So. Let me start by saying....Xtend had me at hello. I know, I know...I thought I had a first love at another barre studio but thissssss place I think is and will be my forever love. Two reasons:
Reason one: Jane. Her voice, her instruction, her encouragement, her. I came 30 minutes early and the owner introduced me to Jane...Jane showed me around, told me what to expect and told me the best place to stand so I was in the corner and not soooooo exposed. Thank you...I am so new at Barre and I know no one is watching but still...I'm an introvert/extrovert and I just like being in a corner until I am comfortable.
Reason Two: Her class was intense, easy to follow and effective and HARD but In a good way!! We spent an intense amount of time warming up and working on core and arms and then onto the bar for legs. Omg legs. I shook like a leaf. But that's ok ...I plan on having buns o'steel come January. Then after that ....more core work!! The moves she had us doing were insane. I'm a beginner and could only do so much but I was totally inspired that I knew if I kept coming I would get better.
What I like about this class is that it was equally as hard as my first experience BUT I didn't feel so out of place or exposed because the moves focused less on flexibility but just sheer toning, and endurance. I'm going on "Black Friday".
I also like that I can now take this class 4 times a month starting in December thanks to Class Pass. I dare say that I just might convert to a full membership after a while!! Try this place if you are new or a pro!!
