About this listen

This week, the Intelligentsia is gearing up for a workout — reluctantly. We're talking about the evolution of working out from OG fitness icons Charles Atlas and Jane Fonda to SoulCycle, Barry’s Bootcamp, and the Peloton boom, and how we’ve gone from in-person community to at-home everything, and now back into the pilates studio. We swap our own fitness journeys, call out a few iconic pop culture workout moments (Brooke's Butt Buster, anyone?), and ask: what do we actually want from a workout now? Plus, we bring in three real live NYC fitness instructors for an inside look at the post-pandemic scene, what’s changing, and where NYC fitness culture is headed next. So, put your mind to it, go for it, get down and break a sweat with us!
