The list of fitness influencers making waves with their dance cardio workouts on YouTube is pretty much endless, but there’s a reason why Emily Thorne is one of our favorites. This former theater kid is sharing amazing workouts inspired by iconic musicals on her YouTube channel EmkFit.
Thorne fell in love with fitness during her last year of theatre school, when her mental health was at an all-time low. After realizing she’s constantly comparing herself to others and never feeling good enough, she decided to do something about it.
She became certified to teach dance classes and went on to explore other forms of fitness, from bootcamps to weight-lifting. This experience inspired you to create a signature dance fitness class, and she eventually started sharing them with the world under the name EmkFit.
“You do not need to be a dancer to dance. You don’t need to be a professional athlete to work out. You do however need to feel safe and comfortable with your workouts and your environment. That is what I’m here to do,” explains Thorne on her official website.
Since she happens to be a former theatre kid, many of her workouts are choreographed to the beat of music from our favorite musical. From Mamma Mia! and Burlesque to Broadway and Disney classics, we can count on Thorne to celebrate the most iconic musicals of all time through her amazing workout videos.
