Beth Nicely has gained a celebrity following for her workouts, training celebrities like Nicole Kidman (they met on the set of The

Prom, where Nicely was a choreographer), Jennifer Garner, and Sutton Foster. She also helped Gagosian gallery director Sarah Hoover deal with postpartum depression and lose 70 pounds after giving birth. “She is a shining light, a cheerleader, a joyful presence, and a freaking Energizer Bunny,” says Hoover, who started working with Nicely in 2017. During the pandemic, Nicely pivoted to virtual training and launched the Limit, where she leads dance-cardio, toning, and trampoline classes ($20 per live class, $25 monthly for unlimited streaming, $200 for one-onone training). According to Hoover, no other class or trainer has ever challenged her as much. “I was not about to be one of those people who does two Barry’s classes in a row just to get the right workout in,” she says. “I have one hour max, and it needs to count.”
