| - PopPhysique is offering free classes during their first week open so I decided to go to a class at lunchtime on Monday. The studio is located on the second floor of Delisle Court where a restaurant used to be. It is still currently under renovations, so it was quite dusty and only one (of two) bathrooms was functioning and neither of the two shower stalls were open.
The studio itself was quite nice and clean, but I do have some complaints. The first being that one wall is all windows to the outside with a bar set up along the windows, if you're unfortunate (like me) and end up at the bar along the window, it means you don't have access to a mirror to assess your position, etc. The instructor was nice and enthusiastic, but she described the positions verbally as she walked around and only sort of demonstrated the positions. When we were lying on our mats, it would have been nice if she had laid down at times too to demonstrate. At times I felt my muscles working hard and I remember thinking, "wow, I'll feel this tomorrow", but I don't feel it in my muscles today.
Will I go back? I don't think so. I get better workouts elsewhere, and I really don't think PopPhysique offers anything unique versus any of the other barre studios in the city.
