The Best 8 Workout Spots That Will Actually Motivate You To Workout

In This Article:

Sometimes I wake up and I have absolutely no motivation to go work out. Everyone has been there, and knows the feeling of not wanting to leave your bed. But these places are on my list of workouts I actually enjoy doing (crazy, right) or places I've heard from friends that they cannot get enough of.

1. Soul Cycle

Everyone and their mother knows about Soul Cycle by now, but they have such fun cycling classes and the music is the best – to be perfectly honest.

2. Flywheel

OK, so it's pretty similar to Soul Cycle, but you can watch your "score" on the screen and see where you rank in comparison with the rest of the class which is pretty cool. They also have a barre class that I personally love more than most of the other classes I've tried.

3. Yoga Spark

I have grown to love Bikram yoga, and Yoga Spark is so much fun – especially their night time candlelit class where they dim the lights and use little candles to light the room

4. Orange Theory

I personally haven't had the chance to try this spot, but my friend raves about it so it must be great, right? It's literally next on my places that I want to go so I guess we will see what happens when I finally get the chance to try it out!

5. Equinox

I joined the gym this summer while I'm home and the classes are so fun. I really want to try the treadmill classes – I've heard they are similar to Orange Theory! The gym itself is awesome too and literally always crowded.

6. Bikram Yoga Rye Brook

I know, another Bikram class, but this one is different. Their HIIT Pilates class is in the hot room and is SO hard. I literally sweat so much and feel so good afterwards.

7. The Tracy Anderson Method

This is another one I have yet to try, but my mom told me about it and the classes sound so interesting, especially how the exercises in the classes change each week so you can't get bored. Classes are mainly in New York City, and I know there are hundreds of other options once you hit Manhattan, but this sounded cool and is definitely a hit with the celebrity crowds.

8. My basement

Yes, I know this is not a workout class, but some days when I have no motivation or it's a rainy day and I don't want to head out, my basement gym is the next best thing. I can just walk downstairs and accomplish a workout in the comfort of my own house. I also love being able to blast my own music and just do what I want that day instead of following instructions in a class.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
