MY FIT CITY: LOS ANGELES by Joey Gonzalez

Posted on March 02, 2014 by Sasha Hartley

One of our favourite things about fitness is the great variety, from Bootcamp to Zumba, Spin to Parkour. There is something for everyone. But not only that, everywhere around the world seems to celebrate fitness differently. This month we plan to check out the fittest cities around the world to inspire us to mix up our fitness routine and try something new.
First up...The City of Angels...and seriosuly fit bodies: Los Angeles.
Sunshine, palm trees, and green smoothies a plenty...LA is definitely a fit girls dream city. Whether you're an avid cyclist, dedicated yogi or love a great trail run LA can provide them all! We caught up with Joey Gonzalez from the famous Barry's Bootcamps to discover his 'top ten fit spots' in LA.
 
LOS ANGELES FIT 10
1. Best outdoor workout: Runyon Park with my dogs, a fantastic trail run in the sun.
2. Best healthy café: GREENLEAF CHOP SHOP (Beverly Hills, Century City, Costa Mesa and throughout Equinox cafes) Make sure you try out the Pine-Kale-Ada Green Juice!
