Where to Stay Fit in the Bay

San Francisco, called the the nation's fourth fittest city in Sport's Medicine's annual survey, has an abundance of places to pursue a fit, healthy lifestyle. Yoga studios, VIP wellness centers and local farm-to-table eateries make it easy to maintain your fitness in the Bay Area. Here are 4 first-class, luxurious fitness studios in San Francisco, in no particular order:

1. Bodywork SF

This private & exclusive wellness studio, located between the Russian Hill and Marina neighborhoods, has become a hotspot for many upscale residents of San Francisco. It's more of an integrated wellness center than a gym and features a unique structure and personalized approach.

Looking for the great pleasure of anonymity? Bodyworks SF is the place for you. There's no membership fee or monthly dues. There are no crowds. Interested parties can schedule their workout time by phone and choose from a menu of services that includes everything from nutritional counseling to Pilates to Thai massage.

Every guest is given a custom-designed fitness program by one of Bodywork's highly-trained, certified fitness experts.

2. Satori Yoga Studio

It's hard to pick the most elite studio for yoga practice in a city with a myriad of Eastern fitness options. But many local professionals swear by Satori, a business built around helping executives relax while improving their health.

Practice at the studio includes a unique focus on stress reduction and relaxation. Most classes run toward Hatha, one of the most gentle and relaxing styles of yoga.

Private and semi-private classes are available, and corporate wellness sessions can be scheduled with appropriate notice.

Some pilates classes and massage are also offered.

3. Pilates ProWorks

Truly dedicated students of fitness in San Francisco flock to the financial district's branch of Pilates ProWorks, a community of fitness fanatics dedicated to reaching elite levels of health.

Classes on the group schedule are flexible enough to meet the needs of even the busiest executives' schedule, but many opt for the centers' private training sessions for personalized instruction.

Semi-private classes for groups of two also are available.

4. Equinox Fitness

Located in the heart of San Francisco's financial district, Equinox is favored by San Francisco's executives and professionals.

The historic space's architecture features the carefully-restored 1915 architecture of the original Pacific Coast stock exchange and the on-site Diego Rivera mural.

Whether you decide to pursue fitness solo or sign up for a group or one-on-one training, the staff and equipment are both top-notch. Relax after your workout in a eucalyptus steam room or book time in the on-site Spa at Equinox for a massage.
