Online Trainers + Workouts I'm Loving During Lockdown

WellbeingRebecca O'ByrneComment

I LOVE to move my body.I cherish the moments in the day I dedicate to that as a practice that, these days, has become so sacred + important to me. I LOVE + am so grateful that I have the ability to do so + love the energy it gives me, both mentally + physically. Daily movement is such a hugely important part of my overall wellbeing + something I simply can’t be inconsistent with. I did a post about online workouts + classes I love last year + just like you, I’ve obviously had a whole lot of working out at home time to try out some more new trainers + classes over the past year, while also delving deeper into the ones I have always adored like Melissa Wood Health - which of course featured on my previous list too. As we find ourselves still working our way through to the other side of this lockdown life + to a time where in-person gym sessions + a fun Saturday morning at an actual class are a real thing again, here are some of the amazing online trainers + workouts I mix + match into my weekly routine lately..

Audrey O’Connor is not only one of the sweetest people but on top of it, she’s absolutely one of my favourite pilates teachers. Taking mat work to the max, her classes are on fire! I love to feel the burn in a pilates class + you can be sure to with Audrey. She’s also just such a fun teacher, bringing the best kind of humour + vibe. Having recently launched CORE STATE, a membership platform where you an access all she’s about + get your butt on the mat! I genuinely couldn’t recommend Audrey + CORE STATE more! Also her work around mobility is second to none, I adore!

I’ve trained just a few times, pre COVID, with Andy in person, here in Dublin, + really love his energy + approach to working out. It’s intense + it works! Fun + to the point, he is really good at what he does + his success is so well deserved in the fitness sphere. I incorporate his 8 week core program into my week + love how simple but effective he makes the program. I’ve genuinely noticed a sharper strength in my core since bringing it into my weekly movement schedule + love the fact that it’s completely achievable in just 3 days at about 15 minutes per workout. I highly recommend his program if you’re looking to boost your core work. He also provides 1-1 training online + other classes.

M/BODY by Marnie Alton is such a FUN + fabulous class to get you moving. A mix of pilates, dance + HIIT, Marnie offers everything from a quick 10-minute blast to an hour long whole body sweat session. In each class Marnie provides amendments + executes so perfectly on explaining exactly what she means as she helps you navigate your way through each movement. I love how tiny some of the movements are - although it’s HIIT, it’s low-impact - yet how insanely burn-y they are. Think HIIT meets barre!

The Workout Mafia is one I’d be wanting to try since seeing it on Monikh Dale’s IG account + then when my best friend said it’s the sh*t, I had to try it. It’s so badass. Currently only £25 per month for a full subscription, The Workout Mafia is home to five of London’s top five personal trainers who each have their own personal style but all come together in one mission.. to make you feel as sweaty + strong as possible. The way it works is you can join the daily live class or catch it on demand later in the day. I’ve really enjoyed every class since signing up + so far, it’s been pretty tough, which I love.
