Wellness isn’t just about movement or recovery, it should be mindful, restorative experience. The energy of the spaces we step into for fitness and rejuvenation play a huge role in how we feel and what we get from the experience. The design – through the architecture, lighting, and ambiance – plays just as big of a role as the workouts and treatments themselves. Here’s a curated list of some of the most aesthetic havens in LA, where design and well-being seamlessly intertwine. Whether you’re looking for an infrared-heated workout, a meditative sound bath, or a holistic spa escape, these spaces redefine self-care in the most aesthetically stunning way.
