Hottie Boot Camp (Megan Thee Stallion):
Outside of the song being a banger, the rappers inspired us to return to the gym or do a “Cozy Cardio” workout at home to level up our fitness game – and we’re not mad at them. Megan Thee Stallion hasn’t been one to gatekeep her workout routines or fitness regimen. Outside of sharing her many Instagram Reels with glimpses of her “Hottie Bootcamps,” featuring squats, the Stairmaster, leg lifts, and clean eating, she also partnered with Nike to release a series of core and lower body workouts on the Nike Training Club app. For her workouts, she combines a mixture of weight lifting, core strength, cable lateral raises, and even Pilates.

Her longtime trainer, Peter Lee Thomas, and with Berry’s rē*spin, a health and wellness platform that includes a line of affordable fitness products, which was initially launched during the pandemic in 2020. In 2022, Berry and her trainer, Thomas, recently announced a partnership with rē*spin and the FitOn app, a free digital fitness platform with workouts by celebrity trainers. On the FitOn app, Berry and a team of celebrity trainers offer a series of low-lift workouts for your entire body and specific areas that can be difficult to tone, like your legs.
Tracy Anderson Method (Tracee Ellis Ross):
Tracee Ellis Ross’s body is “Tea,” as the kids say. Now in her 50s, Ross seemingly hasn’t aged, and that has to do with her streamlined and consistent workout routine and Tracy Anderson’s method workouts. Each workout includes 30 minutes of muscular structure work and 30 minutes of cardio. “I have to say that Tracy Anderson’s workout the last five years has been really good for me,” she told Health. “I love the studio atmosphere, I love how beautiful and sexy and long and strong I look when I work out, and I love the loud music.”
