Where To Savor The Healthiest Meals:

#1 True Food Kitchen: True Food is a national chain that takes nutritious eating seriously. Founded by renowned integrative medicine doctor Andrew Weil, the lengthy menu centers on making people feel better with better food. It’s packed full of eat-the-rainbow dishes like Korean noodle bowls and quinoa burgers.

#2 Ching Ching Cha: Stepping into the tranquil confines of this Georgetown tea house feels a world apart from the noise and bustle of Wisconsin Avenue NW and M Street NW just one block away. The local favorite lets customers unwind over pots of traditional oolong, green, or black tea. There’s also tisane, or herbal, medicinal teas. Meanwhile, Ching Ching Cha offers an accompanying menu of traditional, simply-prepared Chinese food, and small bites.

#3 Bluestone Lane: The West End location of this Australian chain of cafes features wellness lattes, cold-pressed juices, coffee, organic teas, plus a health-focused brunch menu. Popular selections include an avocado smash, signature Rainbow Bowl, and multigrain porridge.

#4 Flower Child: “Hippie food” is a compliment at this recently opened West End cafeteria favored by George Washington University students and the Foggy Bottom lunch crowd. Flower Child’s food is vegetarian and vegan friendly. The national chain’s menu focuses on casual, produce-filled dishes like the Mother Earth ancient grain bowl and vegan ramen.

#5 Beefsteak: “Vegetables, unleashed” is the motto of José Andrés’s fast-casual business — and for good reason. With Andrés-quality dishes ranging from customizable warm bowls to sandwiches and salads, guests can easily rack up their daily dose of veggies in one sitting. Protein-packed ingredients like chicken sausage and mozzarella are available as add-ons, too.

Where To Break A Sweat:

#1 Barry’s: Head to Dupont Circle to experience one of Barry’s signature HIIT workouts and burn up to 1,000 calories in just an hour! Guests enter the Red Room to partake in a series of high-intensity exercises in short intervals while vibing out with the energetic trainers, red lights, and stellar playlist that accompany a classic Barry’s workout. Choose from classes led on treadmills, bikes, or simply the floor. Each day, the HIIT routine is altered to focus on targeted muscle groups, so check their website to plan out your week’s classes in advance. The gym also has an on-site protein shake bar, as well as fully-stocked showers and a sleek locker room.

#2 Elevate: Elevate’s signature HIIT class mixes mobility, strength, and endurance to create a balanced workout that blends intervals, circuits, and more. The result? A 50-minute workout that’s challenging, fast-paced, and efficient. Each coach spends at least four months in Elevate’s coaching candidate program before hitting the floor, so you can rest assured you’re in good hands when you break a sweat here.

#3 Equinox: This Internet-loved members-only club has four locations around the DMV, each with its own perks. Enjoy a boxing studio, juice press, and luxe locker room (among other amenities) at Equinox’s two DC locations. Or, pamper yourself at the Bethesda and Tysons locations with the help of refreshing indoor pools and eucalyptus steam rooms. In addition to classic gym equipment, the club offers a selection of about 100 classes per week. Not near your home studio? No worries. Download the Equinox app for live-streamed and on-demand classes from certified instructors.

#4 Reformation Fitness: Can’t stand working out alone? Reformation Fitness is known throughout the city for its intimate group fitness classes — and it might be the best choice for you. What to expect? Guests receive the personal attention of a trainer without compromising on the energy of larger classes you know and love. Here, you’ll get to try workouts featuring reformer pilates, barbell strength training, HIIT, and metabolic conditioning (to name just a few).
