Jeff Bell of Belleon Body: "Jeff basically pioneered the aerobics movement in New York in the '80s and '90s and his 30+ years of experience training celebs and real New Yorkers alike has his approach dialed down to serious results from classic conditioning moves that keep you injury-free and not in the gym for two hours. Note: His East Village gym is no frills but keep your eyes peeled for Manhattan's finest." —Joyann King, Editor
Steven Macari of Drive 495: "I keep my training close to home. My husband is a holistic nutritionist who founded SLVRBK and works out of Drive 495 in SoHo. He's well-versed in training and gives me some key moves." —Kerry Pieri, Digital Fashion/Features Director
Leslie Lewis of Sangha Yoga Shala: "As much as I want to do hardcore fitness classes, I honestly prefer yoga. I go to either Yoga Vida in Noho, or to Leslie Lewis's class at Sangha Yoga Shala. I respect any yoga teacher who plays Justin Timberlake—and sometimes her dog assists." —Christine Whitney, Senior Fashion News/Features Editor
Amanda K. of SoulCycle: "She's the only person who can get me out of bed for a 6:15 AM class (or a 6:15 AM anything, really). You can tell she has a background in team sports, because she approaches class like a coach—direct and authoritative without any annoying cheerleading. The Beyonce remixes help, too." —Charlotte Cowles, Senior Features Editor
Mitchell Wayne of Broadway Bodies: "He has the best energy, always makes everyone laugh and most importantly emphasizes everyone putting their own personal touch on dance routines and not worrying about hitting every step perfectly." —Chrissy Rutherford, Senior Digital Editor
Christina Jensen of Physique 57: "My go to workout is Physique 57. I tend to fit in workouts wherever I can depending on the week, which means I almost always have a different instructor. One of my favorites is Christina Jensen—she lightens up the class while keeping the focus on working it out!" —Mallory Schlau, Senior Fashion Market Editor
Erin West of Body Conceptions: "She's got great energy and the workout is perfect for getting me into shape since it's a mix of dance cardio and sculpting." —Amanda Weiner, Senior Accessories Editor
Michael and Demetre of Monster Cycle: "I used to be a loyal SoulCyclist—until I tried Monster Cycle. If you like spinning, it's the most fun you'll ever have working out, I promise. Michael and Demetre own the studio and are there teaching every day—that passion really comes through in their high-intensity classes." —Alexandra Tunell, Digital Beauty Editor
Tiana at Banana Skirt Productions: "I've never been a fan of exercising in public, unless it's on an elliptical at the back of the gym, but I recently joined ClassPass and I've been taking Beyoncé dance classes at Banana Skirt Productions. Despite the fact that I'm rather uncoordinated, Tiana is an excellent instructor and I'm actually enjoying the workout—a first for me." —Julie Kosin, Associate Digital Editor
