The new workout craze that the Brit "It Girls" swear by
The US might be known for some of the largest and swankiest member-only fitness clubs like New York's E at Equinox, but it seems across the pond in London there’s an entire gym squad of beautiful models and celebrities like Suki Waterhouse and Ellie Goulding who devote their time (and sweat) to the Skinny Bitch Collective.
While the name is just a bit of an inside, cheeky joke (skinny bitches, you know?), there’s nothing exactly funny about the SBC workout – it’s a whole new ball game.
Crawling, jumping, climbing, and all why completely blindfolded isn’t out of the norm for the members of this now deemed, “cave girl sorority”.
Trainer and the man behind this fitness craze, Russell Bateman, told Well+Good NYC that no workout is the same.
“You will do things you’ve never done before, and experiencing these movement patterns is integral to breaking out of your comfort zone,” he said.
So things like burpees with a 180 squat turn or inverted mountain climbers with your feet up the wall are pretty standard at the SBC.
“It’s built to make a girl leave the session leaner, stronger – and make them feel like they just had an orgasm,” said Russell.
And although Rusell trains men, SBC is all about strong, female groups. "Female wellness is far more important to me, as I believe there's way too much crap out there that women are fed about how to train and eat right," Russell told The New York Post.
While the exclusivity of this gym makes us want to be part of the girl squad, we think they might be really onto something with their method. SBC come Down Under, please.
