The workout, created by professional ballerina Mary Helen Bowers, uses dance-inspired moves to help you get a coveted dancer’s body and build strength. But there’s no need to install a ballet barre in your home—all of the exercises are equipment-free. Registration is required for any of the 10 weekly classes, which cost $35 a pop or $280 for a month of unlimited classes.
2Flirt and Get Fit
Where: Flirty Girl Fitness Live

The site also has an array of what they call “Flirty Favorites,” which are workouts that you can access at any time. A 24-hour pass is $5, a week of unlimited classes is $10 and a month of unlimited classes is $15. Options include Flirty Pilates, Bikini Bootcamp, Body Blast, Sexy Sculpt and Hottie Body Boxing, among others.

Where: EMG Live Fitness
What: EMG Live Fitness offers classes that are not coming live from one studio, but from studios all over the country led by some of the most sought after instructors. Plus, you join a class that’s physically taking place so that you can workout with New Yorkers, even if you’re in Kansas—and you get a front row spot. The schedule includes one to two workouts per weekday that include Jersey Cycle, Yoga rEVOLUTION, V-Core Workout and Jeni-Fit at the Barre, among others. Classes are purchased one at a time for $5 or a 10-class card is $40. A dozen or so classes are also available on-demand at all times.
