Whew, love the burn these glider classes give! Just need gliders (or paper plates on carpet, or fuzzy socks or hand towels on hardwood or other smooth flooring), hand weights, and a band or towel for upper body stretching. My legs were shaking at one point, yet surprised to feel it immediately in my arms, shoulders, and upper body. Great views of angles and explanation as we go. I am so proud of my inner thigh muscles and pelvic floor muscles that show up and show out here! Like Miranda said before me, this gives you the sensation of a Pilates class without needing the expensive Reformer machine.

Omg your son’s finger- it’s all so, so good!!

Yesssss!!! My partner and I dressed up as Jack and Wendy Torrance this year too!! But when I was with my kiddo I was an axolotl, so, different vibes for different parties. You all nailed it!

I LOVE M/BODY knockout sweat classes!! This one had a really cool warm up and that set the stage for class; we begin with intention, slower, masterful, and then add on. Certainly moments of increasing speed, some serious sweat and catching of my breath, yet not a ‘fast and furious’ class. We are moving up and down, but with control, and most of class embraces a primarily standing position (with dropping lower almost knee to ground). We do hit the floor at the end to combo up and down in its fullness. Awesomely paced class and invited me to be so in tune with my body and my movement. I used my usual 5 lbs but was tiring out and dropped the weights for the last reps toward the end. The after class stretch is likewise intentionally slower and super mindful. The words at the end were a beautiful love letter of M/BODY and its impact on me. The purpose of our closing meditations to calm the nervous system and book end classes. Favorite this one as it’s a Knockout Sweat and for its flow, vibe, and words. Freaking loved it, Marnie & team; thank you!

Hi Alice! In the meantime, consider emailing them at connect@mbodybymarniealton.com and ask them to confirm if your email is on the subscription list (I bet you’ve checked junk/spam folders already to make sure it didn’t land there accidentally). ❤️

Congratulations on the expansion of your love in pregnancy form, sweet Amanda! 

Slower, steady pace inviting your mind to focus on form and muscular activation with reps, low/no impact with times on our feet, on our knees, in plank position albeit briefly. My mind started to wander and then I heard my name- perfect timing to return to my mindful awareness. Hand weights were fabulous and while my knees can be sensitive the ball was an option that I didn't need this class. Beautiful, slower, opening class that warmed me up but is gentle enough for when you are physically healing or preparing to end your day in warmth and peace.

I appreciate the comments before me to help me know what to expect. Not a traditional Signature type class but definitely maintains the pillars of M/BODY in movement. Flowy, sometimes welcoming messy (especially to override the silly voice saying it needs to match or 'be right.') No equipment, ups and downs, some jump options but not necessary. Sweat primarily from anaerobic movement. For myself next time: recall which is the starter side. I enjoyed the music and now I'm craving Lykke Li (not played but something reminded me of her and can we incorporate one of her songs maybe Little Bit?)

Full body in 45 minutes, with ankle weights we can add after the cardio dance and hand weights (so after 17ish minutes of class). Those ankle weights were felt at the barre (I had some leg shakes) but they were SPICY for the mat work. Such a good fire! The warmup felt slightly adjusted, which is a cool shift. I felt my abdominals but especially my lower back, hips, glutes, and hamstrings for two days after class.

PS Lauren’s energy and warmth radiates and seeing Marnie in a duo led class adds to the joy and sisterhood of M/BODY. ❤️
