I've been coming here for the past couple of months - two thumbs up, supoprted by my glowing biceps and toned shoulders. Ok maybe I'm not THAT buff, but it's undeniable that I've seen physical change and improvement in my muscle tone. This workout is intense, challenging and completely addicting if you like to push yourself and don't mind dripping sweat for 60 minutes. Classes are pretty packed, but I don't mind. The music is loud and the pace is energetic.
I've been a yogi for 10 years and am an instructor, so I like the studio atmosphere, but I will echo the feedback from others that instructors won't go out of their way to make you feel welcome if they don't know you or provide personal attention. They are all very nice, but I've never been individually welcomed or made to feel like I'm part of their community. These are things I like from a yoga studio, so maybe it's a barre thing? Not sure, but ultimately I'm on my own journey to a buff bod and I don't need a lot of fluff along the way. I just need someone to yell at me and push me while looking effortless at performing the exercises that I'm pretty sure are going to kill me. When class is over, there is definitely a sense of accomplishment. Sometimes it doesn't sink In until 3 days later though when my muscles have recovered and can support the weight of my body again. Feels good!
