Prudential Center

The new year brings the opportunity to add new energy and refreshed focus to our lives.  This January we’re feeling inspired — inspired to slow down, take stock, and create a vibe that gives way to a healthy year for the mind, body, and soul. Here are five ways we are keeping it real, healthy, and connected in 2023 at Prudential Center.

1. Eat real food.

Real-food eating and food sustainability are two movements we’re embracing this year. Not only are they better for our overall health, but also for the earth and the food and nutrition security of future generations. Two of our favorite options: Clover and DIG.

Clover Food Lab, founded by MIT alum and environmentalist Ayr Muir, sources an unprecedented amount of its menu from local farmers. The local chain has paved the way for the explosion in plant-based dining options in Boston and beyond. Today, we’re grabbing a coffee from Ipswich-based roaster Little Wolf and a breakfast sandwich made with a Maine Family Farm egg, Longwind Farm organic tomatoes, and aged Grafton cheddar served on house-made pita baked with New England-grown and milled grains. 

DIG offers healthy fast-casual bowls, vegetables, and comfort food with mindful sourcing as the top priority. The recipe development process always involves a conversation between the chef and small-scale grower about what they really want to cook and harvest, with a deep respect for ingredients. The result? Healthy, nourishing, delicious meals. One of our favorite lunches is the Kale Caesar Salad, featuring farm greens with mint, tomatoes, cucumbers, and avocado, topped with cashew caesar dressing and toasted breadcrumbs.

2. Keep moving. 

What’s your favorite way to keep moving during the winter months? We’re turning to three Prudential Center favorites to keep our bodies healthy and strong this year. 

The Handle Bar is a fun and fast-paced cycling studio with a deep commitment to wellness. The instructor-led, music-driven, low-lit classes create a welcoming and transformative fitness experience. Check the schedule to find a ride that suits your fancy. How could you not feel motivated with options like Taylor Swift Tuesdays or Hip Hop Saturdays?

If an at-home workout is more your vibe, Peloton offers the very best of fitness and tech. Choose from thousands of on-demand classes, as well as live classes with motivating real-time leaderboards. Stop by the showroom to try out the different connected bike, tread, and row machines to see which might be the best fit for your 2023 fitness goals.

Want a little bit of everything? Boston Sports Club at Prudential Center makes getting fit a simple exercise. By delivering a great member experience, the full-service health club features 25,000 square feet loaded with state-of-the-art equipment and energizing classes such as spinning, yoga, Zumba and Pilates. 

3. Spend time with friends.

Spending time with friends is an important part of a holistic lifestyle. Fortunately, we’ve got the perfect places to socialize and connect.  

Little Lovage Club is Boston’s premier parenting resource dedicated to helping families grow, learn, and love. The friendly, open playspace offers a range of parent and baby support groups, infant and toddler enrichment classes, and parenting workshops. It’s a welcoming place for children and caregivers to thrive and connect. 

Make a date at Pressed Cafe for coffee, breakfast, or a cocktail or two. Whether you’re grabbing a post-workout juice, meeting a friend for lunch, or capping off your week with a fun cocktail, Pressed Cafe delivers a sophisticated worldly experience like no other.

4. Connect with nature.

Heading out into the great outdoors is good for the mind, body, and soul. But, in New England one can never be too prepared for the elements!

Firstly, high-quality outwear is a top priority. Bundle up in a cozy down jacket — we’ve got plenty of colors and styles to choose from. Is your favorite from Saks Fifth Avenue, Canada Goose, or Mackage? 

Under Armour has you covered (literally!) for indoor and outdoor sportswear. What are we wearing right now? The UA RUSH™  series features performance wear made with fleece built around infrared tech, which uses your body’s own energy to fight muscle fatigue as you train.

Fashionable protective eyewear is ready for pick up at Oakley. It’s the go-to place for ski goggles, sunglasses, and more.

Don’t forget that sun protection is just as important during the winter months! Protect those cheeks with sunscreen from Sephora — there’s a wide variety of premier brands to choose from.  And, lip balms and treatments are also a must in blustery New England weather.

5. Sleep well.

Fresh food, fitness, and friends — it’s the perfect recipe for a good night’s sleep. Don’t miss one last stop at Frette, the international leader in luxury linens, to make this the year you update your bedding. Soft-as-a-cloud sheets, down duvets, and cozy throws and blankets — we’re getting sleepy just thinking about it.  

In 2023, we hope you find ways to nourish your body, mind, and soul. Here’s to wishing you a happy and healthy new year!
