Meet one of the Studio’s OGs! Lora Magers has been part of Studio E’s journey since I opened the den studio 10 years ago. I would like to add that I have several times told her it would not affect our friendship if she stopped coming 🤣 thank you for your commitment to the Studio! TELL US ABOUT YOUR FIRST STUDIO E SESSION.:HOW WERE YOU FEELING BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER.
I did not know what to expect at all at my first studio E session. I had zero experience with a reformer, however I did completely trust Erin’s passion and expertise. Julia Corbett and I committed to trying it out. I remember feeling intimidated and a bit unstable and I felt like the platform was going to zoom away on me. I was not graceful. But I was hooked. After a couple sessions to get acclimated, I remember Erin having us then focus on form, and eventually strength. I still defer to Julia to keep my reps on count and I am on standby for emergency care if a slippery sweater incident were to happen. 10 years of reformer later= 10 years wiser and stronger : )
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE EXERCISE? I would say my current favorite exercise is side bends- the stretch and twist is something that is not easy to replicate without a reformer. (I would like to add that my least favorite is push ups- and that has not changed in 10 years!)
HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU COME TO CLASS PER WEEK? I come to class 2 times per week with the early morning crew. I look forward to it - it’s my healthiest habit!
WHAT ELSE DO YOU DO TO WORK OUT AND STAY ACTIVE? I like Yoga, Walking - I also love finding Hot Yoga studios and Hiking when traveling..
WHAT IS IT ABOUT STUDIO E THAT GETS YOU COMING BACK EVERY WEEK? The Studio E space is spectacular and welcoming, with top of the line reformers. The instructors are unique, professional, talented, genuine, strong and positive women - each with her own vibe. The classes are fresh. The tunes are motivating. The classes inspire strength, balance, stamina, comradery-I feel Studio E is the total package.
FUN FACT: My favorite class of the year is the last one before Christmas when the studio plays the Classic Christmas songs playlist
CHEERS TO 10 YEARS!
