Here's Where Trainers Go to Eat, Post-Workout

Post-workout fuel is just as important as pre-workout fuel—and no one knows that better than the people whose business it is to teach those workouts.

Taste Savant compiles feedback from critics, chefs, and—now!—fitness experts to create profiles on cities' best restaurants. Coolly, Taste Savant can help making dining out a little easier for anyone who's food- or health-minded; it links to menus, provides reservations through Open Table, and even gives delivery options from GrubHub Seamless.

So! With that in mind, here are some of the places that trainers go, post-workout:

After…Spin Class
NYC: Flywheel instructor Jaimie Bailey is a fan of Hu Kitchen, which she says cooks and serves with "the best philosophy."
Chicago: Trainers recommend a post-spin class stop at Lyfe Kitchen for "unfried" chicken or mahi mahi tacos—healthy, low-calorie options.
Boston: Sweetgreen's salad-focused offerings—including its Kale Caesar, Guacamole Greens, and Blueberry-Basil Lemonade—has made it a go-to spot for Flywheel Back Bay trainers.
L.A.: Flywheel's Jesse Brune is a fan of Doughboys, where he recommends the French onion soup and thinks the salads are the best in the city.

After…Bootcamp
NYC: Joey Gonzales—COO and instructor at Barry's Bootcamp—says he loves stopping by Westville after working out all day.
Chicago: Shred 415 trainers love Floriole Cafe & Bakery, which offers healthy quiches and tartine; they're also fans of Chicago O's BBQ Cobb Salad.
Boston: Even though it's limited when it comes to hours, Chacarero is right around the corner from Barry's Bootcamp, making it a trainer favorite (they recommend the chicken sandwich). Another post-workout favorite: Trade.
L.A: Gonzales also loves Greenleaf ChopShop for its selection of fresh, healthy, organic, and local foods (Gonzales especially loves the Zorra and Mexpolosion salads).

After…Cardio
NYC: Buvette has a relaxed atmosphere (ahem, wearers of workout gear) and serves healthy options like faro salad, mussels, soft scrambled eggs, and carrot salad,
Chicago: Once it's officially nice enough to go for a run outside, trainers like heading to Nico Osteria for brunch—the restaurant offers a lean Italian breakfast and tasty, healthy egg dishes.
Boston: Flour Bakery + Cafe is somewhere trainers love to go, post-run—there are plenty of yummy, healthy salad and sandwich options.
L.A: Brune loves the "inventive and crazy-flavorful" offerings at Sage Vegan Bistro.

After…Lifting
NYC: Liqueteria is great for post-strength training; boost your smoothie with grass-fed whey or vegan protein after a solid gym session.
Chicago: When they're done pumping iron at David Barton, trainers head to Japonais by Morimoto and Dillman’s for some healthier options (such as smoked whitefish salad).
Boston: For a high-protein breakfast or lunch, Boston trainers love Flame Cafe, a Mediterranean grab-and-go spot. Nebo is another favorite, known for its meatballs and zucchini lasagna.
L.A: Personal trainer Astrid McGuire of Barry's Bootcamp, loves Planet Raw and its cheesy kelp pasta.
