I’ve already noticed a few new reviews! Such a supportive community here 💝

I’m just the communicator (wild, I know) but this is from the whole #mbodyglobalfam and we are trying to spread the word to everyone and anyone who hasn’t heard. We are all grateful for this platform and we want to celebrate it, and celebrate you all who create M/BODY, and spread the news to others who maybe still feel like working out is just a chore, or their guidance is trying to make them shrink rather than show up and take up space while you strengthen and lengthen those muscles to great playlists with body positive support and cool ass humans who are behind the scenes or are working out along side of us behind their screens. Love being here!

Ohhh great point, Cathy! I was only thinking iPhone vs. Google (in the US, the M/BODY app has more reviews on Apple apps than on Google apps). I hadn’t considered how that looks within the UK (or anywhere else in the world from where we are logging in). I wonder if US and Canada reviews are the same or how this all goes. But if everyone took 5 minutes they’d be able to type (or copy/paste from a notes section in their phone) a few sentences about what they love and just submit that review and POOF 500th class present. 🪄💫🎁Thank you Cathy for adding to the small number of UK reviews, you beautiful spirit you.

Several people have mentioned it, and I know Marnie mentions it from time to time in class… but if a bunch of new reviews were to be posted I’m sure that would feel like a little gift from all of us. And it only takes a few minutes, less than a class warmup! 💝

Hi everyone! Several of us were talking about ways to honor the upcoming 500th M/BODY Live class, and we are celebrating by posting reviews on the M/BODY by Marnie Alton app. It would be a perfect gift. Feel free to comment on this thread so more of us see it!

If you have an Apple or an Android, just go to the App Store and jot down why you choose to pay for this membership, what you love about this movement practice, or anything else about your M/BODY experience so we can spread the love!

Thanks for joining us in the community by giving the gift of a positive review so this beautiful platform can continue to sustain and grow for another 500+ classes. I can’t wait to dance with you all on the mat this Saturday! 🥳

(If you see this days or weeks after the 500th class, please still participate 😊)

Yesss ankle weights are such an impactful add-on, as felt in this class! Have a stable surface and a movement ball for under your feet and you are golden. I will continue trying to keep my hip level and down with those side leg extensions. Beautiful work one leg at a time (in which our other leg is still working and our core [front and back] are engaged). Warmed me up to a little bit sweaty despite the flow feeling and totally low-impact (no jumps or bounces, just some pulses).

45 Signatures truly move quickly and then they’re over! Abdominal work interlaced, lots of hip opening love (feeling the echo of muscle activation around my hips, seat, and 360 degrees around my upper thighs the next day and second morning after class). The barre to floor combinations were challenging and fun- my goal is to maintain form and not lean to the side when we have one hand on the barre and wrap one leg up on the other (class image shows this move). I was really feeling my legs during class and was trying to stay LOW all up in that fire.

Reiterating other comments- this class was fun! 45 min Signatures fly by… some fun cardio dance moves, hand weights, very brief movement ball use. I did this one outside while traveling, using a deck railing as a barre. I felt muscle activation afterward from my feet to my shoulders.

This no-equipment class is focused on healing hips, but felt so cool and unique compared to previous classes sharing this title. Within my body it felt like a gliders class meets a dancer's legs class meets a yogic physical therapy vibe. We are paced in an overarching flow, but it felt like mini series within. I have a slight buzzing sensation from my feet into my ribs after class. Marnie's guidance and cues are so helpful, so my gaze can be up to the side instead of on the screen and I actually felt my hip release more when visualizing the hip growing roots and rooting down in 'pigeon.' I had to re-engage several times as I noticed a part of me was collapsing within various forms. Very cool class, favoriting, and will remember this is going to make my hips hum but it won't mirror and repeat an earlier cataloged HH class. Also- Gravity Rides Everything in the playlist? Loved!

Abs, ass, AND a strong cardio start! No equipment means this would be great one when traveling.
