The chaos of college can leave you feeling rushed, leaving you with what it feels like to be no extra time for yourself or the activities you enjoy. After being in college for a few years, I have come to realize how important it is to find time for yourself to keep your body and mind healthy.

1. Yoga Pod in Fort Collins, CO

Yoga Pod is an amazing place to relieve stress. They offer tons of classes and have on of the cleanest and brightest facilities I have ever seen. They offer an unbeatable offer of 30 days for $30. After that 30 days is up, students can get a monthly membership for $89 instead of the normal $108. With the membership, they offer unlimited classes and a 15% discount on teacher training, workshops and events!

I have attended a hot yoga class at this location and it kicked my butt but it was completely worth it! I left feeling completely relaxed and happy I got in a good workout!

5. Orange Theory (Many Locations)

Orange Theory has become a hot topic in the last year. They offer full HIIT classes that are proven to give you great results mentally and physically! You are surrounded by a great group of people who want you to succeed and are also trying to reach the same goals you are. Students also get $10 off whichever package plan they choose.
