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

The Underline, a 10-mile linear park, urban trail, and outdoor art and performance space under the elevated Metrorail line, is about to enter its final stretch in Miami. With a second, 2.14-mile phase well under construction and progressing fitfully to a mid-2023 completion date, Miami-Dade County public works planners and their partners at the nonprofits Friends of the Underline and the Underline Conservancy are simultaneously fast-tracking planning and design for the linear park’s last and longest section.

Last week, the county and Underline staff and volunteers launched a series of meetings to gather public input for the project’s third and final phase, a 7.36-mile segment running from the edge of Miami’s Coconut Grove to the Metrorail terminus at Dadeland South. The segment runs through three municipalities — Miami, Coral Gables and South Miami — as well as unincorporated county territory and five Metrorail stations. The path will also go over at least three canals and waterways, at least one of which — the Coral Gables waterway — will require construction of a new footbridge.

On the wish list during Thursday’s meeting, among other requests: a skate park, tables for chess and courts for bocce bowling, and pickleball. Planners noted that wide spaces along the Underline pathway near Downtown Dadeland would provide ample space for sports and recreational facilities. A second in-person meeting was held Saturday morning at the Coral Gables Museum, with a third, online-only gathering set for Monday evening.

Next year will see more public meetings as planners and landscape architects unveil their designs and proposals for more than a dozen recreational “living spaces” or amenities along the final segment’s length, while laying out a precise construction schedule. The project’s managers say they have compressed seven segments of the planned trail and park into a single final phase to meet an end-of-2025 deadline for completion of the full Underline under the terms of a $22 million federal grant.

“This is a very accelerated schedule,” said Irene Hegedus, the Underline project manager at Miami-Dade’s department of transportation and public works, which is overseeing its design and construction. There’s some good news for those impatiently awaiting the debut of that last stretch: Rather than wait for the full phase three to be finished before inaugurating the new trails and features, the county plans to open each discrete section for public use as it’s finished.

Under a preliminary plan designed to speed completion while minimizing closures of streets and the existing, bare-bones M-Path, work will proceed from Dadeland South northward, and southward from the end of the currently under-construction phase two at Southwest 19th Avenue.

“We want to make sure we provide diverse activities for everyone,” said Miami-Dade Commissioner Raquel Regalado, whose district includes a portion of the Underline, at Thursday’s well-attended meeting at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. Added Miami-Dade Commissioner Eileen Higgins, whose district also encompasses sections of the park: “We actually try to build what you want. We take your input seriously.”

ClassPass analyzed thousands of reservations made on their platform over the past year to create the 2022 ClassPass & Mindbody Look Back Report. Here are some of the trends they found around fitness and wellness.

Fastest growing workouts

Sculpt classes – often a subset of Pilates, yoga and strength training — were the fastest growing workout of 2022 with a 471% increase in bookings from January to October. Acro Yoga also saw growth, with reservations increasing 200% in 2022. So, if you’re looking to improve your flexibility and try your hand at acrobatics, might be a good time to give it a go.

Most popular workouts

Strength training continues to be the most popular workout of 2022 for the second year in a row. Not only did it hold the top spot year-over-year but people also actually attended strength training classes more often in 2022 than 2021 —there was a 94% increase in reservations from 2021 to 2022.  

As exercising expands beyond just breaking a sweat, for the first time ever, stretching also made the top 10 fitness reservations list. Whether it’s recovery, preventative, or a low impact way to get your blood flowing, it’s important to incorporate stretching into your routine.  

And if you are a newbie, you are most likely to be found on a bike. The most popular first class on ClassPass is a cycling class.

Most popular day to workout

You are most likely to see a packed class on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. — the most popular time and day to workout. Classes that are 60 minutes are most likely to book out, and the 60-minute slot is the most-popular class length.

Most popular month to workout

While it may seem that January is a popular time to get back into a fitness routine, the most popular months to workout were actually August and September. This proved “back to school” season is also “back to the gym” season.

Professional volleyball players and Olympic gold medalists will take part in a Miami Beach demonstration event this Thursday,  November 17 ahead of the King of the Court beach volleyball tournament planned for March 2023 as part of Miami Beach Live. Catch the action at Lummus Park between noon and 2 pm.

“Our local volleyball community is excited at the prospect of seeing internationally recognized beach volleyball players bringing their talents to Miami Beach,” City Manager Alina T. Hudak said. “This will be an amazing event for Ocean Drive and a rare opportunity to see some of the most skilled athletes in the world.”

The free warmup event will feature Olympic gold medalists Julius Brink and Rich Lambourne, international referee John King and professional volleyball player Dave Palms all taking place at the volleyball courts in Lummus Park between 7 and 8 streets off Ocean Drive.

“I am super excited to see a King of the Court event in Miami Beach, probably one of the most iconic beaches in this world,” said Brink, a 2012 Olympic volleyball star from the London games. “The lifestyle and the atmosphere fits perfect to King of the Court which brings entertainment, high-class sport and joy to the people in Florida.

King of the Court Volleyball events have been held in Hamburg, Germany; Utrecht, Netherlands; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; and Doha, Qatar. While a few test events have been held in the United States, Miami Beach will host the debut U.S. tournament in a pop-up stadium on the beach in Lummus Park between March 9-12, 2023 as part of Miami Beach Live!

“I am excited to see King of the Court coming to the United States. The Netherlands is known to be innovative, and King of the Court perfectly illustrates how we continue to reinvent sports,” added Miami Consul General Ruth Emmerink of the Netherlands, where King of the Court Volleyball is based. “I can’t think of a better place to launch next than a sports-focused state like Florida, and in particular, Miami Beach.”

On Sunday, December 18, Anatomy will host their 6th annual #HourPushUp Challenge raising funds for Udonis Haslem Foundation and Make-A-Wish Southern Florida. This challenge invites members and guests to work out for wishes and the future of the Miami community, calling upon participants to do as many pushups as they physically can in a one-hour timeframe.

Udonis Haslem, Marc Megna, Chris Paciello, and the Miami community, will gather to participate in this special and meaningful experience, challenging themselves for a cause. This event is also a celebration of Udonis Haslem’s charitable efforts as he enters his 20th and final season for the Miami Heat.

“We are so grateful for Udonis Haslem and the amazing community we have created through Anatomy, bringing generous participants to this event every single year," said Anatomy. "Watching our community come together for such a great cause touches our hearts, and we look forward to seeing what we can achieve at our 6th annual #HourPushUpChallenge!”

Prior to the challenge, each of the participants will collect monetary pledges, donated on a per push-up basis.  Supporters of the event also may offer flat-fee donations via the website. 100% of the funds raised per push-up will be donated to the Udonis Haslem Foundation and Make-A-Wish Southern Florida to help enrich lives of people in local underserved communities and grant wishes to local wish kids.

To date, the #HourPushUpChallenge has raised more than $568,000 and granted over 110 wishes for kids. Last year marked the first #HourPushUpChallenge where Udonis Haslem Foundation joined forces with Anatomy and Make-A-Wish Southern Florida for this event, helping to raise an excess of $215,000. This year, Udonis Haslem, Anatomy, and Make-A-Wish Southern Florida have set a benchmark of $300,000 as their minimum goal to raise to help impact the children and our community.

“I'm very excited for year 2 of the #HourPushUpChallenge," said Haslem, 3x NBA Champion and Miami Heat Captain. "We had a great time last year giving back to the community. A lot of people came together for a cause that they believed in, and we were able to make great things happen. We hope this year we raise over our goal of $350k and go even bigger!" 

Haslem has created TEAM UD, which will be led by 5 people. That group will raise money and do push-ups together in hopes to complete 2,000 push-ups in an hour with the goal of each push up being worth a minimum of $30 per push up.

“We thank the generous folks at Anatomy fitness, Udonis Haslem, and everyone who participates in the #HourPushUpChallenge," said Norm Wedderburn, President and CEO of Make-A-Wish Southern Florida. "The event has become one of our favorite events of the year and helps impact the lives of those in our community. The determination and hard work of all of the participants and organizers means that many more children will get to experience a wish come true.”

Anatomy’s 2022 #HourPushUpChallenge will take place at Anatomy Coconut Grove located at 3363 Pan American Drive in Miami. To donate or participate visit PushupChallenge.AnatomyFitness.com.

In a one-of-a-kind philanthropic initiative, players from the Miami Heat, Dolphins, Marlins, Inter Miami, and Florida Panthers have teamed up to support Greater Miami nonprofits. Athletes from the five major professional sports teams in South Florida donated signed jerseys to the “Jersey for Miami” campaign. This effort rallies donors to support more than 1,000 local nonprofit organizations.

“Our professional athletes will help us win with ‘Jersey for Miami!’ The Miami Foundation is so grateful to the Heat, Dolphins, Marlins, Inter Miami and the Panthers for their incredible support said Rebecca Fishman Lipsey, president and CEO of The Miami Foundation. “This jersey campaign is an outgrowth of our community’s love for all sports and to rally together. When we connect through this campaign, we’ll create a new team of Floridians passionate to build and strengthen the social and economic fortitude of Greater Miami.”

Participating professional players include Gabe Vincent, Miami Heat; JJ Bleday, Miami Marlins; Robert Taylor, Gregore de Magalhaes Silva, and Leonardo Campana, Inter Miami; Jaelan Phillips, Dophins; and Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart, Florida Panthers.

Funds raised through “Jersey for Miami” will boost the overall dollar amount available to nonprofits that participate in Give Miami Day, on Thursday, November 17, one of the nation’s biggest 24-hour giving events. Last year, Give Miami Day 2021 made history as more than 38,000 donors generously gave over $32 million to champion causes that improve local quality of life and equity.

The contest is simple: now through Friday, November 11, the pros root on the public to be champions and recruit donors to raise money through nine nonprofit categories - animal welfare, arts and culture, economic development, education and youth, environment, equity, faith-based services, health and wellness, and inclusion and community care. The top three fundraisers win a set of five signed jerseys, cash prizes up to $5,000, plus a Give Miami Day gift card to be used on that day so they can further support nonprofits.

This campaign grows the dollars available to nonprofits in advance of Give Miami Day into an extra score for our Bonus Pool that will profit all participating organizations. The Miami Foundation will distribute these extra dollars to nonprofits throughout the event, giving them access to more cash than just what is donated on Give Miami Day.

Details and registration are located at JerseyForMiami.org. Winners will be announced on Give Miami Day.
