Jennifer Yates, founder of Studio Metamorphosis, has worked with Vergara for three years, fine-tuning her fitness routine. Her Seat of Power workout is all about increasing your lower body’s lean muscle mass, which Yates says will allow you to burn more calories while working out and post-workout.

MarieClaire.com spoke to Vergara’s trainer Jennifer Yates, who gave us tips on how to cop the actress’s workout grind.

It was almost inevitable… possibly destiny that led me to be an educator of fitness. It all began before I was born… I consider my mother to be my first mentor and most influential teacher.

Want a body like Sofia Vergara or Alessandra Ambrosio‘s? Then go to their spin studio and have Jennifer Yates spin you into shape. Morph workouts leave you drenched in sweat, but you’ll have elongated muscles and improved endurance to show for it — as well as a celebrity-worthy bod.

The Morph Workout blends Pilates with the Lagree Fitness Method for a fat-burning class that keeps you on your toes the entire time.

Megaformer-style Pilates studios are all over LA, but this one in Pasadena, newly opened by beloved instructor Jennifer Yates (who used to teach in Venice) proves the power of the fitness pro to drive a studio and command a following. Metamorphosis became a super hot ticket workout this year, as did scoring a spot in her signature Ride & Shred class (cycling and Megaformer workout)

Yes, Sofia Vergara hit the genetic mother lode: killer curves in all the right places, jaw-dropping beauty, and that hair! But that doesn’t mean she coasts. “Sofia trains hard and lifts heavy weights,” says Jennifer Yates, a Lagree Fitness master trainer and owner of Studio Metamorphosis in Pasadena, CA, who has worked with the Modern Family star for a year now. “She understands that you have to challenge yourself to see a difference.” 

Sofia Vergara doesn’t shy away from showing off her bombshell physique, and with good reason — she works hard for it!

“We work out at least five times a week for 50 minutes to an hour, depending on her schedule,” her trainer Jennifer Yates, founder of Studio Metamorphosis, tells PEOPLE. “She’s dedicated!”

Devotees nearly wept when Jennifer Yates left Pilates Platinum in Venice last year to open her own studio. Now the Westside’s loss is Pasadena’s gain, and reservations in her signature Ride & Shred class—a mix of cycling and Lagree Method wheelbarrows and French twists on spanking new M3 Megaformers, are precious as gold.

When it comes to looking fit on the red carpet, nobody pulls it off quite like Sofía Vergara.

The Modern Family star manages to look incredible every single time she steps out, and now with the Emmys just around the corner she’s hitting the gym even harder—and we have a feeling it’s going to pay off on the big night.
