This Karve Studio is really welcoming and the energy is great! I'm glad a close friend convinced me to buy this Groupon with him, because I finally got to try a Karve Studio out!
My friend and I tried our first class here last Saturday and really enjoyed our time here. He's done the Dailey Method before. I've done The Bar Method and Pure Barre and I really enjoyed this one. The instructors told me that Karve is more similar to Bar Method, and I agree, but this was the perfect mix because although I was pushed and encouraged to have great form and work hard, I didn't feel like a drill sergeant was yelling at me. Michelle was a great motivator and made the class fun!
With a previous history of ballet, it is fun to be back in a class where I can use the bar again and whip muscles back into shape that I forgot I had. I'm not one to work on flexibility myself, so it takes classes like these and yoga to help gain more flexibility and motivate me.
I was told I wouldn't sweat much, but I did! Even though just the tiniest movements are made, pulsing at the point where your muscles begin to shake can be really tough work and tiring. You know you're getting results though. You feel it. You feel your core getting stronger and you feel your muscles working to the point of exhaustion. Like another reviewer said, it's super addicting, because you love the way you feel at the end and are all smiles when walking out.
