That broader shift is exactly where Tee Box has found its footing. By Tamara Rahoumi

Heyday Skincare was founded in 2015 in New York City, aiming to make self-care through regular facial services more accessible to the everyday consumer. Founders Adam Ross and Michael Pollak, friends from business school, saw a gap in the wellness market for spa treatments. They noticed that treatments tended to be costly and time-consuming and that most people saw them more as occasional luxury services rather than regular maintenance.

The way people think about fitness has fundamentally changed. It’s no longer a task to check off; it’s a lifestyle choice tied to longevity, balance and belonging.
