Celebrities like Nina Dobrev and Ellen Pompeo are obsessed with their fitness classes. Ranging from slow, muscle-building yoga to fast-paced cardio like Zumba, there’s a group class for every future workout junkie. Here are the details on who does what and why you should try it:
1. The model workout: Ashley Graham, Karlie Kloss, and Hailey Bieber all get themselves into model shape through Dogpound. The workouts are seriously hardcore, think Crossfit levels. Instructors have participants throw hammers and sprint with resistance bands on, plus much more. If you’re looking to build muscle, this is the workout to go with. The more muscle you have, the more fat you burn. So if you’re looking to slim down, this workout could still benefit you.

Other celebrity goers are Tracee Ellis Ross and Victoria Beckham (talking about a new way to bend it like Beckham here).
3. Soulcycle: This workout has reached pop culture fame through sweat-drenched cycling workouts and the hoard of celebrities who attend them. Kelly Ripa, Lea Michele, Michelle Obama, and many more make their way to Soulcycle very week. With 70 locations across the United States, it’s as easy said as done.
