Boutique fitness classes
like SoulCycle and Pure
Barre can run upwards
of $35 a pop, a price
many women are willing
to pay for the expertise
of the instructors and the
community of exercisers.
But if you want a little of
that vibe at home, here’s
how I, Glamour’s health
editor, re-create my
favorite studio sessions.
When I crave a
treadmill class: I love
Mile High Run Club, a
treadmill studio in New
York City, but when
I can’t get there, Skyfit
(from $10 a month,
App Store) is my savior.
You can download
classes for treadmills,
stationary bikes, and
ellipticals—no more
hopping on a machine
with no idea what to do.
The instructor-created
playlists match the
music with the intensity,
and the time flies.
When I need (virtual)
people for motivation:
The Peloton app
($13 a month, App Store)
lets me live-stream
360-degree videos of
indoor cycling classes
at Pelo ton’s NYC studio
from my bike at the
gym. Nothing gets my
legs moving like a
shout-out—by name!—
from the instructor.
When I could use some
one-on-one attention:
I’m addicted to the
revamped Nike+ training
and running apps (free,
App Store); they cover
everything. The algorithm
customized an eight-
week plan for me that
includes running and
strength training, and it
adjusts my upcoming
workouts if I unexpectedly
crush a day, miss a
session, or deviate from
the plan by heading to
yoga. And the form cues
are so helpful—it’s as if the
app is looking right at my
wobbly single-leg squats.
When I want to hit the
barre: I turn to Barre3 or
Physique 57. Barre3.com
($15 a month) uploads
new videos each week,
and phy sique57 .com ($30
for three months) saves
mash-ups of multiple mini
classes to create one
master session that
works me head to toe. My
kitchen chair makes a
surprisingly good barre!

She only looks like
she paid a lot for
her sessions.
Put tops back on, place pumpkins on
a rimmed baking sheet with a little
water, and bake until tender, about 30
minutes. Let cool.
- Me a nwh i le , c o ok ba c on, i f u si ng , i n
a large pan over medium-high heat
until crisp; remove and set aside on
paper towels to drain. Pour off all but
2 tablespoons bacon grease (or add 2
tablespoons olive oil to pan if not
using bacon). - Add onion and sauté on medium heat
until golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in
broth, canned pumpkin, coconut milk,
rosemary, thyme, and garlic powder.
Simmer on medium-low for 15 minutes.
Season soup with salt and pepper and
ladle into roasted pumpkins, crum-
bling bacon on top. Replace pumpkin
tops and serve. Makes 4 servings.
IF YOU LOVE CRANBERRIES, TRY:
Roasted Cranberry
Hummus
“Cranberries are super high in anti-
oxidants and vitamins C and E, which
fight off infections and make your skin
and hair glowy,” says Haas. But how to
eat them other than as a sugary turkey
side? Preciado goes for a subtly sweet
hummus. It’s healthier than cran-
berry jelly, trust—and it’s amazing on
a leftover-turkey sandwich.
1 bag (12 oz.) fresh cranberries
1 can (15 oz.) chickpeas, drained and
rinsed
3 tbsp. tahini
1–2 tbsp. fresh orange juice
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tbsp. water or more if needed
Salt to taste
1 tsp. zested orange peel (optional)
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Pour cranber-
ries onto a rimmed baking sheet lined
with parchment paper and roast until
s of t e ne d , 1 5 t o 18 m i nut e s. L e t c o ol. - Combine chickpeas, tahini, orange
juice, olive oil, and cinnamon in a food
processor and puree until smooth. Add
all but 2 tbsp. cranberries and puree
again. With the motor running, stream

hummus reaches desired consistency.
Season with salt. Garnish with reserved
cranberries and orange peel, if using,
and serve. Makes 8 servings.
