Lithe Method

These classes are incredibly tough. I went to an intro class, where I thought all of the moves were laid out for me, but I was wrong! I took a Sweet Cheeks class yesterday and have a love hate relationship with it. The instructor was so quiet compared to the music. There were a handful of us who were first timers in that class and none of us could hear the instructions over the music. It was definitely more of a leg workout than a glute workout, so keep that in mind. As a seasoned fitness lover I was still struggling to keep up with the moves. I look forward to trying another class but this was not my favorite.
The reason for the high rating is the studio, which is super beautiful and clean. I’ll be back for a different class.

I usually go to the Old City location and I have to say that I prefer that location better. The exercise program is very intensive and cardio-​heavy. It’s a great workout and I’m always hurting for a few days afterwards.
I highly recommend taking the 101 class before diving into the classes, that or start with the immersion classes. They provide with the a good intro to the foundation which you need because they do not spend alot of time focusing on that during the classes.

Lithe Method is an awesome cardio-​dance and sculpted cheer-​inspired workout. The creator and owner Lauren Boggi can be found teaching classes at this second floor Rittenhouse studio. Your first class is free which is a great way to get a better understanding of what Lithe really has to offer. With so many class offerings that vary in focus and type of workout, I would suggest calling the studio or reading more about each class online. If you’re an early riser you can start at 7 am or get your sweat in after work with a 7:30 pm class. These classes will make you sweat, especially the cardio-​dance classes where you are moving non-​stop. All classes are 1 hour long. Every class provides towels as well as «Lithe» mats (similar to Pilates mats). Some classes require lifting gloves or wrist sweatbands which can be borrowed or purchased at the studio. The studio also has lockers, bathroom and 2 showers for clients.
Some classes are more cardio-​dance based designed to keep your heart rate up while using resistance bands attached to the ceiling. Dance routines vary in difficulty, see class description for beginner’s suggestions. Some dance classes involve lots of jumping which isn’t for everyone. Routines are taught by 10 repetitions of a move to cover the entire routine 5 times before moving on to one of each move towards the completion of the routine. Other classes focus more on sculpting with resistance bands, free weights, or other props. The sculpting classes involve moves similar to yoga, Pilates, or barre classes. Cardio dance classes also involve some sculpting activity between right and left side dance repetitions. Classes accommodate around 25 people. Music in the studio is always upbeat and new. I also find the instructors to being very motivating and encouragin, but Lauren and Kalika are my favorite instructor. Lithe classes are a fun way to mix up my workout routine and I would definitely say they are a more intense workout than you would expect.

Like many of the other reviewers, I have mixed feelings about Lithe. I’ve been to two types of classes so far — some of which involve their signature Cheer Cardio Sculpting and some of which are much more focused on strength building — and I have to say I prefer the latter.
Yesterday, I tried Skinny Jeans for the first time (and yes, all of their classes have these cutesy names that require you to Google them to understand exactly what the class is all about — I find this slightly annoying, but it’s part of their «sorority girl» shtick). The class involves 30 minutes of mat work focusing on abs and arms, and then moves to the barre for the last 30 minutes where the focus switches to lower body. Let me tell you the class was HARD (particularly the second half). I consider myself to be pretty in shape and I took lots of breaks (and in sneaking peeks at the rest of the room, that was common among all the participants). Lots and lots of squats, calf raises, leg lifts — my quads, glutes and hamstrings were on fire and I’m sufficiently sore today.
I’ve also taken Split and Twiggy. Split is where they take two classes and do «half» of each, so you’re getting two types of workouts in one session. They announce which classes will be part of Split during a given month in their newsletters — if you don’t check them out, you won’t know exactly which workouts you’re getting when you show up. Twiggy was one of the workouts that was more focused on the Cheer Cardio Sculpting, and as a non-​regular I did find it really hard to keep up, even though I have dance experience and can pick up choreography. The problem is that the instructor doesn’t stay at the front of the class modeling the moves (don’t ask me why), so if you don’t remember what weird names go with what moves (again, sorority girl shtick with pointed toes/​raised calfs called «stiletto» and squats called «sumo»), you’ll become lost quickly.
Overall, I do get a bit of a snobby vibe from Lithe, although I think that’s my own hang-​up because the instructors have been nothing but incredibly friendly (and they are all in AMAZING shape). The only other thing I’ll say is that they do this nerve-​grating breathing with loud SHHHHH sounds on every single f’ing exhale. I get that it’s probably some yoga-​esque technique that’s supposed to assist the workout in one way, shape or form, but as someone who’s particularly sensitive to odd sounds, it drives me crazy pretty much every time I go there, and I have to wonder how the people loudly shushing throughout the class don’t feel a little odd doing it. Probably not a reason NOT to go to Lithe, but I thought I’d call it out anyway!
The facilities are what you’d expect — free lockers, showers, water machines, etc. Small, but big enough, clean, bright, convenient.

Ow. That’s how I’ll start. I tried this class on a whim because Facebook was advertising a free class, and ended up going to the «Split» class at 5:30. The concept behind this is that for the first 30 minutes you work with resistance bands that are hanging from the ceiling and you do squats and other motions that really engage your abs as well for full body cardio. Then the last 30 minutes of class you work with the ballet bar and do cardio that way.
Basically, I was in a deep squat for an hour and my wholeeeee body is sore! My calves, my abs, my back, my arms! I even stood next to an older lady and she was going great and I was sweating and panting like a pregnant cow. Definitely want to recommend this to people who want to try a unique and well rounded work out experience.
I would love to come back here again and try the other classes, however, at $ 10/​class for the starter rate, that’s a bit high for me. I’m definitely glad I tried it and will be keeping my eye out for other class opportunities that are like this!

I have such mixed feelings about Lithe but overall I think that it’s a great full body workout. Each time I go I mentally criticize the class, the jumpiness of the cheer moves and how ridiculous I must look, however by the end I am sweating profusely and the next day I am sore in places I didn’t think possible. I then laugh to myself for doubting its effectiveness as a good workout and then I return a few days later to go through the mental and physical exercise again.
I completely agree with those who fight with the bands (I’ve been hit in the face by a snapping band more than once) or who can’t keep up or who giggle at the overall peppiness of the class but as long as you keep moving and have fun, it’s a great workout. Personally I don’t think I could only go to Lithe for my workouts but I do like adding it into the mix.

I’m on the fence about these guys still. I’ve only been to one class, so there may be an update in the future but for right now, I’m sticking with 3.5 stars and here’s why:
+ The workout is fun and funny. I couldn’t help but laugh at myself as I tried to keep up with the routine because I looked a little silly as I lagged behind and I kept managing to get tangled in the bands that dangled from the ceiling. But if you can get me to smile during a workout, kudos to you.
+ My instructor, Alicia Tom, was super energetic, helpful, and kept the positive momentum of the class going! She walked around and helped people through the movements and when she noticed we were behind on the routine, she’d jump in to get us back on track. She also provided many modifications if you were feeling fatigued or wanted lower impact from the jumping.
— The music didn’t go with the routine. In my opinion, I think the routine/​choreography would be easier to pickup and follow if it went with a beat or a song. It felt like there wasn’t a progression through the music and they were just playing random top 40 hits. (I also could have been terribly off-​beat and missed what they were trying to do)
— The class space is small. I was lucky to go during the monsoon weather last week so there were only a handful of people present in the class. Even though we were all in the same area, we weren’t over crowded. But the studio was setup for a full class and from the looks of it, you wouldn’t be able to see an instructor from some of the spots.
+ Complimentary lockers available on site; clean locker room space, showers, and restrooms.
+ You need weight gloves for the class, but they «rent» them at the front desk.
I went to the Twiggy class, which I was told wouldn’t be too hard to follow as a first-​timer, but I think it was too fast paced for my first class. After talking with the instructor post-​class, I think should definitely try one of the sculpting-​focused classes before I decide yay or nay on this place. I can definitely see how people get hooked on this place, especially if you find a class style and instructor that you love. The cheerleading-​style didn’t bother me much, like I said it got me smiling. Definitely worth a try, especially because of the complimentary class deal!

I went to my first lithe class– freestyle with Lauren. Hot damn. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. If you want a full body work out, with high intensity. this is your jam. Thank you, Lauren! You are a rockstar! Thanks Anna Marie for taking me and Kristy for the recommendation for the class. I can barely walk today. Such a good pain though.

Just took the LIthe 101 class with Jennifer this past Sunday and it was amazing. I am so out of shape but this never hurt so good. She went over what Lithe is all about and made all 5 of us feel very comfortable even though I was struggling a little on the floor with the ball between my legs and the 3lb weights. Literally after I finished the class I signed up for another Lithe 101 class.

A fun class if you’re into cheerleading and have the memory for choreographed routines. Enjoyed the different sensation of calf work at the barre, but would’ve preferred a more varied leg workout. Also really didn’t enjoy the ceiling-​mounted bands that slapped you about the head as you pumped your fists in various directions.

I gotta say… don’t think I’ve drank the kool aid on Lithe.
I went to Pom which was just wayy too much cheer movement for me. Split was a lot less of that though. I’m kinda meh with the way they teach the classes that have the cheer choreo. If you’re not a total regular, it’s hard to keep up and you spend the time trying to remember the moves and not actually burning the calories.
The concept with the bands is cool, so you’re constantly engaging your body, plus it’s different making it fun.
This studio smelled really sweaty/​mildew-​y, which, for the image I think they personify, seems unacceptable.
(Random note: I’m definitely not a fan of how all the marketing is super thin girls in sports bras and they name their classes stuff like «Skinny Mini». Like, helloo, I don’t necessarily want to look like one of your models, I work out to feel good and be my body’s best, which might not be skinny mini)

I’m glad my obsession with this Lithe is completely gone. There are way better workouts (Pilates, yoga, pure barre, cycling, etc.) and instructors in Philly that actually pay attention to your form and provide corrections when you’re doing something wrong. It’s so important for an instructor to recognize when you are doing an exercise incorrectly and provide correction so that you can avoid injury and misalignment. Unfortunately, the sizes of these classes do not always allow this and the instructor is usually standing in the front of the room not paying attention to anyone (it’s difficult when there are greater than 20 attendees). I am over the Lithe-​Brand as it no longer seems like a community focused workout regimen. My suggestion is to explore the other group workout classes in Philly and the surrounding area.

I’ve dabbled with Lithe workouts off and on since 2011. I love seeing the company’s transformation with the addition of food items, new classes and studio expansion in Rittenhouse.
Being that I tend to get bored with the same workout, I enjoy the fact that there are tons of class options at Lithe. I do wish that they would rotate the classes more often, as I can usually only attend the same time slot each day.
With Lithe, I’ve seen quick results, which is exactly what I want. I tend to return to Lithe when I feel as though my workout routine needs a boost, like during the colder months when finding motivation to work out can be a challenge. Lithe is a positive and up-​beat place and I look forward to working out, despite the gloomy weather.
While I like keeping a Lithe class or two in my routine each week, financially, it can be tough, especially for a workout-​junkie like myself. Even if I can’t always afford Lithe, when I’m able to do so, I know I won’t be disappointed.

Lithe Love Letter– I loved you, but I had to leave you.
This re-​review is way overdue. After years and years of EVANGELIZING the gospel of Lithe, and being the most loyal client, I have quit. Yep, what used to be my favorite work out of life, of all time, has turned into something I don’t like or really recognize anymore. I never thought I would be typing this.
I started out in the cozy Northern Liberties studio and loved it. The workouts were so tough and the teachers were so great, for the most part. I would describe the classes as sculpting and barre-​based. Sometimes there was some cardio thrown in, or some props, but it wasn’t over the top. After a few years, they closed the NL studio :(and I had to go to the Old City studio, which is actually bigger and «nicer» with a changing room, but it just didn’t have the same feel.
I also noticed a «re-​branding» of Lithe going on, in the classes and on their blog, to an almost entirely «band-​based» workout. Gone were all or most of my favorite (EFFECTIVE) sculpting classes and they were replaced by props-​heavy cardio BAND classes. Sorry, maybe I’m in the minority, but I HATE the blue bands, and the other bands. Hate hate hate. No matter how long (for how many years) you hold them, they still make your hands cramp up, the tension is all over the place and a lot of times they are just flopping around, getting in the way of all of the unnecessarily complicated choreography. How many times did I hit myself in the face or get my hair tangled in those stupid bands? I am pretty quick to catch on, and not uncoordinated at all, but oftentimes felt that I was just kind of jumping around, not getting that great of a workout during the CCS sequences. And don’t get me started on those «break it down! One move of each sequences» YUCK. Please bring back the sculpting, because that is the most effective.
So I switched! Completely to Bikram and I can say I’ve never been happier and never looked better. I am now actually Lithe and not so hungry after class as I was with Lithe. Also after years of going to Lithe, I can say that not one instructor knew me by name. That is sad. Bikram has hundreds/​thousands of clients and many teachers and they all take the time to learn your name. Also I feel that Lithe really nickels and dimes you, on top of being expensive as is. I feel that they will do anything to get money out of you and gave me a really hard time after I was run over by a car, after getting hit on my bike, to re-​instate my class card. I believe my doctor began her note with something like «this is ridiculous» Unnecessarily so. Bikram — no questions asked.
Anyways, I’m done with Lithe and I’ve quit the cult! And also, other people have said it, but re-​naming child’s pose to «shell» and all of the other fake nomenclature really annoys me as well. Obviously these moves all existed long before Lithe.

After much hesitation, I finally tried a few lithe classes and I have to say, I sorta love them.
Pros: Upbeat instructors. Clean facility. Not cramped. Unique experience as there are bands on the ceiling that you attach yourself to. Great mix of different classes. Nice online reservation system. And so far, my body feels like it got a good workout after every class.
Cons: Expensive! (I got a deal so I paid less than normal). Since there are tons of regulars, sometimes I feel like instructors go through things quickly and forget that I’m new!
If these classes were not so expensive, if definitely join and keep going because the classes are fantastic.

I wouldn’t have guessed that I’d like Lithe Method, but after going somewhat regularly for the last two months, I guess I’m hooked. I’m a little sad I’ll be traveling for the next couple months and unable to attend classes. The best part about Lithe has been the overall improvement in strength and flexibility. I love the circus-​related classes that I take elsewhere, but strength and flexibility are always major limiting factors with that kind of stuff. Going to Lithe regularly has done wonders in terms of conditioning.
I’ve never been overweight by any sane person’s definition, but I have found that Lithe has tightened things up a bit. I don’t own a scale, but my waist is definitely a couple inches smaller.
I also really like that Lithe is almost 100% women, as it’s much easier to focus on getting a good workout when you don’t have guys staring at you or walking by and peeking in the window. People at Lithe are generally in the range from neutral to friendly, and the space is impeccably clean and fresh looking. Nothing dingy or dark here.
I will say that I don’t love every Lithe class, and it does take some trial and error to figure out which ones you like. Personally, I despise the classes with excessively long barre sequences, and I prefer the ones with light to moderate cardio, not the ones that go on and on until you want to die. The best classes (in my opinion) are the ones that mix things up and don’t spend the entire hour abusing one area of the body. Then again, if you’ve been at it for a while, you might love those classes and find them to be the only way to get a really challenging workout in certain areas.
If you go a few times and you’re not wild about it, I would strongly recommend trying a variety of classes with varying descriptions — the reduced price first-​month pass is great for that. Also, don’t be put off by the choreography. I’m TERRIBLE with choreography of any kind, and it took quite a few classes before I was able to avoid looking extremely out of place — and there are still classes and moves that mess me up. The good thing, though, is that a lot of the moves are repeated in multiple classes, and you can also figure out which courses have more intense choreography sequences and skip those.
My biggest complaints about Lithe? I’d love to see a half month or light month option — something like 15 classes for 15 days or 15 classes for 30 days. I travel a lot, and I have some months where other things are going on and I know I won’t be able to go enough to make a whole membership worthwhile… but then I also feel silly buying a 10-​class card that’s going to cost almost as much as a full month-​long membership. In those cases, I usually just end up going somewhere else.
I’d also love it if classes didn’t disappear quite so often, or maybe there was just a little more variety at this location. If your ideal time slot for a certain day doesn’t have something you like, you end up ruling that time out for weeks in a row because often, it’s the same class in that spot, week after week.
Finally, more classes during daylight in the winter would be great. Now that it’s getting dark earlier (and staying dark until almost 7am), I’ve been trying to hit more morning or mid-​day classes. Another option at 8:30 would be ideal, though I realize there may not be enough interest since a lot of people are working after 8 or 9.
Still, all those complaints are pretty minor, and it’s stuff I can work around.

I have taken 2 classes at lithe and have mixed feelings about the classes. On one hand, I like that form was emphasized and a lot of exercise was focused on core stabilization. I felt that the instructers were energetic and attentive. The facility was clean and modern as well.
My first critique is the language and descriptions used on the website. One class is described as helping you «return to your 23 inch waist.» This is an unhealthy (
) and unrealistic expectation that should never be advocated for by fitness professionals. A healthy waist size for an adult woman should be less than half her height, which means a 23 inch waist would be appropriate for someone roughly 4 feet tall. Another ridiculous claim I saw was that a certain class would help to «re-​texturize» your skin tone. Though exercise in general may help to give skin a younger appearance, it’s irresponsible to claim that one of their classes will specifically re-​texturize skin. There are so many well documented reasons to exercise, that there should be no reason to make false claims. I also think the language that is used in the descriptions of the class are condescending to women. As a place that seemingly is all about strengthening and uplifting women, naming classes «high mini» and «skinny jeans» seems contradictory. Also, renaming classic exercise moves such as a heel raise to «stiletto» is another example of the condescending language that doesn’t sit well with me. Clearly, this place is targeting adult professional women (at least the price tag would imply this). I have exercised my entire life and teach exercise as well. Women do not need their exercises renamed in order for them to understand them. Its exhausting to think that you have to re-​learn another exercise dialect to feel comfortable in the class. As a female health profession, I find this language insulting.
As for the classes, they were nice for light strengthening and core stability, but if you want a good sweaty cardiac workout, this place is not for you. I barely broke a sweat in both classes (one class was described as having a cardio component). Lithe might be ok as a supplement to a cardio routine, but for me, it does not fulfill all my exercise needs and is not a good value for the money.

Lithe has turned me into someone who loves to work out, and I would have never said that about myself a year ago. I started lithing 6 months ago when I fell into a rut in my workout routine. I had been running regularly and doing some strength training, but I hit a plateau. Then Lithe came into my life, and I never turned back.
After the mandatory pre-​requisite class of Lithe 101, I was sore for days. As someone who was already working out 5 days a week, I didn’t think I’d be that sore, but the barre work really killed me! After that, I started going to class 4 – 5 times a week. Each workout was new and exciting since I never knew what was coming. Even after I took a wide variety of classes, I never got so used to any of them that I felt stuck doing the same thing. Lithe makes working out FUN. Cardio cheer sculpting is usually my favorite part of class. Once you take a few classes, you’ll really pick up the basics of CCS and not feel so lost every time you have to learn a routine, even if it’s your first time taking a certain class.
Classes are all barefoot, except the outdoor ones. You definitely need wrist bands and gloves, so buy them ahead of time. You can buy them off Amazon for cheaper than they sell them in the studio. When I was a newbie, I would google Lithe + the name of the class I was taking and read Sayeh’s write up on that class on the Lithe blog, FitHipHealthy. I felt better reading a summary of what I was about to do, any clothing considerations I should know of, and how much I could expect to sweat in that class. I love to mix it up with both the cardio and the sculpting classes. My personal faves are Twiggy, Higher Power, Watershed, Weightless, Rah, Tight End, and Hot Legs. Split and Freestyle are also great classes to take because they mix different classes together. All classes are challenging in their own way, and I never walk out of a class thinking it was easy.
Did I see results? Yes. Not instantly, but definitely after a month or two. I used to strength train a little, but I never saw the definition in my arms, legs, back, and even abs that I get from Lithing. Working with the bands really helps in ways you don’t realize.
I go to the Rittenhouse location. The locker room is clean, has 2 showers, and there can sometimes be a short wait, but I’ve never had that much of a problem. They’re stacked with Aveeno products! And whenever I forget a hair tie or my own wrist bands for class, I just ask the front desk for extra and they usually have some.
It’s expensive, but I always make sure to budget for a monthly Lithe membership because it’s worth it to me. I definitely recommend Lithe to people just starting to work out and people who just want to try something new and challenge themselves!

So I will admit it. I am in the minority. I didn’t like Lithe. I tried to like it, I tried to do different classes to see if it got better, but I just really didn’t like it. Cardio cheer sculpting is obviously for lots of people, just not me. I didn’t even like the classes that didn’t incorporate CCS. I found myself spending so much time learning the moves, I wasn’t really moving. And because there are so many different classes (they rotate them so you will get to try lots of different classes, even if you come at the same time every day), I felt like I was just trying to keep up with the moves every class, despite being fit enough to keep up cardiovascularly. For this reason, I felt like I wasn’t getting a great workout. And I really didn’t like the repetitiveness — I do not want to do the same move over and over and over and over again.
So why 3 stars? Why not 1, if I really dreading going to Ltihe?
It’s not them, it’s me. Obviously, lots of people LOVE Lithe — they have a cult-​like following. The front desk employees were super helpful, friendly, and professional. Whenever I emailed questions or concerns, someone responded in less than a few hours. The studio was clean and they have showers and locked lockers (though only 1 bathroom, which was annoying). I didn’t love working out barefoot because it felt unsanitary to me, but the hardwoods never felt grimy or dirty.
I disagree with others who said the instructors are intimidating/​Barbie-​ish. I found some of them to have killer bods, but others who were just in mind-​blowing good shape. And all of them were eager to help when I didn’t know what I was doing. I found their stamina and physical fitness to be a major motivator for me (along with the 8-​months pregnant woman who was blowing through those routines).
Lithe is not for me. I wasted a lot of my one month unlimited because I just couldn’t motivate myself to go (whereas the last workout studio I went to with a month unlimited, I went 6 times a week, religiously). But check it out for yourself — you may enjoy doing the «bend and snap» (which I feel belongs only in Legally Blonde, not in my workout routine).

Recently, I nabbed a Living Social deal for Philly’s own Lithe Method for just recently tried my first ever Lithe 101 class. For a little less than $ 40, we got 2 101 classes, 3 other classes, AND some juice!
You know I’ve never been one to turn down juice, so before I knew it, it was time to Lithe.
«What’s the Lithe Method?» you may be wondering… Well, according to the website: Lithe Method® is a revolutionary, fun, multitasking and highly effective (albeit addictive) fitness régime that burns fat, sculpts muscle and puts your butt back where it used to be… in record time.
I’m pretty sure my butt hasn’t strayed too far from where it used to be, but the chance to Cardio-​Cheer-​Sculpt was intriguing, and so I donned my workout best to join the Lithers.
As far as what to wear, you don’t need shoes OR socks (bare feet babes!), and I’d suggest leggings or shorts (something form fitted on the bottom) with a comfortable top that allows your arms to move a lot.
The first few steps into the Lithe sanctuary, I heard pumping music, peeked a few slim ladies doing some urban rebounding on tiny trampolines, and was shocked by the amount of Lithe «stuff» they had for sale. From juices to snacks and, more prevalent, «Lithe Gear.» Which, after a bit of checking, I realized is just dark/​black tank tops and leggings with a ridiculously steep price tag. Tank tops for $ 105, and a pair of half-​leggings, half-​fishnet stockings that I’m sure will hit NYFW like a freight train in the near future.
all the other women there were silently reading magazines and sipping on water. Not the most social bunch, but not everyone likes to make conversation pre-​workout. No big.
One of the rules of Lithe is that there is no talking in class — at all. Also, no cell phones in the classroom (I like that one), no street shoes (to avoid fecal matter entering the class. Their rules actually state this.) and NO Perfume! Their 9 Rules are taken pretty seriously, it seems, so I was glad I wasn’t late!
The most unique part of Lithe 101 was the use of the resistance bands which hang from the ceiling. Holding onto these things without gloves (which they normally «require» though they seemed pretty lax with this rule for us newbies) was tough, and I felt my hands slipping a number of times as we pulled the bands down and around. This was the only part that felt like «cheer-​sculpting» was going on but, as we started a little late, I think that we didn’t really get a full immersion into this portion of the class. Oh well, maybe next time.
Throughout the class, I wore my HRM and, in the 54 minutes of the workout, burned 468 calories. A little low for this cardio queen, and I was sort of feeling a little jipped at the end.
Then, I woke up this morning and realized how wrong I was. My abs, calves, and booty are sore in the way they haven’t been in some time. I feel a general tightness that makes me wish we’d spent a little more than a few minutes at the end stretching, but that’s probably my own fault as I could’ve done it at home if I’d wanted. You’ll have to pardon me for not rushing home right away to stretch though… See, I just can’t pass up a free pristine white shower with Aveeno products.
I’ll be back soon, gotta better gauge the rest of these classes. With names like «Skinny Mini», «Barlesque», «Waist Not», «A-​List Abs», «Cinch», «Arm-​istice», «Hot Legs», «Super Fly», and «Tight End», there’s gotta be a lot left to learn. Maybe I’ll finally get to live out those dreams of cheering, after all.
Wait.
I never had those dreams.
