anti-inflammatory benefits of exercise and alcohol. More
If the groundhog was right, warmer weather is imminent. That motivates some to ramp up their workouts, and who can blame them? There’s a lot of pressure for women to prep their “bikini body” ramping up this time of year. But many of the best reasons to get or keep moving have nothing to do with the scale (or anything itsy bitsy). Let the spring sun inspire you to push your fitness routine a little father, and it could benefit your brain, disease risk, mindfulness and longevity. More
I believe that almost all things are better when you are getting paid to do them. Imagine a world wherein we are all on payroll for everyday things. Money to run errands! Jewelry for doing the dishes! Cash for our jobs — well, more cash, I guess, but you get the point. But what about when you lose weight for money? More
“I’m allergic to exercise.”
We’ve all said it (or at least, I certainly have) as an excuse for not working out. And in a way, exercise can lead to some allergylike symptoms: sweating, difficulty breathing, fatigue, nausea…it’s unfun, to say the least, when you have to work out and it’s not something you genuinely want to do. But what if this were a literal statement? More
Sleep is one of the most basic human needs, yet millions of Americans don’t get enough of it most nights. Whether it’s due to anxiety, insomnia, work, pain, technology or simply not having enough time, it’s been increasingly hard for … More

In the battle of the best exercises to lose weight, every single person has a different opinion based on personal preference. Myself? I absolutely despise running, but classify myself as a bona-fide gym class junkie. Along with my good friend, BlissTree’s own Gym Classy Lady, I prefer the energy of a group environment and have tried a myriad of gym classes over the years. My competitive spirit takes over and I’m determined to outshine every other person in the class and get personal praise from the instructor (I know, I know… I have issues.) And friends, let me tell you – there’s nothing I love more than when my yoga teachers have me demonstrate a pose. It might as well be gym class crack. More

Thanksgiving was the first time I my mom’s cousin after she got weight loss surgery in Mexico. When I commented on how thin she was, she transformed into a bad infomercial: “You can be thin too! Just take $5,000 to Mexico. They’ll cut your stomach in half and you’ll be good to go.” Yup–it’s just that easy. A quick flight below the border, an illegal surgery and my nonexistent life savings to be supermodel thin… If only. More
When you think personal trainer, do you think of some buff guy who goes to rich women’s houses and looms over them while they fling pink dumbbells around?
