How Top Fitness Experts Stay in Shape

Founder, Tracy Anderson Method

"For my focused workout I do my method 6 days a week for two hours. One hour of my muscular structure design work and one hour of dance aerobics. I know what I want my body to look like and what makes me feel comfortable in my skin and in clothes so I want my workout to accomplish that plus make me healthy and strong in a smart way. I love to work out first thing in the morning and start my day connecting to my body."

Co-Founder, Core Fusion

"I like to take group classes at least 5 times a week and of course a variety of Core Fusion programs since they cover all the essentials of a balanced workout with strength, stretch, cardio, and zen! Core Fusion Barre 2x + Core Fusion Cardio, Core Fusion Sport, or Core Fusion Boot Camp 1x + 2 Exhale yoga classes — Music Yoga Flow or Exhale Vinyasa Flow with pumping music (I like the athletic flow with music yoga)."

Instructor, Physique 57

"In a week, I take anywhere from three to five Physique classes, a yoga class to keep my mind and body flexible, and I have about 12 hours of dance rehearsal with Melinda Ring/Special Projects, which is a contemporary dance company. I am super active and hands on at Physique 57, so I definitely get a lot of physical activity while I am teaching. My husband and I love to explore on the weekends, so we always have something planned whether it be hiking in the Catskills, picnicking and running around in a NYC park or just walking around and getting lost in new neighborhoods."

Founder, Organic Avenue

"As far as my workout regime goes, I do yoga every morning for about an hour either at home or at a local yoga studio. There are so many great ones, but my favorite is Dharma Mittra yoga. I also enjoy an evening jog or bike ride with my son Oliver, using either my bike or the jogging stroller. I always like to take advantage of the energy of the sun while doing my workouts."

Board Certified Dermatologist and Nutritionist, Best-Selling Author

"I enjoy a wide variety of physical exercises. In a typical week I'll lift weights three times for one hour, I'll do Hatha Yoga for 30 minutes three times a weeks, and run three times a week (on non-weight lifting days — 30 minutes for each run). I particularly love running on the beach with my dogs Peanut and Remy."

Instructor, Pure Yoga

Master Instructor, Revolve

"Three runs on non-consecutive days. I know my body and if I try to run back-to-back days my hips and hamstrings get bitchy with me! Two of those runs are endurance (8-9 miles). My third run is speed work (alternate 7-minute mile with a light jog for about 45 minutes). I've been hitting up about 3-5 cycling classes per week. Three times a week I hit the gym for a total body interval workout. The only workout I've gotten that compares to my own are Barry's Bootcamp classes. On my own, I alternate 10 minutes of interval cardio on anything (elliptical, treadmill, stationary bike), with two sets of exercises that include my unique combination of cross fit-esque power ploymetric movement, yoga/pilates-inspired exercises, and relatively lightweight high repetition upper body weight exercises. Finally, if I don't get in at least one yoga class a week, I get injured. Yoga is THE thing I need to do to prevent injuries."

Head of Operations, SLT

"My typical workout week consists of three days of SLT Megaformer classes. I may be biased but i'm completely addicted! I've never felt stronger or better since starting to do SLT; two days of SLT Yoga. If I miss my yoga I feel anxious and stressed. I love that I can leave the class feeling relaxed and calm but at the same time know that I was just challenged and got my ass kicked, and one day a week of running or spinning. I like to really sweat it all out on Saturdays so I can have a guilt-free weekend. I was never a big runner, but am starting to do it more often now. Once I get passed that first mile, it's actually pretty fun!"
