In San Francisco and beyond, doing a juice cleanse has become practically de rigeur for anyone looking to shed some toxins, lose a few pounds and kickstart a new healthy living attitude. Thankfully, you don’t have to blend and purée your own fruits and vegetables anymore; more than a few high-end juice bars have sprouted up around town, and some even boast their own full-body cleansing kits. Move over, humble shot of wheatgrass.
Once a migratory pop-up juice bar, SoW has lately taken up residence in the Ferry Building, among other heavy-hitters of the locavore food universe. It’s only open twice a week, during farmer’s market hours, but SoW more or less operates as a veritable Cuisinart for anyone who swings by, pulping and frappé-ing local and seasonal produce into a delicious beverage. The juices found here come with organic pedigrees and lots of flavor, making them good for the conscience, as well as the liver.
For total in-house integration of the cleansing ethos, turn to Juice Shop in the Marina, quite possibly the fanciest juice bar in the entire city. This tiny stand on Union Street sells a wide variety of juices and elixirs in its own branded milk bottles, with an eye towards detoxifying the harried urban dweller. And like a beneficent doctor making house calls, they’ll even deliver supplies for a ten-day, kale-heavy, pro cleanse.
Judahlicious, found in the Outer Sunset near Golden Gate Park, practically raises veganism to the level of art. The sunny spot lays out a full menu of raw foods, while shining a spotlight on juices and vegan smoothies for on-the-go folks. As the beachside embodiment of wholeness and vigor, this is Northern California at its far-out hippiest.
Slightly more tech-oriented, D’Urso Italian Deli and Juice Bar in South Beach has a sweet sidewalk window dedicated to its juices, and an industrial-chic parklet right next door. Slightly addled programmers, used to throwing back Red Bulls, mill about hoping to re-energize with boosts of kale and other superfoods. It’s a high-tech enclave of simple, delicious nutrition that’s bent on getting people back on track.
Sidewalk Juice, with two locations in the Mission, pairs nutrients alongside guiltier pleasures – hello, Nutella smoothie – and hard-core options, like a greens-only juice with no fillers. Other less abrasive and tropical flavors give a nod to the neighborhood’s Latino heritage, while kombucha-sipping trendsters populate the pavement outside as well as the spacious interior. Sidewalk Juice’s obvious chain aspirations are a sign of things to come, as more of America demands the healthiest possible sugar rush.

Foster City Athletic Club’s 15,000-square-foot fitness emporium houses a stable of health-enhancing amenities to facilitate regular workouts and hasten patrons’ progress toward holistic health. Dedicated personal trainers help patrons turn dormant sweat glands into perspiration and molten Frito geysers with two individually tailored, 45-minute workout regimens. Additionally, a customized health assessment nudges customers toward fitness excellence, enabling them to identify shortcomings and then vanquish them with prescribed exercises and a custom nutrition program. During membership intervals, fitness fiends can sculpt muscles inside the cycling studio or don a pair of goggles for an afternoon of racquetball. Afterward, a steam room or jacuzzi soothes muscles and ornery backhands. For more populous sweat-pouring sessions, a bevy of group fitness programs streamlines paths to presidential physical fitness awards, and the studio’s full-size basketball court provides an apropos arena to hone jump shots or net-cutting skills.
