Airport Fitness Studios Are Opening All Over and It’s Kind of Amazing – SELF

Welcome to This Week in Wellness! Once a week, we'll bring you the latest news from the wellness world that has SELF editors talking while sporting our favorite swimsuits .

Here's What We're Talking About

What this means, we think, is that it's time to bust out your favorite two-piece suit and strut your stuff, even if you just do it in your house. And if you don't own a bikini, put on a one piece (sound fancy and call it a maillot) and do the same damn thing because you should absolutely love your own body and wear whatever the heck makes you feel like a queen. Or consider National Bikini Day your excuse to check out some of our favorite affordable styles from Forever21 or a suit that won't fall down , no matter how active you getincluding that living-room strut. (Let these amazing body-positive women inspire you if you're still feeling a bit shy.)

Many international airports have their fitness studio game on lock, with in-terminal, tricked-out locations in destinations including Dubai, Munich, and Singapore. Just announced: This fall, Heathrow Airport will roll out its own gym, designed in partnership with FlyFit. The space will offer both instructor-led and interactive strength, restorative yoga, and cardio classes. Located at the London airport's Terminal Two, there will also be rental workout clothing, shower facilities, and healthy food options on site to ensure a trip (at least to your destination) full of fitness.

The trend is taking off stateside, too. (Sorry, had to.) While airports like Dallas-Fort Worth and San Francisco International both offer in-terminal yoga studios, ROAM Fitness just launched their second location in Chicago, after a successful airport fitness studio launch at Baltimore-Washington International, in the nation's capital. ROAM, like FlyFit's Heathrow facility, has a slew of classes, machines, showers, and even Lulu apparel to borrow. But you have to give it back. Bummer, I know.

Yoga can be served up all kinds of waysfloating in the pool , Harry Potter-style yoga, and goat yoga come to mindbut the latest trend to hit the L.A. yoga scene isn't one we could have expected. Toronto-based studio Yoga Modo is offering its cult-favorite hot-yoga classes set to live violins at its brand-new Echo Park location, according to the Los Angeles Times . Another studio is set to open in the beachside Venice neighborhood by the end of the summer, which has us wondering what kind of live music that studio will be seeingbecause you never really know what's gonna go down in eccentric Venice.

Have you ever sat down and thought about how much coffee you drank over the past ten years? Neither have we, though we have thought about how it affects our body . This weekend, one amazingly inspirational Friends superfan decided to tally up every single cup of each of the main characters drank in the 236 episodes aired on NBC, according to Food Beast . That's a lot of television watching. We're impressed. But Twitter user Kit Lovelace was insistent on completing his mission, and discovered that the biggest coffee drinker was Phoebe, clocking in with 227 cups, while Rachel was at the bottom, having consumed just 138 cups. Maybe that's why she was never a good waitress? Check out the work Lovelace did on Twitter below.

Power naps are the stuff of godsand experts back us up here! "The power nap is a godsend," James B. Maas, Ph.D., sleep expert, professor and past chair of the psychology department at Cornell University, told SELF in 2016 , as it helps with attention, concentration, memory, mood, and stress management. But when it comes to snoozing, Europe's got us beat on how to get some quick shut eye: napping bars. That's right, nap bars are now a thing in Spain, because, well, siestas. You can now visit Siesta and Go in Madrid, as reported by Well + Good, where you are able to rent QT in bed by the minute until you're refreshed. And with locations already in Brussels, London, and Tokyo, we just have one question: Can you please open one up in the States soon?

And just in case you weren't morose enough already to be back to the office after the July 4th holiday, take a look at this MESMERIZING hyperlapse video that Ina Garten posted last week that's giving us serious holiday FOMO. What's become an "annual tradition" to Gartenthe creation of a flag-inspired cakehas also become a social-media challenge, one that yes, our bellies are very happy with. Check out the video below, but only if you promise not to cry that you had to go back to work today.

Tune in next week for more wellness news!
