| - Alright let me be 100% honest here -- I HATE working out. Despise it. Loathe it. I'm still waiting on that weight loss miracle that lets me get toned and taut while laying on my couch. In the meantime, I've tried a variety of workout classes to hold my interest but nothing has really stuck with me...
Until now.
I always thought the barre studios had some cute clothes with fun sayings on them, but after taking two classes at The Barre Code, I see what those mottos are all about! You will shake. You will push yourself. You will feel it for a day or two (or three) after, but you will love it.
So far at The Barre Code Shadyside I've taken classes with Claire and Meredith. I love the variety of classes this studio offers and the schedule works perfectly for a working woman like myself. I have only taken the original Barre Code classes so far, and they have incorporated sets of light weights, ankle weights, and a "loop" resistance band. This will vary depending on your instructor and which class you're taking. When you head down to the studio, take a look at the front of the room where there's usually a clipboard and the props the instructor is using for that class. You can then retrieve your own from the prop room and prepare to work. it. out. There will be points in the class where you push yourself beyond what you've ever thought possible, but you will be glad that you did. The instructors are fun and upbeat and there is a great soundtrack playing throughout the warm-up, workout, and cool down. The 50 minute class flies by in no time!
I can't wait to get back here for my next class. I noticed little changes in my butt (or "seat" as they call it!), abs, and arms after just one class. That's more than enough to keep me coming back for more!
