Miami Named One of the Healthiest Cities in America as part of MINDBODY's 2023 Wellness Index Report

Miami is the second healthiest city in America! Mindbody announced the ranking of the Top 10 Healthiest Cities in America as part of the 2023 Mindbody Wellness Index. For the first time ever, San Francisco was ranked as the Healthiest City in America, knocking out Miami as the three-time winner.

To calculate this annual ranking, Mindbody surveyed over 17,000 adults in the 50 most populated US cities and ranked those cities from healthiest to least through a proprietary scoring algorithm. The rankings are based on a variety of factors, including how much residents exercise, how stressed they feel, the amount of rest they get, how many of them smoke, and how much alcohol they consume. We also look at how close they are to friends and family and whether they feel spiritually fulfilled.

"Each year it's so exciting to see what cities will make the top ten list, giving us an idea on just how residents prioritized their wellness. As the definition of wellness continues to evolve, the annual ranking of the Healthiest Cities in America look at various consumer health metrics that contribute to overall wellness." said Fritz Lanman, CEO of Mindbody. "After a few challenging years for the industry, it's especially exciting to see new cities enter the top ten, while seeing San Francisco jump to the top for the first year ever, showing us wellness is on the rise everywhere."

While Miami may not be at the top of the list this year, it's still at the top of its wellness game. The Magic City has the highest number of residents who exercise 90 minutes or more per week, with most of that time spent pumping iron. How do we know? The most popular workout in Miami is strength training. Residents also take relationships and spirituality seriously—Miami has the 4th highest number of residents who feel spiritually fulfilled and nearly 70% say they feel close to friends and family.

2023 Mindbody Wellness Index Top 10 Healthiest Cities in America:

  1. San Francisco, CA
  2. Miami, FL
  3. San Diego, CA
  4. Atlanta, GA
  5. Chicago, IL
  6. Alburquerque, NM
  7. Los Angeles, CA
  8. New York, NY
  9. Oakland, CA
  10. Tampa, FL

Fitness Professionals Can Work on Content Creation at Trainnr Studios in Delray

Originally an online fitness platform, Trainnr Studios in Delray Beach is now helping with content creation for local trainers. Learn more about the concept below!

The experience:

Trainnr Studios is a private fitness studio for content creation. It was started because they saw a shortage of access to quality fitness studios in South Florida where personal trainers and health and wellness content creators could create high quality digital content. Now they work with trainers from various fitness categories to create high-quality online workouts, programs, and content. They also provide digital content creators with a facility and professional production team so all they have to worry about when it comes to content creation is showing up.

What makes Trainnr Studios unique:

Trainers are always strapped for time, and it can be their biggest limiting factor when it comes to making a good living. If you are looking to level up your digital content while freeing up hours in your week to maximize your earnings potential, there is a team at Trainnr Studios to support you 100% of the way.

"We are the only dedicated private fitness studio in South Florida that offers professional digital content creation," said CEO Jeffry Smith. "When you come through our doors you get complete access to a dedicated fitness studio and team that can be used to create any and all content needed for you social media channels, website, or apps."

You should also know:

"Trainers are most effective when they can focus on doing what they do best - training and motivating their clients," said Smith. "Leveraging services like ours saves tons of time and effortlessly put out the highest quality content customers and clients demand in 2023."

Why trainers love it:

They love the time and effort they save by letting Trainnr Studios handle all the work that goes into shooting, editing and publishing digital content to grow their following or online workout library.

The extras:

There is a large list of equipment that trainers have access to when they use our studio, including but not limited to Rouge Kettlebells and dumbbells ranging from 5 to 100 lbs, a full squat rack, Olympic bar and bumper plates in all sizes, adjustable Rogue bench, and the best in class videography equipment and lighting.

How to join in:

All pricing is custom quoted packages that are customized and designed to fit a trainers need. There are packages starting as low as $249.

Location: 

Find Trainnr Studios at 101 S Congress Ave, Suite E, in Delray Beach.
