How NYC trainers practice body positivity
Working hard at the gym doesn’t mean being hard on yourself.
Here’s how NYC’s trainers radiate good vibes about their bodies and routines:
“I practice body positivity by never weighing myself and practicing mindfulness when I eat, work out and recover. I go by how I feel energy-wise and how my clothes are fitting. I allow myself to give in to an indulgence without working out extra, and I allow myself to skip workouts when my body feels weak or tired.” —Sarah Otey, Barry’s Bootcamp trainer
“I surround myself with people who support each other in a number of ways. I have been lucky to find friends who don’t obsess over their bodies, which keeps me out of that mindset as well.” —Mahri Relin, owner of Body Conceptions
“Every day when I first wake up, I think of three things I’m grateful for. One of these things is always my body and how the strength I’ve built through daily effort allows me to accomplish all that I do for myself and others.” —Adam Rosante, C9 Champion brand ambassador
“I remind myself that healthy looks different on everybody and not to compare myself to anyone else.” —Lanae Rhodes, SLT’s director of training and development
“I take a moment to remind myself how lucky I am to enjoy movement and how incredible my body is for allowing me to have a fun and active life.” —Alycea Ungaro, founder of Real Pilates
“It’s usually best for me not to compare myself to others because who knows what their genetics are or how healthy their gut biome is, or how happy they actually are in life. We are much more than what our aesthetic body presents.” —Josh Holland, Qinetic coach
“Body positivity is a choice. I wake up every morning with my personal mantra: I say, I do, I am. I am responsible for the life I live, how I live and when I live it.” —Ary Nunez, CORE Hydration trainer
“I practice body positivity by learning about the body, understanding and appreciating my body

We are all human and we all have feelings. Many times, those feelings affect the thoughts we experience and thus affect our lifestyle, our relationships, our loved ones, our jobs, our opportunities, and so much more. The feelings and thoughts begin from the stressors we encounter, the unexpected situations that arise, the memories we have experienced, and then suddenly we are at a loss of how to move forward in making life decisions.

When it comes to physical conditioning, theres more to the core than flat, toned abs. With strong, well-coordinated core muscles, exercise is more effective, back pain diminished, injury risk reduced, and daily life just becomes a little bit easier.
Exercises that strengthen core muscles—which include everything from the upper abdomen to the pelvic floor and the muscles that wrap around toward the low back—should be incorporated into any exercise plan. They can include tried-and-true repetitional exercises like crunches and planks, more specialized methods like pilates, or even a targeted yoga routine like Mahris below.
In this Zeel Virtual Wellness session, Mahri Relin guides you through a series of yoga poses to help strengthen and stabilize the core while emphasizing flexibility and mobility throughout. She also demonstrates optimal breathing techniques to help you get the most benefit from of each exercise.
As Mahri points out, core conditioning can do even more than improve posture and reduce pain. A strong core can give you a sense of confidence, strength and overall wellbeing, for a head-to-toe impact that starts in the center.
About Mahri: An in-demand Zeel Virtual Wellness instructor, Mahri Relin has used her extensive research and experience as a professional dancer, personal trainer, and expert in wellness and nutrition to provide clients with the most intelligent, personalized, and joyful fitness experience possible. Mahri is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist, AFPA Pre and Postnatal Exercise Specialist, Certified Postnatal Corrective exercise Specialist, Certified Wellness and Nutrition Consultant, and fitness enthusiast.
BONUS VIDEO: Intensive core work can be taxing on the lower back, especially if youre beginning a new routine. A properly designed core workout—meaning one that activates ALL the muscles of the trunk—will strengthen and fortify the back, but the everyday strains of life may sti
