Let’s be real — we’ve all bookmarked workout routines and saved countless “wellness” posts, only to never return to them. But that first step into prioritizing your health doesn’t need to make you anxious or wary.

Step into Ponce City Market, and you’ll find that wellness can be both approachable and enjoyable. Whether you’re just starting your health journey or looking to try something new, these five spots offer refreshing takes on self-care that might just change how you think about getting healthy:
