CUP-O-LOVE.

Here are a few recent love notes:   

Hey Lauren,

So scratch my previous message about my skiing accident “knee sprain”.  I tore my ACL, my MCL and have a tibial plateau fracture.  I need surgery, but they are going to wait 6 weeks to let the bone and the MCL heal first.  UGH.  It honestly brings tears to my eyes when I think I won’t be at Lithe for 4 months. 

I will say that the surgeon I saw at Penn (who treats many top athletes, esp. the US woman’s soccer team) and Jefferson (who treats the Phillies) have been very impressed with my leg strength and muscles…they are also very impressed with the fact that I didn’t swell too much, and I know it is b/c of lithe.  I am not sure how to explain the lack of swelling, but I believe that is b/c of the strength lithe has provided me! 

Thanks again- Annemarie Leone MSN,

Hi Lauren!

I hope you are surviving this yet again crummy, winter weather.  So, I have to give a little shout out.  Yesterday I had such a bad day! Nothing major happened for me to be in such a blah mood but I think it was the combination of the weather, stress and not going to Lithe (big mistake ;). 

In an effort to get rid of my blahs, I signed up for Sculpt this morning.  A 7am class on mornings like today can be tough but not when you wake-up and tell yourself that Krista is teaching and is commuting from Chestnut Hill. There are no excuses when you think of it that way. 

So, I get to class and am still sleepy and blah with no coffee in my system already beating myself up and then class starts and 10 minutes in….. My cup runneth over!  Thank you to Krista and to you!  Lauren, Thank you for creating Lithe.  Thank you for your creativity and dedication in transforming so many lives, mine included!  Also thank you for picking such incredible instructors, like Krista! ( I know you know how awesome your Lithe staff is). 

Krista is not only sweet and talented she is also passionate about Lithe, dedicated and inspiring!  She is truly a great instructor and her colors shine through even at 7am.  I just wanted to give you gals a little shout out ;) 

Sincerely,
Tricia

Lauren,

I really “HEART” Lithe. With Valentine’s Day being right around the corner I just wanted to take a moment to share the love and tell you and the Lithe Team that well your simply AMAZING! I have been doing Lithe for about 8 months now and there isn’t one day that I am bored or uninspired both mentally and physically. 

The motivation, creativity and inspiration that Lithe and the instructors provide is so wonderful. Lithe has changed my life in so many ways. So thank you for offering something so new and fresh to so many woman on a daily basis. 

Gratefully, TB

Lauren,

So I'm officially back up in NYC now, and I wanted to make sure I sent you a note to thank you.  I was in Philly for 1 yr on a work assignment, and Lithe was absolutely one of my favorite things about Philly (along with BYOBs:)). 

You and your team of instructors are so talented and so kind - doing Lithe quickly made me feel like I was part of a community, which is especially great when you're new to a city.  I am also in the best shape I've ever been in - I have muscle definition that I just assumed I would never get because of my body type. 

I had a great time getting to this point, and I am hoping, hoping, hoping that you expand to NYC soon.  If I can help you with any NYC research, please let me know.  I'll be back in Philly periodically, and you will definitely see me in class on those weekends! 

All the best,
Rebecca 

PS - I've tried Physique 57 and Exhale and they're okay, but nothing compared to Lithe!!

Opps. Tried posting this earlier but forgot to the captcha.

Basically, the incredibleness of Lithe has ruined me from enjoying other workout places. They just are all bad in comparrison. I've tried Exhale and regualr Bar Method. It's like they are middle school level math when I want to be doing advanced calc or something. It's like Lauren was able to see the flaws in traditional workouts.

So, I want to start project lithe start up teams. We need lithe in every city in the us and in rural areas too.

It's the best, and while Philly will always have my heart, it might not always have me there, and I need to workout where ever I am.

Lots of Lithe love!

Thank you, Melissa! You are too sweet. I say lets do it! Great idea ; )

I can't help but to jump on the bandwagon....again. Let's just say we are house hunting and geographical location has some new priorities now (no more than 20 minutes from a Lithe studio)! ;) I guess I too hope that you keep expanding!

Anyhow, i can't echo enough the sentiments above regarding Krista! Who DOESN'T love her?! ;)

Please keep up the great work!! I am loving lithe and reflect back to my pre-lithe days and how I use to think that "runners high" felt good!! I am officialy ruined from other forms of exercise as well!

xoxo

I agree, more cities need the benefit of Lithe! New York- please! :)

Annemarie,
I hope you feel better, we miss you! Four months, you poor thing. Keep us posted on your progress!

[Annemarie]

Thanks Carrie! I miss all of you too! I try to do mini-classes in my living room, but it isn't the same! Once my MCL heals, I hope to come back to do some classes with modifcations before surgery. UGH!
