Dakota Johnson Shares the Streaming Workout Class That Keeps Her Strong

We don’t yet have a convincing English-language equivalent to “je ne sais quoi,” but if we did, Dakota Johnson has it. The actor’s gorgeous hair, effortlessly good vibes, and very inspiring approach to sleep are just a few of the things we admire about her.

Yet another? Her dutiful approach to fitness. During the shelter-in-place days of COVID, she made a discovery: the online fitness streaming platform Sculpt Society. “At the beginning of the pandemic, I did a deep dive to find a workout that suited my taste and body—and then I became devoted to Megan!” Johnson says. She’s kept up with the burn ever since, recently using it to prepare for this year’s uber-demaning Madame Web.

Sculpt Society founder Megan Roup (who also trains Miranda Kerr and Molly Sims) crafted a custom routine for Johnson focused on endurance and strength. “My filming days were long and there was a lot of high-intensity running scenes,” Johnson says. “So I wanted to make sure that while I was still strong and toned, that I could also maintain being that physical for that many hours.”

Now you can access precisely the same ab-burnishing routine from your living room at home (or really anywhere you want). “People can get Dakota’s exact program by doing our 30-minute program called Spicy in 30 min or the Advanced Program, Roup says. “However, if you are more of a beginner, I would suggest our Beginner Program, where the pace is a little more gentle, low impact, and is a great way to perfect your technique if this style is new for you. If you don’t have much time, then I would suggest the Quickie Program, where workouts are under 20 minutes.”

Even in a post–Madame Web world, Johnson is still loving the Sculpt Society burn. “Megan manages to get that good burn feeling in places on the body I didn’t know were possible to tone,” she says. “It’s a good pain—a hard-work pain.”
