5 Philly Fitness Classes That’ll Get You Dress-Ready for Your Wedding
Whether you’re flaunting your arms or gams in your dress—or your toned tummy on your honeymoon—we’ve found a local fitness studio that will make you feel the burn where it matters most:
For Your Arms
- Try: Flywheel, Bryn Mawr and Rittenhouse
- Thanks to the weighted-bar portion of these high-energy spinning classes, your arms, too, will feel like limp noodles.
For Your Back
- Try: RowZone, multiple locations
- If you’re going backless on the Big Day, this studio is for you. The 45-minute rowing-inspired workout tones your entire body, but you’ll really feel the burn in your back.
For Your Glutes
- Try: November Project Sweat Sessions
- This free cross-training workout held on the Rocky Steps every Wednesday morning is the ticket to a toned tush on your Big Day. 6:25am at the Art Museum steps on Wednesdays
For Your Legs
- Try: Pure Barre, multiple locations
- This ballet-inspired workout tones muscles with tiny but tough isometric movements—dancer’s legs, here you come!
For Your Core
- Try: Plank Studio, Wayne
- If you’re breaking out the bikini on your honeymoon, try this Pilates studio’s MegaFormer machine, a Pilates apparatus on steroids.

Refuel the Right Way: Philly health coach Jessica Procini shares post-workout meals to help you replenish and recharge after morning, midday or evening sweat sessions.
Breakfast
- Organic house-made coconut yogurt with caramelized nuts and cucumber honeydew lime juice at P.S. & Co. in Rittenhouse
- The medium-chain fatty acids in this coconut yogurt actually help you burn more fat after your workout, and cucumber helps you rehydrate with natural electrolytes.
Lunch
- Quinoa garbanzo salad at Old City’s Wedge + Fig
- The plant-based proteins in this salad will fill you up and keep your blood sugar balanced throughout the afternoon. Meaning: no mid- afternoon brownie cravings.
Dinner
- Just Green juice and grilled tilapia fillet platter at South Jersey’s Healthy Garden
- For a filling post-workout dinner that won’t send you into a food coma, opt for this protein- packed platter and a green juice.
