The sunny states have it, according to the Mindbody + ClassPass listing of America’s healthiest big cities. Those in California, Florida and the Southwest claim seven of the top 10 spots in the ranking of how much residents exercise, eat nutritious food, follow spiritual beliefs and value one another.
San Francisco, where residents really enjoy yoga, don’t scrimp on spending for beauty and wellness and prizes a good night’s sleep, ranked at the top. Miami and San Diego followed. But, even with their built-in advantages — outdoor Pilates year-round and a population that loves a good community sound bath or gut-health lecture — these warm-weather U.S. cities keep coming up with ways to help people get and stay healthy. And plenty of our large urban centers with long, cold winters are doing impressive things on the wellness front. Here’s a look at a few from the list: Tampa, Fla. (Rank: 10)

With its laid-back beach lifestyle and urban vibe, Tampa takes pride in its diversity, pro sports — baseball, football and hockey — and cultural offerings. The city has earned a national profile for its high-caliber cafes, roasters and restaurants of every stripe. And while there’s every reason to enjoy a classic Cuban sandwich, fresh seafood is standard fare, as are healthy-option food trucks and fresh markets. Vacationers also join locals who revere the Village Health Market for its hard-to-find supplements, salads, smoothies, and vegan, keto and paleo dishes. Even as the sprawling city continues growing, Tampa remains anchored by beaches, trails, parks and boat launches, many along Tampa Bay. Yoga and other fitness options abound, along with offerings for those with disabilities and older adults. Check out Walk with the Doc outings and the annual Tampa Bay Active Life Games for those 50 and over. More: When a cardiologist invited his patients to walk with him in a local park, 100 people showed up. It was the beginning of a global program.Minneapolis (Rank: 17)
