GOOD VIBRATIONS
The healthy lifestyle has found a natural fit here in the South Bay. While many professional and Olympic athletes call this community home, a vast majority of residents also pursue some kind of wellness regime—be it fitness, nutrition or beauty. Juice bars, Pilates and yoga studios, boots camps … for many these are more than a hobby or scheduled activity. They are an essential way of life. So what’s behind the South Bay’s intimate relationship with health? Location. Location. Location. We have access to, hands down, one of the best environmental landscapes in the state. You can surf, paddleboard or swim in the Pacific … hit a volleyball, tennis ball or hockey puck with friends … or walk The Strand one day and a hike a trail in Portuguese Bend the next. Why? It’s all in our own backyard. And we live on the beach … who doesn’t want to look good year-round in a swimsuit? It’s all a part of our natural fabric. A community that appreciates good health needs a resource that ties our local experts on the topic together.
