clubhouse chat: sweat with your people
saturday is for sweating with your people. tomorrow the whole world watches one game, but today the club plays its own. bring a friend, the saturday double is always in season.
the glow file
working out with friends is now the biggest story in fitness. data from 135 million athletes found social connection is the number one reason people exercise, ahead of performance, and the american college of sports medicine just put recreation and sport clubs in its top trends for the first time. the takeaway: texting a friend to join you counts as training. solo miles still count, company just makes them fly.
the piggy bank
americans gave a record 617 billion dollars to charity in 2025, the first time giving has ever passed the 600 billion mark. generosity is trending too.
heard at the clubhouse
tomorrow's world cup final brings the first halftime show in world cup history: shakira, bts, madonna, and justin bieber at metlife stadium, curated by coldplay's chris martin. yes, the muppets are coming too. plan the watch party now.
the sunshine page
in waikiki, three childhood friends walk the beach offering free surf lessons to total strangers. their first wave project has already put about one hundred first timers on a board, and every video is pure joy.
and the sweetest story of the world cup so far: a german fan named sebastian arrived nervous about america, then a local family in boston offered him a ride, and he left in tears, in love with the place. he even extended his trip. kindness travels.
the dress code
editor's pick: the varsity cap in heritage red, healthy hot ($32). made for morning run clubs and afternoon bleachers. the red always finds the group photo.
the passed note
the talk test: if you can hold a conversation while you move, you found a pace you can keep for miles. a workout buddy is a built in pace checker. send this to the friend you want on your saturday.
health is hot.
