Body Makeover Six Week Series Philadelphia (6-week series starts Sept. 9th, $180) Metropolitan Moms is thrilled to partner with Lauren Boggi and The Lithe Method studios in order to get you the figure of your dreams. The Lithe Method™ is a fun, multitasking and highly effective (albeit addictive) fitness regime that burns fat, sculpts muscle and puts your butt back where it used to be…in record time. This intense, systematic, cardiovascular workout uses isometrics, strength training with weights, a ballet barre, other small equipment and the body’s own weight for resistance. The challenging combination of muscle-shaking hell and deep stretches fill the gaps left behind by traditional yoga and Pilates. While you are getting sculpted in Lithe's Rittenhouse studio (255 South 17th St.) your little ones will be within eyesight in the adjoining studio room for tots enjoying time with other babies and our Mommy's Helpers.

Body Makeover Six Week Series Philadelphia (6-week series starts Sept. 9th, $180) Metropolitan Moms is thrilled to partner with Lauren Boggi and The Lithe Method studios in order to get you the figure of your dreams. The Lithe Method™ is a fun, multitasking and highly effective (albeit addictive) fitness regime that burns fat, sculpts muscle and puts your butt back where it used to be…in record time. This intense, systematic, cardiovascular workout uses isometrics, strength training with weights, a ballet barre, other small equipment and the body’s own weight for resistance. The challenging combination of muscle-shaking hell and deep stretches fill the gaps left behind by traditional yoga and Pilates. While you are getting sculpted in Lithe's Rittenhouse studio (255 South 17th St.) your little ones will be within eyesight in the adjoining studio room for tots enjoying time with other babies and our Mommy's Helpers.
