Judie Aronson (Law and Order, Weird Science) recently hosted a private cocktail party to celebrate the launch of her new pilates studio in Manhattan Beach called RockIt Body.  As the hostess told everyone at the party, “this is not your mama’s pilates!”

Actually, RockIt’s Pilates Plus SPX technique is a workout created by Sebastien Lagree, celebrity trainer, who combined high energy cardio and strength training with pilates.

Judie told us how she got started:  “I started training with Sebastien for a movie role and I kept at it even though I was done with the movie.  I was hooked!”

She was so pleased with her result and so passionate about the workout that she decided to bring Sebastien’s Pilates Plus SPX to her hometown of Manhattan Beach.

Seemed like all her guests were obsessed with the workout, too, which was really motivating since I hate the same old gym routine.  Probably why I don’t go, but I still get billed like I do… damn you auto-billing… anyway…

If Judie’s body and her super cute studio manager Bethany are not testaments to this workout, then consider this… Sebastian has personally trained Nicole Kidman, Sheryl Crow, Rebecca Romijn and Elizabeth Hurley.

Uh… where do i sign?!?!

The evening benefitted the local charity We Can that supports families with children suffering from brain tumors.  Guests included Jon Lindstrom, Alice Amter, Michael Des Barres, Judd Nelson, Esai Morales, and Wally Kurth.
