Lapine Fitness Studio

Last session of Wednesday and our LFS members still show up and show out! 🤩

It takes an incredible amount of commitment to exercise after a long day of work/childcare/pet care/[insert other adult responsibility here]. 🫩 Sometimes going to the gym after a full day can feel like the last thing you want to do. 😭

But it’s always so refreshing to hear a member tell us, ‘I’m glad I showed up today. I feel better now that I came here.’ ☺️

Even when motivation is low (and we all have our moments)😅, it’s almost always worth it to show up regardless. Your mind and body will thank you later. 🙂‍↕️ And one of the best parts of showing up to LFS? With personalized training, there’s no ‘guessing’ how a random machine works or trying to figure out what exercises you should do to achieve your fitness goals.

We’ll take the mental weight of creating your workout plan—you just focus on lifting the physical weight. 😌💪

Call it ‘eyes in the back of the head’, or a sixth sense, but somehow your coaches know when you need a correction even when you think their back is turned 🥲😭

And yes, unfortunately, we understand that sometimes these corrections make the exercise ‘harder’. 😅😫

But you didn’t come to LFS for ‘easy’! 😤 You came to us to improve your health and build a community with like-minded people who are prioritizing their mind and body! 🙌🤸

So yes, the coaches are more than happy to ‘gab’ and catch up with you about how the week’s been for you. 🤭 (Seriously though, our members have the funniest stories sometimes.) But if we see there’s a way to ensure you get more out of your workout, trust that we WILL give you that cue, even if we might be talking to another member.

And isn’t a great feeling to know that your coaches here at LFS see you?🤓❤️ (Even when you might not want us to see that your rushed that final rep). 😋

Why go to the theatres when you have spiderman at your local gym?!

(Kidding, we’ve actually heard rave reviews about the latest Spiderman movie) 🕸️🎥

But you must admit, sometimes after watching the latest action movie you feel inspired!

To try a new gym (like LFS in Gowanus, Brooklyn)🫣, try a new exercise, or even try suspending yourself upside down!🙃

(We wouldn’t recommend trying that last one at home, Coach Gabe is a highly trained and can safely perform his own stunts)🤸🥷

But being a superhero doesn’t necessarily mean being able to do cool flips/tricks. (Though we can certainly agree that’s very cool!) 😎

Being a superhero can mean challenging yourself to try new things, or simply staying consistent with a fitness routine! And here at LFS we plan to help you with that. 🦸🦸‍♀️

Small adjustments can make a BIG difference in how you move. 💪✨

Our coaches won’t just tell you what to do and walk away. 👋

We want to make sure you understand how each movement works, where you should feel it, and how to move safely and effectively. 🧐

Here’s Coach Johnny working with Mae on a straight-arm pulldown! 💪🔥

This can be a tough movement to get right. 👀

If it’s not performed with the right technique, it can often feel more like a tricep exercise.

But with the right setup and ex*****on, you should be able to isolate and really feel your lats working. 💥

That’s why coaching matters! 🙌

We want to make sure we’re hitting your full body every time you come in and that every exercise we program is actually targeting the intended muscle group. 🎯

It’s all about the details! ✨

You know what they say…the couple that works out together, stays together! 🏋️‍♀️

Okay, maybe that’s not how the saying goes, but it should go that way! 🤷

It’s always great to see couple come in for a session together at LFS! 🫶

More laughs are had, more PRs are made, and we even get to witness some friendly competition! 🤼

We can’t even think of a downside!
1. You’re taking the time to show up for yourself physically and mentally. 💪
2. You’re investing in your long-term health. ⚕️
3. If you live longer that just means all the more years to spend with your beloved! 🫂

And what’s more romantic than a lifetime of health and happiness? 🥰

Meet Erin! 💪

Erin spends most of her day sitting at a desk, and after menopause she started to feel like getting stronger just wasn’t in the cards anymore.

Turns out... she was very wrong. 😎

When she first started with us:
🏋️ Deadlift: **35 lbs**

Now:
🔥 Deadlift: **Nearly 100 lbs**

And her overhead press?
💪 **20 lbs ➡️ 40 lbs**

Those numbers are awesome, but what we’re most excited about is how Erin feels.

She’s hauling heavy water jugs around the office without asking for help, feeling stronger in everyday life, and proving to herself that it’s never too late to build strength. 🙌

Whether you’ve never stepped foot in a gym, or you’ve been working out for years but feel like you’ve hit a plateau, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

We’ll build a plan that fits you, help you make steady progress, and you’ll be surrounded by people who are working toward the same goal 💪 getting stronger and feeling better. 💙

Not the saxophones getting louder… 🎷😳

But in all seriousness, we know some days are harder than others. 😓Whether it be the weather 🥵, work💼, relationships 🫂, or the exercises themselves! 🏋️‍♀️ (The deadlift/deadbug combo is a wild one, we know🤭)

But we truly appreciate and admire how our members show up, despite all these challenges. 🫡 Because we know it will be hard sometimes.

But you’re not working through anything alone. 🧍‍♂️Your coaches are here to help, and your fellow members are always ready to cheer you on from the sidelines.

We’ll all make sure you walk back out into this heat in one piece🫣

Stay cool😎🥶and stay hydrated out there y’all!

Meet our superstar member, ! ⭐️

When Stephanie first joined us, she knew one thing...
🏋️ Big box gyms just weren’t for her.

They felt intimidating, overwhelming, and left her wondering what she was even supposed to do.

If you’ve ever walked into a gym and thought...
🤔 “Where do I even start?”
You’re not alone.
That’s exactly why we’re here. 🤗

We created a personalized plan for Stephanie, coached her every step of the way, and helped her put that plan into action.

🙌 She showed up.
💪 Stayed consistent.
🔥 Trusted the process.

And the results speak for themselves...
🎉 20 pounds down
👖 Clothes fitting better
✨ More confidence than ever

No guessing.
No feeling out of place.
Just expert coaching, accountability, and a supportive community that’s with you every step of the way.

Way to go, Stephanie! We’re so proud of everything you’ve accomplished! 🔥👏

Time for another challenge!💪😈

This exercise is called the Monkey Press… and trust us, it’s NOT easy! 🐒🔥

The goal:
➡️ Hang from one arm, then bicep curl to press DB all the way up to the bar

📏 Only rules - The dumbbell MUST touch the bar at the top of every rep and you can’t drop!

Our coaches gave it their best shot... now it’s your turn! 👀💥

Pick your strongest arm 💪
Give it a try 🎯
Then let us know...
