Lavinia Errico, the visionary co-founder of Equinox gyms and now the creator of Move Joy, joins Lindsay to discuss her groundbreaking approach to fitness and well-being. Lavinia recounts the early days of Equinox in the 1990s, where she and her siblings transformed the New York City fitness landscape by creating an experience that rivaled the appeal of happy hour. They focused on cultivating a vibrant atmosphere with dynamic lighting, energizing music, and passionate instructors, fostering a strong sense of community that inadvertently revitalized the Upper West Side. Lavinia's journey then shifts to her current focus on Move Joy, a movement class designed to release energy, promote well-being, and cultivate joy. She emphasizes the importance of integrating spiritual practices like meditation and manifestation into fitness, recognizing the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and emotional health. Both Lavinia and Lindsay highlight the power of breathwork and mindful movement in releasing negative emotions and promoting overall vitality. They delve into specific movement techniques, including deep breathing, sweeping arm movements, and spine-twisting exercises, all aimed at oxygenating cells and stimulating the body. Lavinia shares personal anecdotes of using these techniques to navigate emotional stress and transform her mindset, underscoring the role of joy as a potent biohack. The conversation touches on the need for the fitness industry to shift its focus from shame-based approaches to those that prioritize self-love and joy, particularly for deconditioned individuals. Lavinia discusses the launch of her Move Joy app, which aims to make these transformative movement practices accessible to a wider audience. They conclude by celebrating the power of a smile and the importance of maintaining a youthful spirit through movement and positive energy.
