Astrid Swan, Celebrity Trainer My favorite in LA is a power yoga class with Aree Khodai, and she teaches everywhere from Aura Yoga to Equinox. I follow her wherever she teaches and I have an opening in my schedule. I love working out with my one of my closest friends, Jennifer Glysson who is the owner of boutique studio The Body Los Angeles that has a variety of class options so I never get bored. Diana Newton at Fitmix has an amazing mashup class of pilates and treadmill. I take their classes and then they come to mine — strong women supporting strong women.

Akin Akman, SoulCycle Followers of Akin (better known as #AkinsArmy) are notoriously devoted to him, whether they frequent his SoulCycle classes or his boot camp. When sign-ups begin for SoulCycle, they set their alarms, ready to workout with the most intense spin teacher. "I think what makes me unique is that I understand my students. I understand their needs, moods, doubts and fears. I have the ability to use that understanding to bring out a different level of fight in them. I've been able to help channel those feelings into action. Then, together we build," Akin told the Observer. While some worry his classes are dangerous because of how hard they push riders, his fans believe they're best because he makes sure people only work as hard as they physically can, encouraging class-goers to sit down and spin instead of tapping it back if they're in danger.
