Yesterday afternoon, we took over Pop Physique in Silver Lake for our second Racked Fit Club class of 2014. Thanks to totally awesome trainer Monica Davis' encouraging words and Pop's seriously pumping playlist, we survived the entire hour of non-stop pulsing, toning and lifting. As always, Racked readers killed it.

From bicep-burning weight lifts to butt-kicking barre moves to leg-trembling heel lifts (anyone else feelin' it today?), Pop kept us moving and grooving during the intense sweat sesh with motivating beats by Sugar Hill, Audion, Lana del Rey, Disclosure and much more. After cooling down to a calming piano rendition of the Pixies' "Where is My Mind?", students were treated to sweet thirst quenchers from Los Feliz's The Juice.
