Community-Minded Fitness Center

Railroad CrossFit

With members of all ages — from early teens to early 80s, including entire families — this more-than-muscles-and-weights facility focuses not only on fitness, but on overall well-being, i.e. nutrition, a positive mindset, and a strong sense of community. Extra kudos for keeping the close-knit feeling going during the pandemic with individually tailored workouts delivered via one-on-one FaceTime calls, as well as small group outdoor classes.

Community-Minded Hair Salon

Love Hair Salon

This popular full-service salon offers everything from blowouts and hair straightening to custom wigs and extensions. What we really love is their commitment to the community. Love Hair Salon hosts an annual back-to-school event, providing free haircuts, hair braiding, and manicures to girls, ages 5-10, from low-income households. The salon hosts additional events throughout the year, including fundraisers, ladies’ nights and holiday parties.

Mirbeau Inn & Spa Rhinebeck

Beloved brand Mirbeau opened its third location in Rhinebeck in 2019. And while the 49 elegant rooms and Willow by Charlie Palmer restaurant would be reason enough to book a stay, the 12,000-square-foot spa is Mirbeau’s crown jewel, with 14 treatment rooms, a Himalayan salt sauna, eucalyptus steam rooms, and a year-round aqua terrace with a hot thermal pool and full bar.
