THE CHECK-IN

MONDAY | 3.8.2021 Celebrate International Women’s Day with these female instructors from Equinox+.

SUPPORT YOUR TRAINING PARTNER(S).

"I’ve met so many supportive amazing women in Equinox+," says Equinox’s Breanna Cummings. "We really love showing support to one another. It makes being in this space amazing every single day."

MAKE YOUR RIDE A PARTY.

“We’re celebrating your life, what’s ahead of you,” says SoulCycle’s Jenny Gaither. “Let’s get clear, let’s see some serious goals ahead of us,” Gaither says. “And we’re going to dance our way through it, baby!” And don’t worry about being “perfect,” in the saddle or otherwise. “This is not about perfection, it’s about progress. If you think about the evolution of our equality, our rights, it’s been progress. It hasn’t gotten perfect yet but the progress we’ve made sure does count.”

CELEBRATE FEMALE RUNNERS.

“There’s a big boom right now in women’s running and it’s just really exciting,” says Precision Run’s Corky Corkum. She cites Deena Kastor as one of her favorite female runners. “[Kastor] celebrates and shares what she loves about the sport which is putting in the work, being competitive with yourself, and having a good positive relationship with the work, too.”

DEDICATE YOUR SWEAT TO A STRONG WOMAN.

“When I think of women’s history, and the movers and shakers of the world, they owned their vulnerability and therefore, they acted with courage, team,” says Meagan Robar of [solidcore]. “This is what it’s all about: women coming together to support each other because we’re stronger together.” Try the plank extension, from one of Meagan’s classes, demonstrated in the video at right. Press your forearms into the mat, rock your shoulders back behind your elbows and use your transverse abdominal muscles to restack. Try to rock back an extra inch for those women in your life that you support, says Robar. “You know who I’m doing it for? My mother, the strongest woman I know.”
