Ctrl + Alt + DeTOX: A Traveler’s Midweek Escape

For the Digital Nomad +  Bleisure Traveler Who Carries Her Office in a Tote and Her Tension in Her Jawline

While you typically come to CheckInClockIn for the latest boutique hotel gems or five-star property reviews, we’re now expanding our scope to keep you in the loop on how to support your health and wellness while on the road. Because let’s be honest—what’s a plush hotel room robe without a body that feels just as restored and refreshed?

We’ve all been there—riding the wave of back-to-back time zones with a laptop in hand, squeezing in Slack messages between sunset swims and spreadsheets. It’s that special kind of tired that no luxe robe or overpriced cappuccino can cure. After bouncing from city to city, fully embracing the bleisure life (business + leisure, for those who need a refresher), my body had officially hit its breaking point somewhere between meetings and mezcal.

So when I landed in New York, I did what any self-respecting, road-weary digital nomad would do: I booked myself a session at THE TOX.

I went with the Master Tox at their Upper East Side location, and let me just say—this isn’t your average spa pit stop. This is 90 minutes of focused, functional bodywork that targets your waistline, backside, and hips with a signature technique designed to sculpt, detox, and restore. And yes, I tacked on the sculpting facial too, because my jawline had been missing since Montana.

Caitlin, my technician, had the kind of hands that seemed to understand stress without needing a backstory. We started with the facial—no steaming, no fluff, just real results. Using a gua sha stone, TOX sculpting wand, and a steady rhythm, she lifted, toned, and de-puffed like she was conducting a symphony of cheekbones. The final touch? A custom caffeinated mask that made my skin look like it had just come back from a sabbatical.

From there, she moved seamlessly into the body treatment. Using their signature technique—an intuitive mix of pressure and sculpting—she mapped my tension like she had known it all along. It wasn’t your classic “drift into oblivion” spa experience. It was active. Functional. Intentional. The kind of treatment that makes your body go, “Finally.”

I walked out with my face lifted, my limbs lighter, and my entire system feeling like it had just been given an energetic Ctrl + Alt + Delete. It was a full-body reset without ever having to lace up sneakers or drink something green and suspicious.

What I loved most was that this wasn’t about chasing a trend—it was about restoring function, flushing out buildup, and letting go of all the digital, emotional, and physical baggage I didn’t realize I’d been carrying.

And good news for my fellow travelers: THE TOX is expanding. More cities. More locations. More chances to carve out a moment of restoration between layovers and launches.

So if you’re feeling like your body’s buffering—book THE MASTER TOX. Ask for Caitlin if you’re in NYC. And let yourself be sculpted, smoothed, and sorted out.

Because sometimes the most productive thing you can do… is lie down and let go.

And for my fellow travelers - we’ve got a little gift for you.
