You crushed your 55-minute class. Treadmill intervals, heavy lifts, maybe a HYROX block on top. Your spine has been carrying load for the better part of an hour — so now what? Most people walk straight to the parking lot. STRIDE Fitness Huntington Beach members walk straight into the Recovery Zone, and one of the first stops is the anti-gravity massage chair.
