Described as the best workout in Los Angeles, Santa Monica, home to the original muscle beach, is also where you'll find the heart pounding, caveman-style workout known to fitness fanatic locals as the Santa Monica Stairs. It's a hidden mecca for those looking to feel that burn, just a little bit more. Carved out of the steep walls of the Santa Monica Canyon and nestled between multi-million dollar homes and ocean views, the wooden and concrete stairs act almost like a portal into another world, from point of entry to being spat out at the top in a very different state of mind, where a quiet beauty of solitude pervades the air. More of this project can be seen here and you can also read more in my contribution on Redfin.
