Was visiting AZ in February and decided to try barre for the first time. I'm not much of a class person--I usually hike & run. This class kicked my ass in a great way. Instructor was great- encouraging and friendly despite the fact I somewhat temporarily wanted her to die until the end of class when I really felt great. My muscles were worked head to toe- especially my core. Was pleasantly sore for several days after. Would definitely return next time I am in town. Great experience!
