The time is fast approaching for you to be in pictures that will last a lifetime in albums, frames and your guests’ hearts, but you’ve got flags hanging from your arms, a little too much paunch in the middle and more than one chin right now. You need to be white dress skinny, pronto. Whether you’re a disciplined bride looking for a butt-kicking workout, a performer looking to shed pounds in a creative way, or a rebel more interested in working out the frustrations you have with your soon-to-be-mother-in-law than worrying about doing three sets of twelve reps, Atlanta has the workout for you…and it doesn’t involve a smelly gym.
If you want to be in the best shape of your life, but you need someone forcing you army-style, Operation Boot Camp is what you need to shape up and slim down for your big day. This workout is pricey, but it can also be life changing. It will be an arduous 45-minutes to an hour of your life, nearly five days a week, rain-or-shine, but if you follow your boot camp leaders, you will get in unreal shape and you might even get your first set of arm muscles. Perfect for that white dress. With eight locations through out metro Atlanta and morning sessions that allow you to exercise before going to work, seasoned athletes and beginners alike will build confidence, strength and physical stamina during this thirty-day program. But be warned: This regimen isn’t for ninnies. There are consequences for pulling a no-show like doing extra pushups, laps or lunges. Ten-Hut!
If you’re bored to tears of jogging, squatting and anything else that remotely resembles traditional exercise, head on over to Dance 101 in Loehmann’s Plaza. Whether you’re a former professional dancer or just someone who likes to flail around in formfitting tops and leggings, Dance 101 has classes for you. Their Dance 101 Series is four classes (Jazz, Modern, Ballet and Hip Hop) that aim to ease you into structured classes and give you a taste of each style and the basics of choreography. If you already know how to shake your bon-bon, sign up for another one of their distinctive classes like Jazz-i-tude, Fluidity or Lyrical Pop! Fusion. Ei ei ei!
If you’ve had it with the gym and you’re not going to dance the weight off – you’d rather punch someone in the face than that – Atlanta Kick on Miami Circle is the place for you. Atlanta Kick is the same company that started Operation Boot Camp in 2000, so they advocate discipline, motivation and mentoring in their studio, too. You can sign up for their karate, kickboxing or kickboxing fusion classes. There’s no better way to kick off extra weight before your nuptials. Hi-ya!
Just because you’re getting married soon doesn’t mean you have to join a gym, stand in lines for the treadmill and use a sweat-soaked stair climber. All around Atlanta, there are unique ways to work off your flab that will fit your particular temperament and keep you out of the gym locker room.
