X-Mas Detox: We've Got Your Hit-The-Gym Motivation

Christmas is a week away, which means New Year’s (and New Year's resolutions) is only two weeks away. So, prepare to hear the words “juice cleanse” and "detox" blowin' up your inbox for the next month.

Danny Meyer, NYC restaurateur and ~~king~~ CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group, is teaming up with Equinox to give New Yorkers extra motivation to hit the gym. The duo is launching a juice café called Creative Juice (get it?) inside the 50th and 76th Street Equinox locations.

The organic juices are made fresh and delivered to the gyms daily and feature such savory ingredients as lemongrass, pineapple, papaya, pink grapefruit, cacao, cranberries, and kale. Plus, the cafés will also be hawking smoothies, baked goods, and breakfast items. Hitting the gym never sounded so good, right?
