I've been doing barre for over five years. Recently my local barre studio closed and I found myself displaced. While griping about this first world problem, a friend suggested I try Burn. I thought I was strong from all the years of shaking at the barre.
I thought wrong.
I had my butt handed to my during my first class. :) Wow. I had no idea what to expect but I left there shaking and looking like I'd jumped in a pool. I couldn't move for 2 days. I mean that in a good way.
This is no joke. Think barre/pilates on crack. The mega reformer is not the same as Pilates AT ALL. This is much more intense.
It's a definite learning curve and it's awkward as you get used to balancing , learning the moves, the equipment; but Rebecca is beyond patient! I'm getting less clumsy and definitely stronger.
The class actually goes by pretty quickly because it really takes concentration, and you are constantly moving through a series of different exercises. You kinda want to die while you are doing it, but you really feel like you accomplished something when you're done because this is hardcore!
